Pretty but overpriced and poor quality
The seats do not have arm rests. The Accelerator is not positioned very well, when my foot is on the gas pedal I can't rest my heel on the floor, so my foot and leg cramps after a while. I purchased this car brand new 9 months ago and the exterior paint is already chipped in some places. When the car is in reverse, the brakes grind. When I speed up to pass a car, the engine sounds like a race car. It advertises 19 MPG city and 24 MPG highway. In city driving I am averaging 14 to 15 MPG. I previously owned a Chevy Tahoe and it got the same gas mileage as my Santa Fe and it was a V8. For the money I paid for this vehicle, I wish I would have gone ahead with another Chevrolet. I went with the Santa Fe because I do love the body style and it has the 60,000 mile warranty. When I buy a new car I like to feel like I love it so much I can't stay out of it. With the Santa Fe, I like it okay but I do not love it. I have only had it 9 months so I can't really testify to it's reliability, but so far it's good. I do love the body style, it's sporty looking for a SUV. Had I only paid about $24,000 for the vehicle then I guess I would be closer to saying I love it, but as of now I can only say it's okay.
