This car was extremely sturdy. I never had any issues with the frame or rattling, and I have driven this car almost 300,000 miles. The original stereo still functions to this day. Even after many years of commuting, the A/C system still blows very cold. I have experienced more mechanical issues as of late, which is understandable due to the age of the vehicle. I eventually had to replace the alternator and radiator in this vehicle. But I have performed relatively little maintenance over the life time of this car. The interior is very comfortable, with deep seats and much leg room in the second row. As a student, it is extremely helpful to have this vehicle. I'm able to fit the entire contents of my dorm room into the back of my car! I am also easily able to fit my bike into the back once the second row is folded down, or secure my bike to the roof.

I really like the power the new 2019 Santa Fe has, despite the fact that it's a four-cylinder vehicle. No where is this more evident than when the air conditioning is on. It still has the ability to pass! The standard features on the Santa Fe were only options on many of the other vehicles in its class I looked at. And best of all, the mileage is reported to be 18-21mpg, and I am getting way more than that (more like 25mpg) which is better than any vehicle I've ever had. Finally - I wasn't going to add this, but it is actually a question at the bottom of this survey. I named my vehicle Bruce after the shark in Finding Nemo. It looks just like a shark.
