Used 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport 4dr SUV AWD (2.4L 4cyl 6A) Consumer Reviews
Loving it!
I've had my 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport 2.4L AWD for three weeks now and all I have to say is I'm very happy with it. We just had a snow storm over the weekend in Oregon and this vehicle drove effortlessly without the need for snow chains. The power is adequate, it's comfortable, quiet, and is sleek inside and out. Plenty of room for my kids and storage space. I'm averaging about 23 mpg in mixed driving situations which is comparable to the 2010 Hyundai Tucson my wife had (and it wasn't AWD equipped).
Updated review, 3 years, 44,000 miles
I have now had this car for about 37 months and have put approximately 44,000 miles on the car. I still very much like this car and would recommend it to potential buyers. Pros: overall looks, handling, logical location of controls (one caveat: the gas fill release lever is in a weird position), ease of integration with iPhone (unequaled with any other car I have owned or driven), comfort on long or short drives, ease of seat positioning - especially for cargo. I also have the original tires which are just now needing to be replaced. Cons: gas mileage (noted in original review), cargo space is ok but other competing models/brands may have better. Also, I had a very odd problem with my instrument cluster going out. It took the Hyundai dealership about a week to locate the problem, and what they determined was that a wiring harness under the seat was rubbing and creating intermittent shorts in the fuse controlling the instrument cluster. They did ultimately fix it and I have had no issues since then. Overall: very happy with this car. I intend to hold on to it for several more years. I do a lot of hiking and I have had no problems accessing most remote areas, even though it is a "light duty" SUV. That being said I have not put it through the paces on really crazy-tough terrain or pulling/carrying heavy loads. Handles reasonably well in snow. I think this is a great price point for this segment of the SUV market.

The Best Car I've Ever Owned...But
As the title says I have loved this car but with a growing family and the need for a full size truck I will be turning it in as the lease ends. I have had zero issues with this car, it's been a pleasure to drive up and down the east coast. Very comfortable and loaded with everything I needed. The blind spot alert was the best of any car and I always felt safe in it. Although the storage was a little small I put a Thule roof carrier on and it was perfect. I won't go on and on but will say if your thinking about buying one..go for it. You'll be VERY pleasantly surprised...

Enjoying my new car
I traded in a 2008 Santa Fe 2.7L V6, this 4cyl 2.4L has just as much pick up to merge into traffic. I was getting 23mpg in the summer and 20 in the winter ( NY), currently getting 26.6mpg. People need to realize your fuel economy also depends on how you drive. Slowing down increases economy, drive at 65mph or less! Nice interior, lots of space and storage. Good sound system. Update: traded in my 2014 with 57000 miles for a 2017. Maintenance : oil changes and tire rotations, nothing else. Had this car for 3 yrs, served me well.
