I was already familiar with Hyundai Santa Fes. I think Hyundai offers more for the money compared to other models...at least for now. Until they become popular. Other comparable models are other mid-dized SUVs such as Toyota Hylander, Ford Explorer, Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Equinox, Subaru Forester, Nissan Pathfinder, Honda Passport, Honda CR-V.... For me, I do not care about the gadgets and exxtra, I only care about reliability and getting the best used car value for the money. So the Santa Fe is more than I need. If I was driving around the city I would look at the Santa Fe Sport. For a general mid-range the Santa Fe SE. For a little more style and comfort thecSanta Fe Ultimate Limited

Two days before thanksgiving my fiancée and I hydroplaned and ended up flipping twice. We landed on our wheels and the car was still running, no gas or oil smell, and we both walked away with scratches, bruises, a good case of whiplash, and old injuries that were aggravated. The roof had been pushed in to touch my head and the door airbags deployed but it was still technically fixable, and we were safe. I absolutely plan on staying with the Santa Fe for as long as I’m able.

This is an excellent choice for me. It had all the features I wanted and it was the best value when compared to the Acura MDX or the Mazda CX9 which were the only other mid size crossovers with a third row seat. Most other vehicles were larger and didnt have a smooth ride. We ended up buying a Toyota Highlander because the seats in the Santa Fe were too narrow for my husband.

It is handsome, reliable and has many luxurious features without luxurious price.

Beautiful car. Quiet & a smooth ride. Love it!
