  Great Value and Drive too - 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By Robert - March 1 - 10:00 am

  Purchased my silver blue pearl Santa Fe SE in June. My initial ride home over 100 miles was a delight, beautiful ride vehicle felt right in my hands. I have 2000 miles on it now and its still as advertised. My avg fuel mileage is 24.7 and there is a wonderful feeling knowing it has plenty of power with the V6. Mine has the premium package really enjoy the XM and all the other features. No complaints or issues with this vehicle.

  A lot of SUV for the money; very happy! - 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By JH675 - January 3 - 11:56 pm

  I came from a 2008 Mariner Premier, this SUV is superior in every way. Smooth ride, quiet, and very comfortable and the included amenities are unbelievable for the price; avg mpg, outside temp, steering wheel radio controls, blue tooth, wood grain trim, storage everywhere. These seats are VERY comfortable, this was the biggest surprise for me. This is also a very, very smooth transmission. At 70 mph in central FL, I am getting between 23.5 to 24 mpg on a brand new engine...but that is also what I get in city driving. The vehicle is better than the 20 mpg city rating but less than the 28 mpg highway rating; Hyundai ought to address this and not use calculations. Give this SUV a look!

  In Love! - 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By coconut - January 1 - 4:53 pm

  This is my first new car in 23 years so I researched models and price for months. Had been a loyal Toyota owner (until this year) and also wanted my first SUV. Thanks to Edmunds and Truecar.com, I honed in on the Santa Fe, then used the internet to contact sev. dealers and start negotiating. Local dealer agreed to sell the only fully loaded, 2010 Ltd that he had on the lot (theyre hard to find) for a negotiated price of $27,600 and I drove off the lot completely in love with this car. Entire purchasing process was seamless and painless. As a woman, I cant stress enough the importance of using Edmunds and TrueCar to educate oneself and gain negotiating confidence and power.

  New Hyundai Owner - 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By MJ - September 17 - 2:43 am

  I traded in my 2009 Mazda 3 for the 2010 Santa Fe a few weeks ago for the increased utility. Im a sports junkie and needed the cargo space of an SUV for all my sports equipment. I researched and/or drove the Rav4, CRV, Tucson, and several others, but fell in love with the Santa Fe when the minute I started driving it. Ive never owned a Hyundai before, but I am thoroughly impressed with their build quality, interior design, and performance. The lengthy warranty is great, as I plan to drive the Santa Fe at least 10 yrs and I put on about 17,500 miles/yr commuting to work. I especially appreciate the very comfy heated leather seats, which makes my commute a joy, along w/ the awesome stereo!

  Its a keeper! - 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By josh33172 - August 22 - 4:22 am

  So far I am very satisfied with my Santa Fe. It has been very smooth, quiet and efficient (as long as I am not mashing on the gas) and my current peak was 27.2mph. I average about 23 combined which is what I expected and is decent for AWD, the heat in S. Florida, and traffic. The ride height and visability are very helpful for observing the road. The turning radius is excellent! The AWD system really helps when its wet. I have no experience in the snow currently living in Miami, Fl, but bought this with the intentions of moving to D.C.

  Good buy - 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By Homerlly - December 1 - 1:03 am

  The Santa Fe is a very pleasant SUV. After owning a Honda Pilot for 3 years, I found the SF to be a worthwhile transport. It does ride more like a real SUV as where the Pilot was more like a car. I believe the 18" tires have a lot to do with this. The ffit and finish of the SF is now up to Honda standards in every way and at a much fairer price($4-5K saved). I do find the ride is much better than my 09 Sonata which I traded in( it had a noisy suspension). My only complaint is the driver seat is hard to adjust to my liking though not terrible in its feel. I have to be picky to say this as the SF is a joy to drive and with the 6 engine has great road power. Believe me, try it!

  Love it! - 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By snance - August 14 - 5:10 am

  Just bought the Santa Fe and I love it! It was down to this or the CRV. I have owned Hondas for the last 25 yrs. Hyundai won! Much more luxurious feel. Drives like it is floating and excellent value!

  4 Cyl Santa Fe - 90 day Review - 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By Bft_Mike - July 22 - 9:16 am

  We purchased a 4 cyl. FWD Santa Fe Ltd in late March and waited to drive it awhile before posting a review. We were looking for a mid-sized SUV to drive north each summer with kayaks and bikes. The SF had more room and comfort than the CR-V or RAV-4 for about the same price. This is our first Hyundai. This Santa Fe model is a very comfortable car with adequate acceleration but does require the driver to plan ahead a bit when passing or pulling out into traffic. Mileage in small town/rural driving has been in the mid-20s so far. We are still concerned about what we have heard are owner experiences with the warranty - but so far we are very pleased with our purchase.
