Great car for the money but a few things drive us nuts...
When car shopping, we compared the Santa Fe to the Kia Telluride, VW Atlas, etc. For the sale price vs feature set, we felt the Santa Fe was the winner. We opted for the top of line model and would recommend it: bucket second row seats, sunroof, better rims, etc. The biggest drawback are some of the electronic features. such as the "keyless entry" using your smart phone instead of an actual key. it works 50 percent of the time. and then, ALL THE ALERTS! You cannot believe all the alerts - proximity, parking, etc. And heaven forbid you turn your head while driving, as you'll get a pop up coffee mug icon "Hey, time to take a break?" Ugg. Just went overboard there. Overall, we love the car, and are glad we bought it. Maintenance routine so far.
