Anonymous, IL (2010 Hyundai Santa Fe)"There is s distinct blind spot when trying to back up or look to the back when driving--this may be styling, but if affects my driving experience"
SUE D., PA (2010 Hyundai Santa Fe)"We have had repeated problems with the transmission and took it to the dealer a number of times. They have reset the adaptive control numerous times but that has not resolved the issue. We have learned to live with the issue."
Anonymous, GA (2010 Hyundai Santa Fe)"handles well for an SUV its size; drives as a car - like SUV or CUV"
BOB D., ON (2010 Hyundai Santa Fe)"4 cylinders do not do this car justice. It's too big, and would be better of with 6 cylinders."
Anonymous, NY (2010 Hyundai Santa Fe)"The Hyundai has a robust ability to accelerate for passing or for getting onto freeways. It has the tightest and best turning radius of any car I have ever owned including our Lexus."
MICHAEL E., NC (2010 Hyundai Santa Fe)"Excellent acceleration requiring little throttle. Good torque even at low RPM. Handling - excessive sway at high speed around tight corners."
JOHN S., ON (2010 Hyundai Santa Fe)"Sometimes transmission slips and jerks from lowest gear, dealer unable to diagnose."
NEIL H., MD (2010 Hyundai Santa Fe)"The 4 cylinder engine is economical but there's no real acceleration. The front wheel drive is quite torquey; the wheels slip easily and are alarming on a wet road."
CLAYTON F., OH (2010 Hyundai Santa Fe)
"Great car for road trips. It stays on track easily, and has plenty of power to accelerate and climb hills. I can drive it comfortably for many hours."
