Impressive......So Far

3.5 V8 5 speed Shiftronic. Had the SF two months now, put 4K on it. Fuel Economy not the best, with a lot of freeway only 18mpg. Went to dealer for oil change, and warranty work, Rt/Ctr air vent not working, and a piece fell off the turn signal. Also had the TSB done to stop the lurch when taking off. It seems to have worked, much smoother acceleration. So far... dealer okay. After the TSB, fuel economy did improve to almost 20 mpg.Hopefully that will continue up. Dealer said it would take the computer about 7000 miles to adjust to how we drive. Was the first new vehicle we could afford in over 15 years. Excellent value, if the reliability is as good as they say it is. Time will tell......

i was so excited to get my first new car in 30 years and i couldn't have made a better choice and the price is perfect so many standard features helped me make the decision. I picked arctic blue because everyone has silver and the color is getting old,at least i can find mine in a sea of silver at the mall. i love the stereo system.the ride is smooth not bumpy like my brothers jeep liberty,even he agreed.and wished he had checked into the sante fe before he had puchased his liberty. and thats why i love my hyundai!!!!!!!!

The best SUV on the market for the money, who needs 4wd, when the frt wheel drive is just as good in snow & ice.
