I LOVE MY SANTE FE

I really love this vehicle! It has had some repair work needed over the years, but it was covered by the warranty, and later the extended warranty. It runs wonderfully and is the perfect size. I really can't be more pleased with it.

A good buy. Hey

Performance is good. Just a little noisy and suspension not very comfortable. For the price, it’s a good buy. Bought it in November 2011. Over all I’m satisfied with performance. Had one setback with power steering and ball joints. Other than that, just normal maintenance.

Vehicle Mostly Trouble-free

This vehicle has been trouble-free, except for suspension/tire wear issues. Although the vehicle gets relatively light use and good maintenance, I have gone through four sets of tires in eight years and 60,000 miles. Obviously, this has been a major expense and an ongoing frustration for me.

great car

good used vehicle, new to me even though the years would lead you towards an older car, I just find it being broken in still, looks good for an older model would pass for brand new if looking at it from a distance

Great SUV

My 2012 Santa Fe has been reliable right up to getting a notice for an open recal of a potential problem with a connecting rod bearing. I hope they resolve the recall soon. I'd like to trade up but the open recall hurts my trade in value.

Santa Fe

I really like my Santa Fe. The responsiveness of my vehicle is fantastic. I was with my son on 470 when a person in another car decided to pull into my lane I stepped on the gas and was able to move into the other lane avoiding a wreck. My Santa Fe is comfortable and I just enjoy driving the car as much as i dislike driving due to the idiots on the highway. I just like the car period. I honestly believe I can get 200,000 miles out of the car as long as I maintain it properly.

Excellent car

I bought the car from JP’s Auto sales in Pawley’s Island and have been very pleased with it. It drives well and is reasonably comfortable for long trips which I often have to make to do my job. The leather seats are a plus. It has a large amount of hidden storage which allows me to carry almost everything i used to carry in my previous vehicle’s (a pickup truck) tool box. It has an extremely tight turning radius which I appreciate as I park on the street in a residential neighborhood, and I can turn completely around without having to do a “Y” turn. It gets about 22 mpg which is not as much as I would like, but is notably better than my pickup. The AC is great and is split for the comfort of the driver and passenger.

2012 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited

I take great pride in owning my 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe while spending time keeping it appear to be in excellent condition on the outside as well as the mechanical side. In my estimation, the 2011 and 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited are two of the best SUV'S that Hyundai has produced. Salesperson Kelly Sullivan alerted me when the vehicle came in as a trade-in and I came to the dealership and bought the vehicle. I had bought a new 2011 Santa Fe Limited from the dealerhsip in 2010 and was highly satisfied with the SUV. The 2012 Santa Fe Limited is identical to the 2011.. Owning two Santa Fe Limited SUV's is fantastic due to the quality of both. The 2011 just turned 50,000 miles while the 2012 has 28, 100 miles. Both vehicles look like they are new showing 9.5 out of a 10 for an exceptional score.

Great SUV

I have had my Hyundai, all wheel drive-very important for up north, for a couple of years now and can tell you it is a reliable SUV, giving you great traction in the winter, in snow and ice. I have snow and ice tires, and summer tires which does help a lot. Haven't had to replace anything major yet, except for brakes and rotors, which I purchase on my own to get a better grade rotor and brakes. Great Vehicle, reliable, and great gas milage, 4cyl,

Love my Sante Fe

This is the most comfortable vehicle I have ever owned. I have arthritis in my neck and back and I ride without pain. Very nice change from other vehicles I have owned.

It is a great car!

Comfortable ride, even with our deplorable streets; visibility excellent. Is dependable - the AWD is a must in our area; a good car.

2012 Hyundai Santa Fe

This is my second Santa Fe, it replaced a 2009 Santa Fe that I had previously purchased from another dealer. I purchased my vehicle Certified PreOwned because the 2013 models came out with a design change and I really liked the former design. I love my Santa Fe! It is easy to handle, easy on gas, comfortable to ride in/pack for vacations. I plan to drive it "till the wheels fall off!" I would highly recommend it to anyone (and I do to anyone that listens) looking for a mid sized SUV. It has all the amenities of the luxury models but, not the cost! It is my hope that Hyundai will reconsider the body style change and redesign a future Santa Fe more like the 2012's and older by the time I'm ready to replace mine!

Love my Santa Fe

I bought my first Santa Fe years ago and enjoyed it for ten years. I traded it for a new one two years ago. When you find the vehicle that is the right fit for you, for all your needs and more, you stay with it.
