  Great car WHEN IT RUNS - 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By sleepydiva - May 10 - 7:29 am

  Brand New and runs with the reliability of a 1989. I have had at least 6 instances in which my new Santa Fe would not start. If it did it would stall immediately. (Its an automatic). In the last case it had to be towed and I am currently driving a rental (again). Clearly at this point... NOT RELIABLE.

  Were happy with it so far.... - 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By dan90638 - May 6 - 5:37 pm

  We put on about 1500 miles on it so far. Great interior and exterior design. Its very quiet, more so than the CRV and RAV4. Its very comfortable and smooth. There are blind spots, but if you pay attention and add a blind spot mirror (and actually turn your head to look like youre suppose to), then its not that bad. MPG is 18-22, 27-31 in the highway, with a 24 avg, depending on the condition. Had to replace the gas tank due to a melted hose,w which caused the gas pump to shut off thinking its full, but no problem since. Overall, were happy and satisfied with the car, but the long term eval is still to be determined.

  Second Hyundai (first was 1986) - 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By aaidi - March 21 - 5:47 pm

  I come from a family very loyal to Toyotas and Hondas, but even I have to agree that today the South Koreans easily win on styling and features, and are barely a notch below the two Japanese heavyweights in terms of reliability. I purchased my Santa Fe 2.0T FWD about a month ago after extensive research. Very pleased with the purchase overall. Cant beat the value and it is true that this thing looks, feels, and drives like a European car. No surprise -- the chief design engineer was hired away from BMW and formerly designed the X5. I do mostly city driving on it and still have my second car, but so far so good. Gas mileage at 20mpg is terrible considering I dont drive aggressively.

  Rear Heater Vents Blow Cold Air Only - 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By mholder37 - January 27 - 5:03 pm

  My hubby bought this car in October. Overall we like it, but there have already been some issues. It took two visits to repair the driver in-seat heaters (finally they put in a new heating unit). After two visits the rear vents still dont work. Once or twice weve got them to blow mildly warm air but it couldnt be called heat - and we live in Minnesota. The backseat passengers feet freeze. And, finally, the radio display locks up while playing from an iPod. I am planning on purchasing a car for myself soon - and the lack of warmth in the back of the vehicle is a deal breaker for me.
