This was initially a European product that Hyundai imported to North America for 2 or 3 years. Even though some publications have said this is a worse-than-average vehicle for frequency of repairs, my experience is that the 2011 version has been highly reliable. The recalls were for minor problems that local dealers straightened out in an hour or less each trip in. My only issue areas are the seat comfort for longer trips and the amount of road noise that gets into the cabin. On the other hand, the 5-speed manual is very pliant and well-synchronized going both up and down. The car has never let me down.

We bought this car new in 2011 right before our first child was born, and we are still driving it as a family of four with a large dog 13 years later. We are at 118,000 miles. The dog is a bit of a squeeze, but he manages by stretching from the back seat to the front seat. We take this car everywhere as it is our only vehicle; camping, hockey tournaments, skiing, mountain biking, you get the idea. The stock tires were garbage and the transmission failed at about 50,000 miles but was replaced under warrantee. Other than that, it has only been oil changes and fluids. We put winter tires on for ski season and it handles amazing in the snow. Its such a practical car. We are finally in the market for a second car (keeping this one around for the kids to learn how to drive in), and part of me wants to buy another one.

The MT is fun to whip around, yet gets good mileage---unless you cruise at 80. It's not a *fast* car, but a *fun* car. The hatch and split folding rear seats make it extremely functional too. I got mine used and have kept it six years as my daily driver and occasional road tripper. No complaints.

We already have a 07 AWD Santa Fe, with a pretty reliable record. Didn't know about this car 1 year ago, but it fits the bill perfectly. Mileage is 25-28 city and 31-34 highway with a light foot, car coasts very easily in neutral, I throw it there often. Ride can be harsh on the freeway in So Cal, my wife dislikes this bumpiness caused by the perpendicular cross-cuts in the pavement for water drainage. Overall no problems at all, with a few rattles coming from the shifter and occasionally the car idles like a diesel for no reason. I would recommend the manual shifter if you want to have more control over the driving experience. Older people with bad backs will not like the SE.
