Santa Fe, a wonderful carefree car, especially for the price and the 100K Warranty.

I was considering buying a Mercedes Benz 320 ML when I bought my first Santa Fe. I test drove several brands of SUV's for comparison purposes, but was amazed at the ride of the 2007 Santa Fe. It had plenty of zip and the gas mileage was reasonable for this type of vehicle. Afterwards I did some research and read an article (not authored by Hyundai) about the 2007 Santa Fe that basically said that you were pretty much getting all the bells and whistles in a comparably sized BMW SUV, but the price tag was $25,000.00 less. After driving the 2007 and now my 2012 for the past 11 years, I have found the quality of the vehicle to far surpass the quality of the luxury cars I have owned in the past. Other than the transmission problem with my 2012, which was handled through the warranty, I have virtually experienced carefree driving with my two Sana Fe's.

Hyundai Santa Fe

We bought a new 2012 Santa Fe and love the car! Since we live in the country, we wanted an automobile that would set up higher when we have to drive on muddy roads that sometimes have ruts in them. We also wanted an auto that we could haul things in so we love that the backseats fold down. We also like how the Santa Fe sets up higher when driving in traffic so you can see better. It is easy to get in/out of - not as tall as a pickup. Rides comfortably. This was our first Hyundai and our first SUV type vehicle to purchase/drive. We have been pleased with it and will probably buy another one in the future. More of a utility auto than a luxury auto but that's what we chose for the price.

This is my 3rd one

My first new car was purchased when I was 40 years old. It was a Santa Fe. We looked at a lot of makes and models of cars at a variety of places and chose a Sante Fe, not only for it's price but also for it's comfort. I have purchased 2 new ones since then. I've also referred several family members to Hyundai and I think we are up to 5 in the family now (Not all SantaFe, there are a couple Tucons)

Santa Fe 2012

This is my 2nd Santa Fe. It is comfortable to drive and has great pickup. I’m looking forward to my next Santa Fe if this one ever wears out. I only have 80000 miles on this car so it will be a long time.

The seats are terrible.

The seats are terrible. My first Hyundai was a 2003 had it for 9 years. The seats were still comfortable after 9 years. Bought a 2012 Santa Fe, and within 3 years the seats are so lumpy it feels like your sitting on a towel that is all balled up beneath you.

My Santa Fe

I absolutely LOVE my Santa Fe. It is roomy and has a comfortable ride. I purchased my Santa Fe shortly after my husband passed away and I sold his pick up truck. I needed a reliable vehicle to get me places and especially in the winters in the Upper Peninsula. At the time of purchase my job was delivering meals with Meals on Wheels and the clients needed their food and I needed a vehicle that would get me through the storms and bad road conditions and that is exactly what my Santa Fe did. I no longer have that particular job but I love the feeling of reliability that my Santa Fe still gives me in my daily life.

Love it❤️

I love my Santa Fe, took me a long time to get one and I am so happy I finally made the purchase. It is very comfortable, great performance and features, (satellite radio, built in Bluetooth for my phone, comfortable and adjustable seats). It is just a fun to drive kinda vehicle. If I ever had to get another car I would definitely purchase another Santa Fe! ??

Generally happy

Generally I’ve been happy with my 2012 Hyundai Sante Fe. It has been pretty dependable with few problems. My wife and I wish we had bought one that had automatic raising and lowering of the back door as it is quite heavy especially to close. We also had to go to an after-market business to get running boards installed because they neither came on the car nor did Hyundai have them to install. With these exceptions I might consider Hyundai again. Hi

Fake Leather.

I bought the Santa Fe for my wife. She has really enjoyed it. It runs very well. We have not had any real issues with the car. regular maintenance stuff. Oil changes and just had the front breaks done at 65,000 miles. The only issues we have encountered is the fake leather seats. They have started to crack and peel. Don't say leather if they are not leather......

St Cloud Hyundai is a very nice place to do business. They're friendly, helpful, & always able to get you in for servicing. Waiting area is clean & comfortable, & they even offer you drinks & popcorn!

My 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe

I love my Hyundai Santa Fe!! I have over 114,000 miles on it and have not needed anything major done to it. I hope to keep it until the end of the year and perhaps purchase another Hyundai! The only real issue is the headlights. They seem to be hooded by the hood of the car. What I mean is that it seems that they do not shine as high off the road as they should.

No brainer Hyundai is simply that best buy for the money

Bought a new 2012 Santafe and it has proven to be the best SUV we have owned. We will definitely purchase another Santafe. The service department is made to make one feel relaxed , providing coffee, assorted juices and several choises of doughnuts and the best mechanics for your Hyundai.
