Love my Santa Fe

Very pleased with the performance of this vehicle.Love the interior. The heated seats work very well. The gas mileage has been just what they said it would be or better. I have previously owned Jeep Grand Cherokees (since 1984) and this was my first time buying a Hyundai. I had heard they were very reliable cars and the warranty was great. I think the next car I purchase will be a Hyundai.

Love it

I first bought a 2000 Elantra, brand new loved it then I bought a new 2007 Veri Cruz. I was nice, loved the drivers seat but it was too big I was never comfortable driving it. In 2012 I traded it in on the Santa Fe. Fell in love with it on the drive to Calif. it has been my pal, my buddy ever since. Never had any problems with it for the first 135,000+ miles. If I was to buy another new vehicle I would definitely buy another Santa Fe, but I want to retire next year at 89 years young and do not want another car payment. I have driven a few rentals recently and none of them compare to my Santa Fe for comfort, get up and go power or the drive feel!!!

138000 miles

This has been the best car my wife and I have bought. So far all we have done is changed the oil regularly and tires and one set of brakes. This to me is normal service. I am hoping to get another 100000 miles out of this car or by another one

love my car--dependability, space, features

I love my Santa Fe and love driving it too. I like free check-ups and cleaning for each servicing. So far I have had no problems after buying it in 2012. It has served me well and I am still happy as a lark driving it.

Very Pleased With My Santa Fe

Purchased this car new. It is great for me! Right size for errands around town but also great on road trips. Plenty of power on take-off and on the highway. I looked at several different SUV's before purchasing this car, i.e., GM & VW. When I drove my Santa Fe I knew it was the one!

What a great car.

I purchased my used Santa Fe four years ago with 63,000 miles. I have 135,000 miles on it now. I have it serviced as recommended by the dealership and use synthetic oil. So far, it's be amazing. No additional work done other than normal wear and tear. I purchased it after paying cash for an older Sonata a few years before. That car was terrific and that's why I went to Hyundai when it was time to purchase a new car. Take care of your Hyundai and it will take care of you.

Best vehicle I've owned

I bought this car new back in 2012 and it's going strong! I have to give it up to a grandson soon and will surely miss it, but plan to purchase another Santa Fe to replace it. Why give up a good thing?!

2012 Hyunadi Sante Fe

I am on my 3rd Santa Fe and loved everyone of them. My current vehicle has over 120,000 miles and still runs as great as the day I drove it off the lot. This is to fill up my comments to minimum of 200 which is dumb!

Nearly 100% Satisfaction

Our Santa Fe 2012 has 182,000+ miles on it. We are very happy with the vehicle. Had some minor issues which were promptly handled. However, over the last 6 months our radio will randomly go off and on. Sometimes it will stay off for hours, but other times just gonon and off! Then there are times it is fine. Googled this problem and there are MANY people experiencing this issue! Can't say that a faulty radio would preclude me from purchasing again as the vehicle has been mechanically fine, but it does give one cause to ponder! Seems that Hyundai Corp has been of no help to people contacting them with this issue! Reportedly, new radio ranges anywhere from $1200 - $1500! This per the Google reviews! I will NOT spend that amount to fix!!!

Sante Fe Limited is as good as they come for the money.

I bought my car in 2012, and have loved it ever since. Unfortunately, it like me are both aging, and are not equal to the new 2020 Santa Fe, but until I can be a new one, I am as happy as I can be having my car back, because it is the best car I have ever owned and driven.

after 100k

This is my second Santa Fe (my first was a 2002 that was totaled). I enjoy this car and its versatility. My only real issue with this car is the location of the front seat cup holders. They should have been located in front of the drive shift lever, because with them being behind it makes for a very uncomfortable reach to get a cup.

2012 SantaFe

We purchased our Santa Fe new to replace my 12 year old Escape. Yes we hold on to cars until the repair costs out way a new purchase. As with all our cars we buy fully loaded, and the price was reasonable. After 8 years we still love it and it is a workhorse that has all the amenities. It has almost 90k on it and has not need much other than routine maintenance. Interior well designed, seats are comfy with heat and electric makes them easily adjustable on long rides. Roomy rear, big enough for luggage and two large dogs. Excellent headroom and timeless style! Excellent performance makes getting on and off highways easy. Must say great value and still love it.

I love my Sante Fe but I think my next vehicle will be a Tucson because it’s harder as I get older to get into my car and I think the Tucson is lower. The reason I chose the Sante fe is the size of the back window. With the newer vehicles they have the back up cameras which I look forward to for more safety. My biggest challenge will be not having a CD player in the newer version

I Love My Santa Fe

I was a pickup guy most of my life but when I retired I decided to get a SUV, and this is a good one. Comfort , gas mileage, quality, safety and made in USA. I can still carry some cargo, and the warranty is the best out there.

Awesome. The best car I have ever owned. I will never buy any other car but this one. Working on getting a new one in a couple of years. I would recommend it to family and friends as well. Keep up on the great work.

Awesome car.

This is one of the best card I have every owned. I had a 2007 GLS previously and loved it. This is a Limited, heated leather seats, sunroof, auto mirrors, lights, it has everything. I will probably keep this car United one of us dies.

2012 Santa Fe Limited

I’ve been following the progress of Hyundai’s and Kia’s for a number of years and finally bought this used 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe with 98,000 miles on it as a second car to drive for a while. It appeared to be well-maintained and as it turned out, it’s been the best car I’ve ever owned and I’ve over 20 cars of my 50 year driving history! This 2012 Santa Fe Limited FWD now has over 150 k miles on it and my daughter is driving it now; I wouldn’t hesitate a second to take this car on a cross country trip to anywhere. These autos are well built and the most dependable vehicles I’ve ever owned; in fact, I liked this 2012 Santa Fe, That I bought a new 2017 Santa Fe Ultimate AWD. I couldn’t be happier!

Santa Fe Limited

I am very satisfied with my 2012 Santa Fe LTD The only feature that would keep me from moving into a new Santa Fe is the Stop & Go feature. I think it’s a farce. another scam from the government forcing consumers into products that aren’t what they claim.
