OK but overpriced
Going from a 2023 Santa Fe exposes the deficiencies of a smaller car. The fact that my monthly payment is $100+ more than the Santa Fe adds insult to injury.
Upon checking the oil I found that the hood has to be propped up with the plastic bar instead of simply lifting it and going about your business. I wonder how many
women or anyone with an arthritic condition would rate lifting that heavy hood, with one hand, to the necessary height to prop it up.
Also, I cannot simply tap the back gate closing button from inside the vehicle, and have it close. I have to hold it in until the gate closes. And , how about this? If I leave the fob in the house, the car is in the driveway, unlocked, I cannot lock the vehicle until I go inside and get the fob. It will not lock unless I have the fob. These are things I have never experienced in any vehicle I have owned over the last 20 years. My '23 Santa Fe was as nice a vehicle as we had ever owned. It was as nice as our '23 Cadillac XT5. This vehicle does not come close to the Santa Fe. Deficient engineering. I sung the praises of the Santa Fe to anyone who asked. Not so with the Tucson. It's just not worth the money.
