I have had this car for three months. So far, it has been great. Fun to drive, easy to handle. I have the V6, felt the 4 was short on power during the test drive. Avg 22mpg in the city, around 30 on the hwy. One of the features of this car which they don't push is its short turn radius. I can whip it around like a compact and have gotten some parking places that amaze my riders.

"CUTE" SUV

The Santa Fe is a "cute" SUV, especially in Red, but it's not very comfortable when it comes to seating. The front seats are hard, the seat itself is too short and the power seat is very hard to adjust to a comfortable position. Actually the passenger seat is more comfortable than the driver's seat. The ride is way too stiff. When the back seat is flipped in the down position it does not lay flat making it hard to haul flat items or even packages. They keep sliding toward the back of the vehicle.

I have ownded two Santa Fe’s a 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe 4x2 2.4 Limited (Guatemalan market version) it was a good car, normal gas mileage but felt a lack of power, this suv had a 3rd row seat and would’ve loved the USA Santa Fe’s would have gotten this as it does come in handy. Although at 100,000kms the engine blew and had to be rebuilt at a cost of $1,500. I bought a 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited 3.5L V6 and I love the power the engine has and a confortable ride. I bought the car on copart and brought it to my country and I have enjoyed this car for almost 4 years and haven't had any problems apart from regular maintenance, tires, oil changes and suspension.

No music for this Hyumdai owner

We purchased a new 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe 4 1/2 years ago. About 7 weeks ago, the radio died and does not work. We were informed the warranty for electronics is good for 3 years. The dealer is willing to help us out for the cost of a new system, but Hyundai is not. Why would the radio die after 4 1/2 years of use? Needless to day, I am not sure if I will ever purchase a Hyundai again. I guess the advertised 5 year warranty is not what you pay for.
