Good but Not Great
I couldn't wait for the newly designed Santa Fe to come out. It's great looking, but it has issues... So far I've had recalls for a transmission update, and several others, At 10K miles the rotors were warped, and not covered under warranty, so I was forced t pay for it. I still have 2 BS recalls on the car now, and I have to schedule and waste half a day over those. The 21" wheels are great looking but impractical. I've had 2 tires cut down because of potholes. The interior is beautiful and luxurious, but the controls suck. You have to take your eyes off the road to make any adjustments. Please bring back knobs. Managing the car systems via the screen is excruciatingly difficult and confusing. And most of all, the turbo inline 4 is anemic... We came from a V6 Pallisade, an in comparison, the Santa Fe has no guts, no torque until the turbo spools up. Wish I had bought a hybrid that could have helped with off the line acceleration when needed. Not sure, at this point, if I would buy another one....
