Hyundai Sante Fe

We bought this Sante Fe a few years back, used. Looked and looked and this seemed to be everything my sister needed for her retirement car. The traction is great on her steep driveway. She can see around her with the big windows. Lots of space for softball games with the kids. Its been very little maintainance. So glad we found it!

Santa Fe

This car is remarkable in every way I can describe. It handles well in rain or snow and is a good 4wd on mt roads. The roomy interior also has a better than average cargo area. The gas mileage is excellent for a 6 cylinder, aveg 22.4 mpg.

7 Years and Still in Top Form

My 2012 Santa Fe is still as reliable as the day I drove it off the lot. Sometimes I think about trading it in buy why? I still get great gas mileage and have had only minor maintenance issues over the years. Hyundai will continue to be my brand.

We have a hard time getting in it

We are old and have a hard time getting in and out of it the car is too high off the ground for us. I was forced too grab it at the time because my old car blew up and I had to have a car right away and now I am stuck with it!---:

Hyundai Santa Fe

Surprisingly, my Santa Fe has held up well structurally in 2 minor accidents. It is easy to maneuver in tight spaces. Acceleration is great! I would prefer a little less highway driving interior noise, but it is still better than many other vehicles.

AHHHH my Hyundai

Wife love's it, best car's we ever owned. Repairs, when needed, are never costly. For the price, hands down the best and better then high priced Jeep's. I do heavy driving and it's like a new car and never disappointing to us, ever. I replaced the tires and off I go.

Love the ride

My only recommendation is the cargo space between the seats should be large enough to fit a woman’s handbag. It is also not positioned very well for a five foot person. I also worry about the nearness of the steering wheel in relation to the air bag going off. Cars aren’t designed for short people.

Purchase of Santa Fe was great decision.

After owning a problematic Honda, I decided to go for the Santa Fe. Best decision! I love this vehicle. Reliable, good looking, no problems, and I already have 108,000 miles on it. I plan on keeping it for a while and certainly look forward to my next Santa Fe when it is time.

front wheel drive verses all wheel drive

My previous Santa Fe was all wheel drive and when I purchased this one, I opted for a less expensive model. I thought it wouldn't make a big difference in how it handled in Winter weather, but I was wrong. I need to go back to an all wheel drive car.

2012 Sante Fe

4 Sante age and 1 Tucson all wonderful to own and drive. Craftsmanship and quality of work is top notch. Put ignition back on dash. Gas cap lid works great on door. Need more cup holders. Seats are just right

Love my Hyundai

Love my Hyundai. Handles really good in the snow has plenty of room for all my camping gear or all three dogs. The storage is plenty. Really should make a pickup truck. Make it easier for me to transport my kayak.

Perfect fit for me

Not too big, not too small, just right. I like the power and ease of driving. Comfortable on trips and around town. Love the twilight black exterior color and the gray interior. I'm glad we bought the Santa Fe.

Six-year, 50K mile review

The 2012 Santa Fe was the last year of the "two-box" design. In 2013 Hyundai moved to the "egg" design, likely to compete better with the Honda CR-V. Our Limited version has a V6 naturally aspirated engine making about 270 hp. The design provides for a lot of light and visibility in all directions. The vehicle has proven well-designed and engineered for maintainability, and has worn well. Seats and floor mats have worn well. Our vehicle is Sierra Red Metallic which is an excellent color. Interior is beige leather which is also excellent.

2012 Hyundai Santa Fe

I have a 2012 SantaFe with 144,000 miles on it & I love my car. Other than routine maintenance & my most recent service I have had no trouble with my car. I just put $1800 into repairing the engine due to a valve leak but this js the first time I had any major repair. I keep my cars for over 200,000 miles so I figure by 2021 I will be researching the Santa Fe & if they have a good rating I will buy another one.

Vehicle Review for 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe

I really like my vehicle. Everything is to my liking except for 3 important items. First, the road noise is terrible. I expected better. It really drowns out my music and discussions, etc. Second, I'm disappointed with the ride quality. It could be smoother. Third, the MPG isnt nearly as good as what was indicated when I bought it. Other than that, I definitely like the vehicle and the service you offer.

Best car I've ever owned!

My Hyundai Santa Fe is a 2012 model and I will most certainly purchase another one just as soon as I start having problems with this one! Until then, I have never been happier with an automobile like I am with this one. I love everything about it...size, MPG. The only thing missing is all the updated features like rear camera, built in GPS, etc., but since I have gotten along without them for this long, I will continue to do so until problems begin. Nothing has ever been wrong with this car except for tire replacement. How many people can say that about their vehicles?!

Hyundai Santa Fe

This is my second Santa Fe and third Hyundai. Best service ever from Crown! Love the way my SUV rides. I've traveled easily and my car has driven my grandson to and from all his sports events with ease. I have always felt safe during severe weather while driving my Santa Fe! Just love my baby!

2012 Hyundai Santa Fe

I love my Hyundai Santa FE. I wouldn’t want another vehicle at this point. Vehicle has been excellent for me in driveability, and assume due to keeping up with maintenance it will continue to be an excellent vehicle for many miles to go. Have about 79,000 right now, and hope to keep this vehicle for another few years. Love my Hyundai and will buy another one when I need a new vehicle.
