Excellent quality and luxury for the price!
We have a 2006 Hyundai Santa Fe we bought brand new, and a 2013 Hyundai Sonata we bought used in 2014 (from Eastern Shore Hyundai). We still have BOTH vehicles, and love them! The ride on the Sonata is very sporty and fun, although I have read where the dealership can adjust it to ride more smoothly if that's not your thing. Ours is fully loaded, with bluetooth capability to pair your phone: if you don't have this, you have no idea what you're missing, and you need to get it ASAP. We change the oil in this vehicle every 7000 miles, and outside of basic (very rare) upkeep items and the occasional recall (free), we never have to do anything with this vehicle, and it runs the same now, as the day we got it! The trunk is surprisingly spacious--deeper even than the Santa Fe. My husband and I joke that we could hide a body there and no one would ever know (we haven't tried it yet though, just in case anyone is wondering). I have only two complaints, and they are very minor: the paint on the steering wheel center (surrounding the power steering buttons and volume/voice control buttons) begins to peel off after several years of use. The paint also peeled off of the chrome grill on the Santa Fe, but Hyundai seems to have fixed this issue, as we've noticed no damage on the grill of the Sonata. Overall, these cars run well, and presumably for a VERY long time. We now have 104,000 miles on the Sonata, and over 240,000 miles on the Santa Fe, just for reference!
