Great vehicle but engine/drivetrain is awful noisy.

We have a noise that sounds like a Honda winding out, when we accelerate, sometimes. It is not a cram it to the floor acceleration but sometimes, not all the time, when taking off normally there is a growling noise that increases to where it sounds like the HONDA next to you that is revved up far above the RPMs that are normal. I've had it back to the dealer (50 miles) 3 times, left it there for 3 days and they were unable to duplicate. I had it recorded on my iPhone a number of times but "they have to hear it themselves. The frequency of it happening is increasing so the last time I had it in, two days ago, the mechanic was able to hear it. (It's normal) I'm told. I've had 3 other Santa fes in the past, but I will never have anymore in the future. It's embarrassing!

Sante Fe

for the most part it is a very dependable vehicle, would like to have a more luxury feel, more head, leg room, more cargo space, don't ever use the 3rd row seating, seems to be a waste, and would be very tight for anyone really to use it would prefer 2nd row seating to fold down completely flat like the volvo suvs do

Mechanically sound and good road handling qualities

Although the vehicle is well made and I've not had any mechanical or trim issues with this vehicle it is price is too high compared to popular established bands. The navigation and telematics interface is sub-par and somewhat slow. Terminology used is not as "standard" as other brands. I will admit though that I've used the navigation system for two long road trips and it worked just about flawlessly, its just difficult to store and recall address points. The vehicle has a surprising amount of power and will burn out the front tires if one steps on it from a dead stop. The engine is 3.4L (as compared to it competitors with 3.5 and 3.6 L engines) and weighs over 4000 pounds. On on stretch of the trip I was traveling 70 mph on a level road and actually got 30.4 mpg. Not bad considering the car was fully loaded and carrying extra weight. It handles very well and holds the road like it is glued. The ride is comfortable but the seats are a little bit too narrow for my girth. My vehicle is equipped with the ability to select three different steering modes: Comfort; Normal; and Speed. To be honest I cannot feet any difference between them. If you have owned any other newer vehicles in the last few years (I've had 5), you will get the impression that Hyundai has taken design cues and features from other popular brands and threw them together in this vehicle. That in itself is not bad, but in some instances they are just less that adequate implementations of the real thing. The one thing that I firmly dislike is the remote start implementation. It is built into the vehicle but one must use and subscribe (for a monthly fee) the Hyundia's Bluelink network. One has to pay the fee, download the app to a smart phone and use the cell phone to use it. I have three serious issues with that. One - the network is "slower than molasses in January" to start the vehicle; two - as soon as the car door is unlocked it shuts off the vehicle (to be fair my Honda did the same although my two Fords do not); third the fact I have to pay to use this feature is a non-starter for me. My Honda's and Fords were built into the remote and there was no other cost other than the basic cost of this feature which was included in the cost of the vehicle. Which brings up another topic, the price of the vehicle. When I gave my 2015 Honda Pilot to my granddaughter, I looked at buying a new 2016 Pilot. However, they had just came out on the market and dealers were not making any good deals. I choose the Hyundai as I needed something with three seating rows, reasonable on gas and more or less affordable. Since it was the end of the year model clearance the cost of the Hyundai was more realistic. But, it is still not a low cost vehicle by any means. As they say here in Texas, Hyundai is sure proud of their vehicles.

Second choice

We had a 2009 Vera Cruz and wanted a new one. Since they are no longer made we settled for the Santa Fe. We should have looked at other cars because this one has much less leg room on the outside of the leg. The car has been narrowed down too much. It didn't occur to us to double check the back seat but there are no cup holders back there. VERY inconvenient!

2015 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited Ultimate

I really like this car but it does come with problems or design flaws i should say. I hate the 19" wheels. I don't care if they look cool, these wheels and tires do impact the ride quality and noise level in the car. Unfortunately, to get some of the better options, 19" wheels become part of the package. There are too many blind spots. The head rests in the second row seating block a lot of the view out the back window. The back window posts block the view of oncoming traffic on the passenger side. it is good that this car has the blind spot indicators but they a pretty small. During day time driving they are hard to see. The windshield posts block the view when making a turn. I am not fond of the slope of the hood. It is hard to tell where the front of the car is. Like pulling into something like an 8' garage door opening. Beyond these issues, it is a sweet car to drive. It has plenty of power and the seats are comfortable.

Nice car

Car only gets 22 mpg on freeway, I guess I expected more. Lacks power for a 6 cyl engine. I bought it for the extra cargo space room. Overall, not sure it was worth the price. Won't know till I see the reliability in next 2000,000 miles or 6 years to know if I paid for value.

Mediocre Quality Vehicle

I bought this car thinking it would be as exceptional as my previous 2003 Santa Fe. I could not have been more wrong. In 2 years of driving this vehicle, I have had more warranty repairs than I did in 10 years with the 2003 Santa Fe. I don't believe it will hold up as long as the last one did (12 years, 180,000 miles). I bought this car so that I would have peace of mind with the 10 year warranty, but never imagined I would be exercising it so much.

2 Years and 15,750 miles later.....

If you have a family of 3+, this is the model to get! The SantaFe Sport, I had a 2013, 19,000+ miles at trade, is too small, too slow, and even the Turbo won't tow the 5,000 LBS., this full size, 3 row seat, 7 Passenger, V-6 will!

Want to love it...

Want to love this car. It drives well and looks great and was cheap. I got lots of extras for the price. However, the car has lots of little issues that will probably lead me not to buy another one. Lots of squeaks and rattles, headlights are terrible, defroster doesn't work, lots or road noise, needs more cup holders, brakes aren't great, etc. Each alone is pretty trivial but in total make me feel like I'm driving a hunk of junk sometimes.

Could use more attention to detail ergonomically and mechanically

This vehicle has a ton of features at a great price in comparison to the competition. It has been comfortable, convenient and a pleasure to drive on a daily basis. No rear passenger cup holders and lack of passenger seat height adjustment are annoying. Recent transmission issues and climate system issues prior to 40K miles have me questioning long term integrity.

Not as good as I expected

Nice looking vehicle with all available amenities. Problems with sliding roof, rear cup holder. Noisy cabin, feel all road bumps. A/C takes long time to cool car. Visibility issues with rear head rests. No more Hyundai’s for me.

Ok. I love the space.

It is ok. I mean I am not sure if I will be back. As I stated before customer service goes a long way . I had to come bake several times because of issues with the car and on top of that the wait was very long..

still to new for problem

I loved my car! But less than 50,000 miles, and I have an issue with what may be the transmission. No one can seem to find the problem, or acknowledge that one exists. The car is comfortable, and drives well. I would like better gas mileage, but wouldn't we all.
