If you had told me three months ago that I'd buy a Hyundai, I'd have told you that you were nuts! After researching reviews and pricing I got my wife one and it (so far) has been a very pleasant surprise. We got all the goodies on it for a very fair price and the warranty can't be beat. I've gotten compliments on it from cowboys to Grannies. We're getting about 21.5 mpg which is what we thought we'd get city/highway.

Good car but not a great one

The interior comfort and the ride is very good for a low priced mid-size Crossover/SUV. Ample power. Good traction. Decent cargo space, although the rear seat fold-down configuration is burdensome compared to other makes. Reliability is fair. I had to replace parts on this car that I never had to replace on any of my Nissan vehicles (I've had 9 of them!). And my dealer's service is mediocre compared to Nissan. There really is a difference in quality, and I think Nissan is worth the extra money. Considering a Rogue, Murano, or Mazda CX7 when I replace this Santa Fe.

On the first tuneup to my mechanic. He said usually he can look at a new vehicle and pick out items that he predicts will fail or break. He said he can't find anything like that on my Santa Fe. I drive a lot and am very happy with my purchase.

I really like the way the car handles, and for the price, it has a lot of great features.
