Highly Satisfied With My Hyundai

My previous two vehicles were Subaru Outbacks -- a 2001 and 2012. I liked both cars, but there were some issues with the 2013 - a failed transmission at 127,000 miles, and head gasket failure at 137,000 miles. To me, reliability is a top criterion in choosing a car. The warranty and reliability record of Hyundai were important factors that led me to the brand. I chose the hybrid for the mileage and performance and I have been satisfied with the choice.

Transmission operation is intermittent. Service cannot duplicate; however, it frequently takes several attempts to get it into proper gear. Could be dangerous in a critical situation.

Consumer complaints

I have a couple of issues that are a real nuisance. 1. Locking of doors, every time my passenger or I try to get into the back seat, the door is locked. Basically I want to see a setting that allows all doors to be unlocked whenever the drivers door is unlocked. 2. The controls on the door (locks, windows) are not lite when the door is opened. I can’t see how to unlock passenger door at night. Actually I have 3 major complaints. The third may be lack of research on my part before buying vehicle. We bought this vehicle primarily for travel. I should not have bought a hybrid. I have learned driving at highway speeds in a hybrid does nothing for gas mileage. Hybrids are made for stop and go in town on low speed trips and not highway driving.

A lot of bang for the buck

Overall, we’ve been pleased with the car. For a lower trim level, we got a lot of great value. Lots of features that make it a safe family hauler for a reasonable price. We mainly went with this one because of the standard safety features that aren’t offered on competing vehicles for a lower price point. Pretty good gas mileage with the hybrid. Main con for me are the aesthetics. It’s an ugly car. Incredibly functional but ugly. It’s a minor point. I wished I had waited for the 24 model year for that. Otherwise, great car. No issues so far.

Ride is great. Needs more cup holders. Could use more space up front but otherwise have loved this vehicle.

FABULOUS VEHICLE!!!

When my husband said it was time for me to purchase a new vehicle, I really didn't want a new one. I was comfortable driving my Jeep Patriot which has been very dependable. I didn't want a bunch of new features, just wanted to stay simple. BUT, it was time because the Jeep was getting up in miles. My husband researched and thought the Santa Fe Hybrid would be a good choice. He was right. I love it and I am very happy with the extra safety features. It's comfortable, quiet and pretty decent on gas mileage.

Good Vehicle

Worth for its price and features but wonder its resale values is low when I tried to exchange car with new version of same model which came in with in 6 months in the same show room. Hybrid milage is very low on freeways even if we drive on standard speed approx. 28m/g. Local milage also fluctuates based on gas percentage in the tank. Overall good vehicle for its price. I have recommended to my friends and family. Thanks!

Overall I like it, but not sure I would buy one again

Has been a very reliable and comfortable car so far, just a few quirky things I don't enjoy (see cons). The biggest being a lack of power at times when accelerating from a stop. It doesn't happen all the time, but it feels like I can't trust it if I really need a quick burst of acceleration. Maybe because we drive in Eco-mode? The backup beeping is so obnoxiously loud, I feel like I need to apologize to my neighbors if I back into my garage late at night! Most other hybrids don't beep when backing up. Over 100 mile decrease per tank in mileage during cold weather, maybe this is average, but it seems like more.
