Great Vehicle
We looked seriously (2 or more visits and extended test drives of 2+ hours) at the following SUVs:
Edge, Highlander, Murano, Outback, Ascent, MDX, CX-5, CX-9
We choose the Santa Fe Ultimate based on seat comfort, overall ride, driver assistance features, price and warranty. The MDX seats were more comfortable but too expensive. The others all were not quite as comfortable for us as the Hyundai. I confess that when I made my initial list of potential vehicles when I added the Santa Fe Ultimate, I privately did not think it would make the cut, based on a preconceived impression of Hyundai. We have had it for a month and 1245 miles and no regrets at this point. I really like driving the vehicle. My one negative comment is that the throttle response when transitioning deceleration to acceleration, there is a slight hesitation and then a little too much response.
