Sante Fe rules

I have driven my Sante Fe for 13 years now and have had very little to go wrong. I have enjoyed the ride (on Michelin tire best), comfortable seating, compact yet roomy enough for everything. My only complaint is the fuel mileage. It isn't bad just not great. Highway mileage is the best but still less than 30 mpg and this has been from day one. Over the years fuel mileage has been consistant at 18-20 in town and 25-30 highway. For the size of the car mpg should be better, in my opinion.

My hyundai

My husband picked out my car , but it has been wonderful. The warranty is amazing. I haven't always agreed with the price, especially the 900. and some so that may effect my next decision since it will be left up to me. Thank you

Great Ride. Feels solid driving. Convenient

Very good and reliable overall. We do have an intermittent braking problem the dealer could not find even after explaining in detail , ABS engages and or hydraulics don’t braking at slow speeds 15-20 mph on wet or uneven roads. See 2004 exiter crack problem. We took in 5 times dealer not able to discover. It’s gonna take pulling exiter to find and it started happening within 1st year. If you purchase a 2005 or earlier Santa Fe make sure to have exiter ring checked for cracks. Drive it at 15.20 mph on a slope and ride brake to a stop. It usually triggers then.

alot of issues

I was hesitant to switch from my Chevy Cobalt to an SUV due to the size of the engine. I have grown attached to the comfort in space having an suv as I have many very large dogs. My Cobalt was much newer so it had little to no issues ever (except that recall on the engine switch). At first there were accelerator issues due to the spark plugs (I was told), then the windows stopped working, the sunroof got stuck open, the a/c went out, the power steering pump and line went bad and needed replaced and now I am told there is a (small) hole in the gas tank. Sigh. I don't know but that seems like too many issues for an suv that has under 150,000 miles on it and is driven less than 100 miles a month. It is 15 years old though. I am a little disappointed that the cost of all these repairs is more than TRIPLE the value of the suv.

Best of my ability

Am still getting used to the Santa Fe. In October 2020 I had a 2001 Toyota Rav 4 since Dec. 2009. A lady driving a full size p/u ran a stop sign and hit me broadside and destroyed my car. I bought the Santa Fe from a friend and am still getting it back up in the good shape my Rav was in. As time goes on I know I will get better at knowing it. It is bigger than my Rav in every way.
