Good in Every Way
I have had the Santa Fe 2.4 AWD for about a year now and I can say that I love the car. Growing up my dad had a 2005 Santa Fe for 10 years with little trouble so, since I liked the design of the new one, I decided that I would give it a try. 12K miles later I have only had a state inspection and a software recall fix. The features are plentiful on the Santa Fe and everything works as you’d expect. I love the blind spot warning, real cross-traffic alert and all of the stores do space the car has. I wish the Santa Fe day up a bit higher but it is a comfortable car to drive on a daily basis. On the highway, I typically get around 28 mpg however around town, the car usually shows 11-18 mpg which is abysmal for this class of vehicle. The car badly needs a 2.0T as the base engine and the addition of a V6 engine. Overall though, I am very glad that I chose the Santa Fe and depending on the looks of the next generation, I will likely replace my current Santa Fe with another Santa Fe.
