Hyundai Santa Fe Change Vehicle

"Excellent acceleration, Handling is crisp and precise"

"The Santa Fe has power for passing and being all wheel drive is great in snow."

"Handling is excellent! Although the engine sounds like you should be going very fast (on ramp e.g.) you are not. I would opt for the larger engine and AWD if I could do over."

"Acceleration"

"It is under powered. Acceleration not good for passing."

"very good six cylinder motor, very good brakes"

"The 6 cylinder engine has always performed well. No complaints."

"Handling for me is very good and the exceleration is ok but could be better"

"with the big V6 engine you can feel the response when you hit the accelerator."

"Handling is good but acceleration is poor."

"It is easy to merge into traffic due to great acceleration. It gives a very smooth ride with great handling in sharp turns or curves. This has been an extremely dependable car and I hope to get several more good years out of it."

"It has smooth pickup with strong acceleration when needed. That said, better fuel economy would have been nice."

"OK"

"the big V6 has plenty of pep."

"Great acceleration."

"Accelerates very quickly and handles corners fairly well. Surprising power for a 4 cyclinder"

"Stick shift makes it easy to drive up inclines and safely go down. Steering and handling are comfortable."

"Very good acceleration and responsive steering for a SUV. Comfortable ride overall."

"Easy handling."

"It has the 3.3 L engine with great pick-up.ooupled with Michelin tires."

"Handles well in snowy and icy roads."

"Suspension is harsh. It could have been more softer/floaty."

"I have the larger V6 and the acceleration is very good. handling very good and the ride is quite comfortable like a sedan. low noise level also."

"Not as good acceleration as it could be for getting into traffic."

"3.3l accelerates well. Steering is too vague for me, my wife (her main car) doesn't seem to mind"

"This vehicle handles exceptionally well. I have driven in some very strong crosswinds and, unlike previous vehicles, this one hugs the road very well. I feel very safe driving it."

"Steering too quick"

"Little bit of torque steer"

"The accelerator pedal is sensitive. Too hard pressure from a start will make car accelerate too fast, and jump with tires spinning. Need to be careful to get a smooth acceleration from a stopped position."

"The different transmission settings take some use to drive efficiently Very difficult to pass without pressing on the accelerator hard"

"The seats are just as comfortable as when they were new. Adjustments provide great driving positions."

"constant noise at front windscreen (windshield) at speed above 40 mph."

"Our Santa Fe rides great and still has room for seven, when needed. It's quieter and rides better than the same vintage BMW X3 or Ford Escape."

"noisy on acceleration, sound like it is strugling"

"Heated seats, ease of control,ie. forward backward"

"Harsh ride. Undercarriage bottoms on speed bumps, Running over a pencil feels like a broomstick."

"Would like less road noise but seats are comfortable and lumbar works very well."

"Overall I love the vehicle, driving the unit is pleasant, comfortable, good visibility, quiet,"

"heated seats, ease of control ie. moving set forward or backward"

"I had traded a Lincoln Town Car for this vehicle and was rather surprised that the comfort of the seats and the amenities in the car were very comparable to what I had at half the price."

"The noise level is quieter than comparable SUV's and the steering is superior, tighter turning radius and overall handling on city streets."

"Seats are hard and rides like a truck"

"The Santa Fe has a good all over ride. The seats have great cushion and decent support."

"Drivers seat feels like a bench, flat and stiff. I feel as if I'm going to slide out of my seat."

"very comfortable fit and the power seats with lumbar support is great."

"Driver's seat is one of the most comfortable I have ever been in and the heated seats are a plus. The back seat is a little tight though considering the overall size of the vehicle."

"Comfortable"

"Very comfortable, wide seating. After owning this vehicle for almost 10 years, it still offers a quiet ride, both engine wise & exterior traffic noise."

"Too noisy at high speeds"

"The ride on a smooth road is great; on bumps it is rather harsh; rolling over a pencil feels like a broomstick. It is very bad on speed bumps -- undercarriage bottoms out too easily -- have to creep over speed bumps."

"I have none-power seats but with more than enough manual adjustments."

"Excellent vehicle"

"Excellent seats, front and back, quiet comfortable ride, you actually feel refreshed when you arrive after a long trip"

"Leather seats are a little to hard"

"Comfortable,quiet, good engine"

"noise inside while driving"

"Outside odors come in the car, even when fan is on recirculate"

"The seats are rather short and narrow for large and tall drivers. For tall drivers, the seat back must be reclined more than normal to avoid hitting the roof with your head. The telescoping wheel could use longer extension for tall drivers. Leg room is adequate. The seat heaters work well. The car generally is quiet and rides smoothly, but it can suffer a bit more from SUV jarring on uneven roads. The dual zone climate control is effective, but I have had problems with the internal mechanisms."

"The seats are comfortable but, not as comfortable as the seat in the 2012 Tucson which support the back much better. There is a very distracting sound made by the wind if the right combination of windows are opened to a certain height."

"Good value for price, but lacked quality."

"Awesome value for money."

"Over 10 years time, very few problems and most have been covered by the 10-year 100K mile warranty. Good, reliable vehicle."

"I have had this vehicle for 10 years. It’s been a great car. Every dime I paid has been worth it."

"My next car will be a Hyundai Santa Fe... That's how I feel about the value I got for my money when I bought my current car."

"It's a roomy vehicle, easy to get in and out off, easy for parking,it was priced within our budget,with year end discounts, best new car I've every bought, normally every 3-4 yrs since 1968."

"I bought the car new in 2009 and paid 22000 and the sticker was 31000. It is worth 7000 to 8000 so the true cost to me is good for owning the car nine years. And have had very few problems and it has been very useful"

"the car operates as well at 10 years as it did at one year"

"Smooth ride but road noise a bit loud"

"Very Satisfied"

"A great value for the price paid and very low maintenance costs over the life of the vehicle. The best vehicle I've ever owned."

"Mine has been a very reliable vehicle, and has had very few mechanical problems."

"At purchase it was several thousand dollars less than the competition. Now, it's over ten-years old still has good styling and performs like-new."

"The Santa Fe was an excellent value for the money. We have had quite good luck regarding repairs / break daowns."

"Reliable and comfortable. Nice styling."

"This vehicle was approx. $10,000 less than models with comparable features and quality."

"Best vehicle I ever owned. Very robust, comfortable and reliable. I wish the newer models would've kept the same Engineering philosophy."

"Lower price vehicle gets you less comfort & less extra features (quality GPS & sound)."

"Generally, everything is great with the exception of fuel economy. Fuel economy is much worse than advertised, despite allowances for off track driving conditions."

"The style of the car was worth the value, it had a wide track (as looking from the front of the car) my husband like this very much. We were looking for a car and found the Santa Fe and will never buy a car again. Just an SUV for me. I'm (Mrs) main driver and I want to see out and not be on the ground."

"We thought that it was impossible to get such a big, reliable, nicely equiped vehicle for even close to the price we have paid for it new."

"I am pleased with this car as far as value is concerned. The car warranty is good."

"Purchased in 2010 with 21,000 miles in mint condition for less than $16,000"

"I thought for the price of the car, that I received more bells and whistles than many other similar vehicles."

"Highs are 10 air bags, quit, comfortable, interior material, sound system, looks. Lows are acceleration, and gas mileage. If they hadn't changed some of the highs in 2013 I would have bought another one instead of a highlander."

"Great SUV for the price. Nice design and features."

"that model year was very good for the consumer"

"Need better gas economy"

"I bought a demo 2008 in 2009 so I got a good price. It has been a perfect SUV. No problems! I have only bought a battery and tires in 65,000 miles plus oil changes. Best maintenance of any car I have ever owned!"

"I got the car for exactly what I wanted to pay for it"

"5 year /60,000 mile everything warranty, 10 year/100,000 mile power train warranty. Many, many options included that would have cost big bucks on American mfr. cars. Much better gas mileage than other comparable SUV's. A LOT of pep to it. Virtually problem free since I bought it new."

"The standard Warranty is good but recommend getting an extended warranty if you plan to own the car beyond the standard warranty period. Good value vehicle all around, engine/transmission performance is sub par."

"I am able to negotiate a rather steep difficult driveway in snowy and icy conditions. I can get a lot of cargo in the back."

"Car was loaded but was technically used (4,500 miles; salesperson car/loaner) so got a good deal on it (rebates, markdown)."

"Evolved styling."

"The styling is in the fashion of many new cars. Unfortunately, a safe view to the rear has been sacrificed for fashion."
