2006 Hyundai Santa Fe - Great Little SUV
This is a excellent little SUV, It handles well on the road there is no shaking or vibration when I take it to a high speed. I have driven it at a high speed of 85 plus and I did not detect any rattles or noises for it. I have driven this truck for two years and about 30 miles per year. I had to get some minor repairs but it was mostly wear and tar.
When I first got the vehicle I had some problems with the head lights going out and once or twice with the brake lights. The electrical system is somewhat off the clock and airbag light do not work a 100 percent but I can live with it. This SUV seating sets high up and is comfortable but it is not enough room for long leg passenger's. It also has a middle seat belt that comes from the top rear of the vehicle that is a little awkward I don'... (more)
Historia
Driving the Suv was a joy going to DC from Virginia Beach. I held it's own on the road, it kept up well too high speed traffic in steady driving and stop and go traffic. I did very good in changing lanes and accelerating properly. We had no problems at all and it was smooth sailing.
A Favor
The span of it the width that is a perfect balance. The performance and the style of it.
En Contra
The overhead middle seat belt.
2013 Hyundai Santa Fe - Santa Fe Sport = Great Purchase
My 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport is a great CUV. I do small projects with furniture and crafts, and the hatch and rear area are a great size for transporting small projects and supplies. I've owned the car for nearly two years with no problems and a high level of satisfaction.
Historia
The most fun memories I have in my car at this point are small road trips around the East Texas area. We live in a rural area that requires us to travel any time we want to go to the city. The car is zippy and maneuvers easily in both environments!
A Favor
Although it does have a small engine, it has held up well. We even took it from east Texas to upstate Colorado in January, and it handled nicely going up the mountain. It wasn't sluggish like I figured it would be. There was some slipping on the ice, but that was expected because the tires on the car weren't designed for that terrain. The pilot's seat is very comfortable, and long distances in the cabin are no problem. Four adults fit very comfortably in the vehicle plus luggage in the rear.
En Contra
The only cons for me are the radio and a blind spot. The USB port doesn't support my Android phone (a Note 4) and will not connect to it as a music device. This may also be user error, but it is easily solved with a 3.5 Mm jack with very little distortion. Additionally, there is a blind spot in the rear of the vehicle because of the body lines between the back windows. This may be easily solved if the seat position can be manipulated. It isn't as bad as some vehicles that I've drive, but it is something to consider.
2008 Hyundai Santa Fe - Not the best
The car drove ok. It was a little too small. It ended up having problems that were supposedly specific to Santa Fe's. It was like a big disappointment in the end. The car served its purpose. The features were OK for a 2008 model. I liked that it sat up high but not too high. I didn't have to climb into the car, nor did I have to squat to get in. The steering wheel was adjustable which came in handy. It had power seats on the driver which was nice, because I was able to pump my seat up to a higher position to see better, and then I could also tilt it forward to reach the pedals. With the adjusting steering wheel, I was able to sit quite comfortably. The radio kind of sucked, and there was nowhere to out an auxiliary cord. It was the worst for music. The trunk space was decent. The rear... (more)
Historia
it was the first car my mate and I bought together. We were able to use it to make money. We took a lot of adventures in that car.
A Favor
Seat adjustments was nice. That was my favorite feature.
En Contra
The tan interior and the problems with engine and suspension.
