Reliable, but weak paint and trim
I bought my Santa Fe new at the end of 2008. It has all the bells and whistles that were offered at the time. After a few sensor issues and a rear-end squeak recall, I had no problems until the fuel sending unit had to be replaced recently. Very spacious and user-friendly, however, the front seat is cracking, the paint is chipping and the interior armrests are wearing a bit thin. Overall, I am happy with my car, but not enough to buy it again.
