Reliable vehicle

Excellent power train (V6). Great storage capacity. Minimal maintenance over the past 11 years. Did recently have to replace the transmission oil temp sensor, (just out of 10 year tranny warranty); working great again.

Comfortable & spacious

Enjoy heated seats living in Wisconsin's cold climate. Seat and seatback easy to adjust. Seatbelt adjustment is great for a 65" tall female. Nice back door width and height for tv's and furniture. Purchased used in 2013.

Great all around vehicle

Great all around vehicle! SAFETY! Our 2nd Santa Fe. Previous, a 2003, was totaled in a head-on crash. Reliable, better than average quality, mileage averages 23 mpg. Luggage rack rails: I wish that they slotted yo facilitate tie-down. Rear seats: I wish they folded down flat to the package area floor to facilitate loading.

Love My Hyundai Santa Fe

Bought our car at 5 years old with 35,000 miles. It has been a wonderfully reliable vehicle. I always wanted a Santa Fe and was very happy when we found exactly what we were looking for. We hope to have it for a long time.

Maintain it properly and you'll go years and miles ahead of their competition.

Always maintain my car oil changes brakes tires always had hoses and belts checked, air filter, cabin filter, fluids. No major repairs ever needed, I was blessed. Would buy another Sante Fe or larger SUV when Hyundai makes one.

Good choice

I don’t know how others are doing. With theirs but my 2011 limited was a good choice Although I didn’t do all the driving it has 170,000 miles on it and runs like new ! There are cosmetic problems caused by vehicle being stolen and beat up until I got it back I’m going to hsve thjngs fixed and continue to se how far zi csb go .

Great SUV

I absolutely love my SUV. This is the third one I have purchased. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone. Since I have dogs, this is a great vehicle for them. I also have a handicapped lift on the back of my car which allows me to carry my scooter. This size vehicle meets my needs.

Almost There

I have one pet peeve with my Santa Fe. The second row Passenger Dome light is not connected to a diffuser and will not go off, like other lights do, when vehicle is turned off.. So if you accidentally hit the switch in the driver overhead cluster, the light stays on and the battery eventually goes dead. Has happened to me more than once. My only cure was to remove the bulb.Doesn't seem like a big deal to include this light in a diffuser curcuit and have it go off when vehicle is turned off.

2011 Hyundai Santa Fe

Excellent Vehicle after 53K miles. 1 Significant problem. Remote Start blows a fuse if heat set to high. This issue occurred 1 month after I picked up out of showroom. Took back to dealer twice. Explanation was the circuit for remote start heater draws to much current when heater is in high setting. Remote start works but heater does not come on until you put in the key and turn on. Dealer had no fix and told me not to leave heater switch in high position, of I do fuse will continue to blow. Tries 3 different can't to get this fixed with no results. Very Frustrating for after paying 20+ for new Vehicle. Unfortunate Hyundai can't or won't come up with a fix as its a great vehicle, nut not sure I would purchase another, if they fix design flaws.

Love my car!

My 2011 Sante Fe has about 65,000 miles on it at present and I love to drive it. It is well-thought-out as far as where the controls are located and is roomy and comfortable for a family of five to travel with luggage. The back has plenty of cargo space without sacrificing leg room in the front. It has a tight turning circle and is easy to turn around. My only criticism is that there are blind spots on either side of the front window and on either side when trying to look out the back side windows. The head rests are difficult to see around when looking back as well and tilt slightly too far forward to allow for sitting completely straight up on long trips. All in all, though, as far as drive-ability and flexibility, I really like it and would buy it again.

PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED REGARDING WARRANTY ITEMS AND POOR QUALITY OF PARTS INCLUDING WIPERS AND CLOGGED WINDOW WASHER FLUID LINE SINCE NEW. HAVE NOT HAD SUCH BASIC PROBLEMS IN ANY OF MY PREVIOUS VEHICLES. DEALERSHIP UNABLE TO RECTIFY EITHER. HER WASHER

MY ISSUE IS WITH THE SERVICE WARRANTY AND I THINK THE INITIAL WRITER SHOULD HAVE INVESTIGATED HYUNDAI'S LETTER RE THIS SPECIFIC DRIVE TRAIN RELATED ISSUE AND CONTACTED MANUFACTURER (IF NECESSARY) TO ENSURE COVERAGE BY HYUNDAI OF EXPENSE AS "RECALL" ISSUE OR WARRANTY SHOULD HAVE COVERED THE SERVICE. CONCERNED ABOUT HYUNDAI HAVING PROBLEMS AFTER ONLY 4 YEARS OF USE. WHAT ELSE DO I HAVE TO LOOK FORWARD TO FALLING APART THAT IS NOT COVERED? WAS THIS A GOOD VEHICLE CHOICE OR SHOULD I HAVE GONE TO TOYOTA?

2011 SantaFe SE V6

With the exception of road noise the SantaFe is an absolute used SUV best buy. You will be hard pressed to find an SUV with the same features for anywhere near the price. Hyundai service is absolutely awesome.

Surprisingly good little SUV.

This is not a replacement for the Chevy Suburban I was driving, but then it is not designed to be. For it's design purpose this is an excellent little SUV. It feels solid on the road in all weather. handles and corners well. The little 4 cylinder engine has plenty of pep and does not seem bothered when I stuff the cargo space with everything my college son owns. The extra bonus storage space under the cargo floor is great. A standard roof rack would be helpful. Seriously, how much could that cost to include? I bought the vehicle with 45,000 miles on it hoping it will go another 100,000. I am totally convinced from what I am seeing in maintenance issues (oil changes and tire rotations only), I will get that and more. This car/truck is showing me the kind of reliability I have gotten used to in my Hondas and Toyotas.

My 2011 Santa Fe Hyundai

I love my Santa Fe. However, there has been an ongoing problem with the check engine light. I am concerned by the fact it seems there is no solution to the problem. Holding my breathe that this time it is fixed.

A highly reliable mid size SUV

Even though I listed several shortcomings all of those have been addressed in the new 2017 Santa Fe. The excellent reliability, great fuel economy and a superior dealer experience with our 2011 Santa Fe led me to test drive the 2017 Santa Fe. Our 2011 Santa Fe was a great mid size SUV and based on that experience we ultimately traded for the 2017 Santa Fe. Every issue was addressed and substantial improvements and features were added making the 2017 an excellent mid size SUV. If safety features are a major concern I would encourage anyone to consider the 2017 Santa Fe Limited.
