I love my Santa Fe!
Honestly, reputation about Hyundai I had years ago was not good due to union workers in Korea how they demonstrated their right at work, and a few bad info from other dealers/salespersons in late 20th century. But as I read an article in Consumer Report about Elantra rated same as Toyota Corolla I decided to give Hyundai vehicle a try: I begged/bugged my parents to purchase Elantra and really loved how it performed. Since then Hyundai vehicles are a lot better in quality and now I believe there is almost no difference between other Asian and European vehicles other than reputation and history of it. Santa Fe wasn't quite my choice due to financial matter, but I don't regret I leased/financed to purchase the Santa Fe I have now, it exceeds my expectation and my next vehicle, maybe next year, I will come back to Hyundai.
