Bought it new, (traded in a 2012 Santa Fe), Wife's daily driver till it hit 110,000........... now its mine. the engine /transmission have been awesome. nothing has gone wrong on this car......NOTHING! Interior is excellent, heated seats, leather(front and rear). we live in gravel, kinda bumpy so was concerned it would rattle apart....wrong. I like it well enough to drive the wheels off of it. Like the push button start, no digging for keys. my only digs? is also the steering, its not ideal but tolerable. the front seats feel a bit short front to back. (I also drive a full size ford pickup) I am not a big guy 5'10", I think if i was 6ft+ I would be uncomfortable. In the snow the AWD is very confident, Its been a great car these past 6 years.

Dangerous Steering

I bought this vehicle a week ago and have to advise you to not purchase until Hyundai has a solution to the steering problem. The car doesn't track straight at all, darting left and then right requiring constant and exhausting corrections to the wheel. The wheel doesn't center itself. To explain what I mean, while going around a curve if you remove your hands from the wheel, the car continues to go around the curve. It never makes any movement to center the wheel and track straight. At highway speeds I have never felt less in control. Even with two hands on the wheel driving for more than 15 minutes is a frightening and tiring experience.

I only have 500 miles on the car but I did have a scary steering problem with an easy fix. Driving on the freeway I was also experiencing wandering and went to the dealership to return the car. While at the dealership I by chance checked the tire pressure, all tires were at 45psi, we let the air out of each tire to 35psi and she's been driving like a dream. I filled up yesterday and parked at home with a 22.3 mpg computer reading. I went skiing this morning 1st going for coffee and then up a Canyon to a ski resort. After a most excellent day of skiing returned home with a computer reading of 23.9mpg!

Everything is fine except the head lights. I could not get Hilton Head Hyundai to fix them so while in Asheville I took it to the dealer and within 20 minuets they were adjusted perfect (after two years). What a shame I could not get my dealer in Hilton Head to anything except say that is the way they are suppose to be.

Love my NEW Sport Santa Fe - 2.4L AWD

I really enjoy my New Santa Fe, this is my 3rd Hyundai. I owned a GT Elantra (manual) and I still have my 2005 Santa Fe GLS, at 126,000 plus miles it still runs great. I tested BMW,Subaru, Audi, Explorer, Toyota, and after testing the new Santa Fe, I opted for another one. I chose Pearl white, first time with a bright color, my 2005 is black. Love to drive it, everyone loves the interior and exterior. My only concern had been the reviews on steering, so I tested roads, city and highway driving. People need to understand its a new technology, electronic, and all modes are sensitive to roads and conditions, and each wheel is sensitive to dry, wet, rocky pavement. Love it, I feel secure!
