  "CUTE" SUV - 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By sweetpe - December 20 - 7:45 am

  The Santa Fe is a "cute" SUV, especially in Red, but its not very comfortable when it comes to seating. The front seats are hard, the seat itself is too short and the power seat is very hard to adjust to a comfortable position. Actually the passenger seat is more comfortable than the drivers seat. The ride is way too stiff. When the back seat is flipped in the down position it does not lay flat making it hard to haul flat items or even packages. They keep sliding toward the back of the vehicle.

  Bought used, driven for 4 months/5000km - 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By splatapus - October 7 - 6:27 pm

  Bought used, I have driven it for 4 months and 5000km now. Ride is a little rough, you can feel and hear some little bumps in the road. The fan and AC system sometimes has a mind of its own. It will turn on by itself after I turn it off. Although Im starting to figure out how to get around it by adjusting the fan speed then hit OFF. Driving on highway to merge and stepping on accelerator, sometimes there will be a dead spot on how far you push the accelerator. The car will hesitate or not accelerate as fast as you want to for 2 seconds, then accelerate normally. It is roomy and comfortable inside. The center armrest between driver and passenger sometimes creaks. Overall not a bad car.

  My second Santa Fe - 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By jezirabid - April 15 - 10:26 am

  My first Santa Fe was a 2011 GLS, which someone hit while hubby was driving. Santa Fe was totaled, but the husband lived to tell the story. It rolled to one side, skidding a hundred feet before crashing into a median cement block directly in front of the police department. It did its job well for a direct high speed hit to the side. Which is why I bought ... My second Santa Fe, a 2012 - well worth its weight in gold, and came with a couple new features the 11 did not have. I searched long and hard and compared economy SUVs, and for the price and warranty, you cant beat this vehicle. Even used, Hyundai happily replaced a faulty door panel without hesitation.
