After the engine replacement due to piston slap, there were no problem at oil. Never added oil. Only complaint is that it is not stable on a windy day - sure not a German chassis! Will get a wheel alignement soon. Vehicle is very roomy, love the cargo space. May go upscale for the next SUV... Alignement completed, sure was needed! Better on the road. Will look at the new 2019 model.

We Know the Way to Santa Fe (Hyundai, that is)

Our 2015 Santa Fe Sport is roomy for driver and passengers alike, can carry a large amount of cargo when necessary, has all the tech gadgets (after all this the "Ultimate" model) and gets decent gas mileage. Its other attributes are that it is a pleasure to drive and has more than enough power by way of its Turbo to accelerate to whatever degree the circumstances require. This is our 5th Hyundai vehicle. It would not be a surprise to anyone reading this review that we have been pleased with each Hyundai we have either owned or leased which is why we continue to purchase Hyundai automobiles. Truth be told, neither of us nor anyone in our family is employed by Hyundai so there is no ulterior motive involved in our purchases. We will likely continue purchasing Hyundai vehicles into the future as long as they provide a quality product and are a good value for the price we negotiate with the dealer. Update: After 3 years of ownership we still have this vehicle. It is my wife's car for all practical purposes yet I get to drive it as well - when she lets me (LOL). It has continued to be reliable with new tires and periodic maintenance per Hyundai Owner's Manual at our local dealer. Some work has been performed under warranty by the dealer without any reluctance. We continue to be happy Hyundai owners.

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.

Nice car but has issues!

I initially loved my vehicle as this was my first BRAND NEW vehicle. With in the first month I experienced issues with the heated seats not working as they were supposed to and then they didn't work at all. Took it in several times before finally getting it fixed (something with the wiring be pinched). I have also had issues with my moon roof leaking water down the windshield. I have had the car in 2 times to the dealer ship and when I called to schedule the 3rd appointment I was denied an appointment and told to contact Hyundai customer service. I want it to be fixed and fixed right...if they can not fix it they can have the car back. I bought NEW thinking I wouldn't have issues.

I love my car. The ride is great and feels safe. The visability on the passenger side could be better, some difficulty seeing on coming cars on the right.
