Love My Car

I have enjoyed my Hyundai since the day I took delivery of it. I like the way it handles in all weather. I have had no complaints at all. The only time it has needed repair was caused by a defective oil filter installed by Meineke . I have learned my lesson about going to the dealer for oil changes.

Bummed

The repair to a flap on bank one of the manifold intake was SUPER expensive. My mother had a Santa Fe 4 years older no check engine light EVER. This is my third check engine light and I replaced 2 sensors already. So I wonder if mine was on the assembly line the day after the company holiday party or something. The first 2 years I owned it I loved it.

Santa Fe 2012

GPS doesn’t work!!!?$2,400 to repair. Rust around the filler for gas area.? Don’t think the rust should have happened. And I can’t believe that I need a new GPS. The maintenance was right on time and the vehicle was only drove in town. And exterior was waxed multiple times.

wind noise

Notice a lot of wind noise coming from the doors and back door. Seems like the door seals are not sealing and have dried up allowing road noise to enter and dirt on the back floor tray. This is getting louder as time goes buy. Keep looking for for window down but its coming from the doors.

too high,,,,,,,,,,we can't get in very easey

were old, we can't get in with out trouble,,,,,need to trade it in,,! we bought it when our old car blew up in th middle of bankruptcy, and had no choice but to buy the car under pressure because you can't do without a car as far as things are away from each other, like the food store, car lot, movie, etc. etc. I need to refinance as soon as I can. I hope this is 200 characters...……...good bye

No. 4

Getting ready to purchase my 4th Santa Fe. It suits all my needs. Have had no mechanical issues. Is the perfect size for transporting food, luggage, kids, whatever. We try to trade at around 95k miles.

Santa Fe 2012 is a gem!

My son gifted me the Santa Fe for my birthday six years ago. I have driven the car over150,000 miles including 8 cross country trips. We call her Opal and she is a true gem! I have never been stranded anywhere and the maintenance has always swift and easy.

Safety, Comfort, Style

My vehicle literally saved my life in a bad snow storm. It has preformed spectacularly in all terrains and climates. It is an extremely comfortable vehicle with great features like blue tooth tethering. The back seats fold down to allow two full size people to sleep comfortably. I've gone on several camping trips like this. My car is not just my transportation but now part of my history. I would highly recommend this vehicle to anyone!

Santa Fe Limited

I love this vehicle! My favorite in years. Lots of power, goes great in bad winter conditions. Loads of room without feeling too big, handles well . I feel very secure in this vehicle. My husband complains that the gas pedal is “goosey”, but he only drives it occasionally, I’m used to it and have no problem. My only negative comment would be inability to have full windshield defrost and heat on the floor and into car at same time. Love this car!!!

Love my Hyundai Santa Fe

I love my 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe! That vehicle is so much fun to drive.. I can make u-turns on a dime. It took me a year to make a decision on the vehicle I wanted. I checked and test-drove all of the vehicles in that class before selecting this one. I picked it because of the warranty. I'm very glad that I did. You can't beat the warranty compared to other vehicles in that same class. If I had to choose all over again I would do the same thing. I've never had a moment's trouble out of it. It performs the same as it did when I drove it off the lot in 2012. I have no plans to ever trade it in. I'll keep it and buy a second vehicle but I'll never give it back. It's very safe and good on gas. It's pretty, roomie and helpful. I can bring large items home from the store and they fit. I brought home an upright freezer in the back! .My friends love riding with me.. They tell me the back seat is very comfortable. If there's a road trip everybody wants to ride with me. I love seeing it after it's washed. I make sure I keep it wax. The. Chrome and color black that it is shine beautifully at night. Any handles well on the road. I can stop on a dime. Some idiot decided to make it a legal left turn and that truck saved my life. I can't say enough good on that car. It performs and handles well on the road and the freeway. I'll never trade it in. I got a good one. I definitely recommend this vehicle. I started as a leased and purchased it because I loved it so much. Good dependable vehicle.

2012 Santa Fe

Love my 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe because it is a V-6 and 5 passenger, has a lot of storage under back panels. Nice pick up and go for passing on highways. Holds all of my camping gear and can sleep in back when you put the rear seats down with a Queen size air matrass.

I'm a Hyundai Person

I have owned 3 Hyundai Santa Fe s in succession. The Santa Fe is such a good little auto. Repairs are only the regular ones. I change tires and get oil changes and that's it so far and she is 6 yrs old. She is just the right size to get me in and out of anywhere without any problem. I hope they continue making Santa Fe's with the same quality and workmanship as they have in the past.

Going Places

The Santa Fe is very dependable. We've made several trips out of state, day trips with the Grandchildren, and the regular daily commute. Also comfortable and reliable. The Santa Fe style is impressive yet classy.

Great SUV

Turbo 6 has great get-up and Goooooooo but still gives the 20+ MPG. Very low service costs. Runs forever... Great body style. Comfortable and roomy interior. now at 50K with OIL changes, tire rotations, engine and cabin filters, and 2 speed wheel sensors(under warrantee) my maintenance costs are $950 for 5 years. Not Bad....
