Great car for the money - 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe
By em_libra62 - October 9 - 7:41 pmI have had this car for three months. So far, it has been great. Fun to drive, easy to handle. I have the V6, felt the 4 was short on power during the test drive. Avg 22mpg in the city, around 30 on the hwy. One of the features of this car which they dont push is its short turn radius. I can whip it around like a compact and have gotten some parking places that amaze my riders.

Very satisfied with this SUV - 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe
By vlasi - January 5 - 6:48 amWe bought this suv new over two years ago. We absolutely love it. We have not had a single problem with it. Other than the seats being a little hard for me I cant think of a single thing I would like to change. Smooth riding, good acceleration and very good gas mileage.

Gas Mileage - 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe
By ccr717 - September 19 - 8:04 pmJust purchased a 2012 Santa Fe two weeks ago. This is my fourth Santa Fe but this time I bought a 4 cylinder instead of a 6 thinking it would save a little more on gas mileage. Love everything about the vehicle but the gas mileage. Im getting less with this one than my previous 2008 Santa Fe. I was told I would get a couple more miles per gallon but didnt expect to get less. It didnt benefit me like I thought it would to get the 4 cylinder. Wouldnt recommend a 4 cylinder over a 6 to anyone.

Hyundai, the new peoples car - 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe
By Mike - October 11 - 2:03 amI drove my 2012 Hyundai 6cyl SE for 3.5 years and 90,000 miles. No glitches. I changed from Subaru when my 13th displayed multiple flaws in quality, reliability and design. Hyundai is what Subaru used to be but with better styling. Its affordable, reliable and fun to drive. I recently traded it in on a 2016 Santa Fe 6 seat with 6cyl. and am pleased with the evolution to the new design.

Best Car for the Money! - 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe
By scot58 - July 31 - 7:11 pmI recently purchased a Santa Fe Limited AWD in Black Forest Green with the beige leather interior. It looks and runs like a dream. I considered the Toyota Highlander Limited and the Murano SL with leather, but those cars cost several thousand dollars more, get worse gas mileage, and the Santa Fe is their equal, if not better, in every way-- looks, ride, handling, etc. With the V6 it has excellent acceleration, and the electronics-- Bluetooth, satellite radio, HomeLink, etc. all work flawlessly. I have been waiting for something to rattle, break or go wrong, but the car is absolutely solid. I am very pleased with my purchase, and strongly recommend the Santa Fe.

The Santa Fe SE is a nice vehicle - 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe
By coldrink - June 4 - 4:09 amI have had a 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe SE for about six months. So far, I am very pleased with it. It is comfotable and fun to drive. It has the 3.5L 6 cylinder engine and it runs good. It is swift. It has lots of pep and that is important to me. On the one short road trip it has been on, it got about 24 mpg. In town it gets between 18 and 20 mpg. It is a very nice vehicle. I would recommend the Santa Fe it to anyone, but I would want the 3.5L engine.
