  From like to LOVE in a month :) - 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By kandeemann2001 - March 14 - 8:22 pm

  Absolutely LOVE this SUV! Got a black Limited w/black leather. Traded up from an 06 GLS and couldnt be happier. Cannot understand for the life of me why people are comparing this to the cheap-looking Rav4 and CR-V. Parked next to a black 11 Highlander Limited yesterday and got LOTS of looks and attention! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the black leather and the new woodgrain trim is absolutely stunning. The cabin is plush and luxurious. Navigation works great and 12-speaker sound system is PHENOMENAL. The new V6 will plant you into your seatback if you push it, but weve got light feet :) Very roomy, lots of storage, and perfect size...not too big and not too small. Its perfect :)

  Great buy ! - 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By murph20 - November 19 - 4:23 pm

  This was a great buy for the money.Lots of extras included in the base price and other options available at reasonable markup. With the V6 putting out 276 hp it has excellent acceleration and handles reasonably well. More than ample cargo space , attractive interior[love the blue lights] and one of the worlds best warranties makes this a great choice of a mid size SUV. Oh did I mention the price ??? But to be fair I have mention that it does not have the smoothest ride. All in all I have to say that I love this Vehicle for the price.

  Great CUV, great value - 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By sir_timbit - January 29 - 6:57 pm

  We were cross-shopping a Santa Fe against a Toyota Rav-4. Just bought a Santa Fe base model, FWD, V6. Considering the price and standard features, plus longer warranty, the Santa Fe has so much more going for it. The base model we have has a V6 with plenty of grunt, yet reasonable fuel economy, standard Bluetooth, heated seats (were in Canada), USB iPod hookup and a good stereo to match. Huge amount of storage in the back, nice hidden storage underneath too. Lots of standard features. The rear hatch swings up instead of to the side like on the Rav. Excellent visibility all around, unlike a lot of competitors with their tiny windows. No wonder they push rear view cameras!

  Great performance SUV for a low buck - 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By KSS - March 30 - 2:00 am

  It took one test drive in the Santa Fe SE to seal the deal for me. I am 64" and this car has enough room for five of me. It drives and handles like a truck; if youre into sharp handling this may not be for you. It handles bumps and rough terrain really well, and is loaded with power options, bluetooth, and other neat accessories. On my model there is a beautiful wood trim lining that accents the interior, and the paint is sharp and glossy. On the freeway, the shifting is smooth, the kick down with the V6 gets you to a quick 80-90 mph boost in no time, and braking is a breeze.

  Love this SUV - 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By mikea11414 - July 15 - 7:58 pm

  While I agree the car is a little noisy over bad roads everything else so far is great. Its alot of fun to drive. Has the get up and go when you hit the gas, even better than my previous 09 murano. Great view of the road too which my wife loves.

  Wanna know about the new 2011 Santa Fe?? - 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By misterbill2 - March 25 - 6:01 am

  Got the vehicle on Thanksgiving. Had a 2005 CRV, traded it in. The Santa Fe SE is a better SUV. I have been an industrial mechanic and Honda owner for 35 years. Hyundai won me over. I got the SE 3.5 version. As hard as I could try the only thing I didnt like was the harsher ride than the Honda, but more quiet inside. It feels a little more sporty, on smooth roads, but all in all I dont think you can go wrong. This car is well built, and designed, the engine had plenty of power if you put the pedal to the metal (its too new to do it too often) it is truly a little pocket rocket, pulls some Gs! Considering the warranties and Consumers Reports rating its better than Toyota or Honda overall!

  I really like my Santa Fe - 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By maine_cpa - February 25 - 2:44 pm

  I bought the "bait and switch" car from the newspaper ad, so I think I got a very good price. Its stripped down, 4 cylinder, front wheel drive, but has the bluetooth, ipod connector, hands-free phone, and radio controls on the steering wheel. today, its 1 year old, 10,000 miles. Mileage is about 22 in the city but rises to 26+ on the highway if I keep to 65 and use the "manual" feature of the automatic transmission to force it to stay in 6th gear. I also drive conservatively in general. It will get up and go if you ask it to, but mpgs will suffer.

  Much better value than X-3 at 52K - 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By bobnoxious1 - January 24 - 7:49 am

  Bought the Limited with every option, navigation, tow package great stereo etc.. Tested SUVs from every maker from Honda, Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Acura, Subaru etc.. and compared all makers with the features they offered compared to the final price they charged. I found the Hyundai Limited offered the same options as BMW X-3 and the mercedes. One difference was the Hyundai had more power, more legroom and was $23K less out the door than the other two for the same options. But some people just have to have that name on the front. The stereo was fantastic and we ended up subscribing to XM satalite too. The I-pod hook up and phone sync were better than beemers too.

  I really like the car. - 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By mikea11414 - June 1 - 3:52 pm

  I only have 300 miles on it but love the looks and driving view. The ride is nice but it is noisy over rough roads and you do feel the tight suspension. I had a 09 murano and the ride was softer. Very easy to work the nav and other functions blue light is nice. Put your foot on the gas and you go zoom. My wife loves the view over the hood when she drives it. Except for the noise everything seems great so far. I actually like the firmer ride as I feel more in control. Wind noise was terrible in the murano but is much better in the SF. So far we really like this car andr . If you can spring for the extra few bucks go for the limited it has some nice added touches.
