Smooth Preformance - Reliable and great for travel
We have completed long distance journeys in this car with comfort. Love the reclining back seat and storage space. Has the feel of a luxury vehicle at a fraction of the price.

Hyundai Santa Fe
We love this car, it handles great, it is a little hard on gas but not too bad. We love having more space especially with a 4 year old and another baby on the way, makes camping so much easier. The traction control also makes it so much easier to handle in the day to day weather changes here in Canada.

not impressed
Overall I purchased the 4 cyl due to a strict budget. Now I'm kicking myself for it! Under powered , horrible on gas! Lots of room for a family. Can easily fit 2 children and a baby seat in the rear seat. Horrible in the snow. If buying this go for the higher model (v6 4X4). Overall would not recommend nor purchase another hyundia I'd rather go back to honda or mazda.

No more winter
This car has been perfect for six three months. After that, winter came and everything went wrong. Heater is not really good. Even after an hour or so, it's still cold in the car and i'm not talking about defrost system. All my windows are frozen and it takes so long before I can see anything. I had several cars from competitor and I never had those kind of problems before.

is that really a safe vehicule
We rented for a long trip to see family during the holidays, we were happy to get a bigger vehicle so we could have a safer trip with our 2 year old son ( who is not used to ling rides)

We were happy with the power offered by the Sante Fe, the back isn't as big as expected I was kinda squeezed between the door and the car seat....

Biggest trouble of all, the fuel cap thing, really after we put gaz the Santa Fe, after something like 50km, we lost speed eight on the highway, we restarted the car and around 50Km again we didn't know what was wrong, no warning nothing that could help us figure out what was wrong...really this is a dangerous thing having to stop the car on the highway this is ridiculous.

Would never purchase too dangerous

Bad surprise
We rented this vehicle for a long drive with our baby. Car has a good power but couple of things bothered us so much we would never purchase such a vehicle . the wipers are below average, on the passenger side only half the window gets cleaned.

The biggest problem that compromised our security is that the gas cap, when not screwed in the proper way, makes the car loose speed, check engine light comes on and gas pedal is not responsive at all...on a dark road at night when you are not sure what the problem is, this becomes way too much to handle....we had twist it once until the click but still after tanking we had to stop on the side of the highway 4 times in a 100 km (believe me some spots were not safe at all to stop). I would never ever purchase a vehicle that behaves like that!!!!!

Comfort
I love Hyundai. I own a Sonata and a Santa Fee. I reccomend the Santa Fee for famiies with small children. I have 3 myself. the Santa Fee makes driving the teenagers and friends to parties and school activities so much easier. For family camping trips - nothing beats it. The trunk space is huge.
It even has a hidden compartment in the bottom of the trunk for extra storage.It also saved me quite a bit of money when it comes to moving furniture. I didn't have to pay a moving company to haul a new couch, washer and dryer - amoung other things. I highly reccomend it.

Surprise, surprise
What can I say. I had to rent one in Vegas for a week and was very pleasantly surprised. Nice to drive. Comfortable. I still couldn't quite get over the notion of owning a Hyundai, but it has nothing to do with the actual performance or value. Maybe one day I will buy one vs. just renting but it's clear a good commonsense choice for anyone looking for value vs. "brand".
