We got the Santa Fe once we realized that we needed more than a car for our newborn baby. It was a nice fit for our little one and the two of us. The three-seat area in the back gives enough room for the baby and someone else or other luggage. It has a nice radio that is easy for us to use while traveling and allows you to play some CDs which, although old technology, is a must for a little one. We feel very safe in this car and are never nervous when our son is in the back. It is well made, the seats are comfortable, and it drives well. It doesn't drive like a van but definitely drives better than a car. Ours has 69,000 miles and still looks brand new after numerous trips all winter long and many long vacations to the in-laws. Overall it is just a quality vehicle that is perfect for a small family.

My 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe has been more work then it's worth. It has been in the shop at least five times in the less then three years that I've owned it. The ride itself is very smooth, and I get great gas mileage. I absolutely love the color, and it has enough trunk space to hold a wheel chair, crutches and a walker. It has had many issues, and none covered under warranty. For the amount of money I spend every month on the payments, I truly expected a car with less issues.
