Love My SUV Except...

I love my SUV Except I had to buy winter tires because it doesn't SWITCH into all wheel drive fast enough. Also does not get the Gas mileage claimed I'm the original owner. But love the overall vehicle.

Great vehicle

This is my second Sante Fe. I think I will be keeping this one for a while. It has never let me down. It has a great turn radius and it's a very comfortable ride.

Love, Love, LOVE my Santa Fe!

This is my second Santa Fe and they are very dependable vehicles, the comfort you want in a vehicle and the drive! Its hard for me to even consider changing to something else, since I have had such good luck with this vehicle.

2012 Santa Fe

I purchased my Santa Fe new in December 2011. The 2012 Red Santa Fe just caught my eye. This suv has been amazing. The gas mileage is good, it drives very well, roomy, comfortable and extremely dependable. Would I buy another one day? Absolutely... Hyundai is my vehicle!!!!!

My 2012 Santa Fe Has Been a Great Car!

Even though my 2012 Santa Fe doesn't have all the technology "bells and whistles" that newer cars have today, I don't intend to trade it until it drops. It currently has 50,000 miles and the original tires are still good, the engine hasn't had a single problem, the interior looks like new, and the exterior is holding up great. I call it my "zipity do da" car because it has such great acceleration while having good gas mileage.

The Hyundai Santa Fe ROCKS!!

This is our second Santa Fe. These are fantastic vehicles. They are solid and well designed. We like the all-wheel-drive for wet and snowy weather. Inside is roomy and has the right amenities.

Outstanding Performance

I have had my Santa Fe for 5 years now and I have to tell you that outside of routine maintenance I have not had any challenges. And, my original tires last over 60,000 miles before having to replace them. Go Hyundai!

Still happy after 5 years

I love everything about my Santa Fe even after 5 years. Wish I had a different color because I don't have the time to keep the "black" clean but otherwise, I love it! I plan on replacing it with another Santa Fe sometime in the future.

from 6 cylinder, AWD to a 4 cylinder, front wheel drive.

I decided I made a mistake downgrading my vehicle. My next vehicle will be back to an AWD one.

Santa Fe #2

This is my second Santa Fe. I drove my first one for 7 years and traded it in just before hitting 100K miles. I never even looked at any other SUV when making a trade. I knew I wanted another Santa Fe. The most expensive thing I had to buy when driving my old one was $400 for a set of tires so I was already familiar with Hyundai's reliability. My local dealership is wonderful to deal with and very accommodating. My 2012 Santa Fe has so far treated me very well and I am sure I will enjoy it for years to come.

Love it!

Bought my 2012 Santa Fe in 2013 from CarMax. Was told it had been a fleet vehicle. Super comfortable, handles well. I drive a lot of miles and have had no problems. Mine is a 4-cylinder which is a huge gas-saver on a vehicle its size. My only criticism is that there are HUGE blind spots on it, and my vehicle doesn't have a back-up camera. My next Santa Fe definitely will and the problem will be solved. All around great vehicle
