The Santa Fe is a stylish, comfortable car. Have had drivetrain/steering/transfer case issues all recalled by manufacturer. Exhaust system maxed out after 8 years and now requires $6000 in parts alone to repair.

The look of this vehicle is fantastic. However, the black paint has developed oxidation in the past two years.
Grey leather interior has no signs of wear after 11 years. Stays nice with little maintenance.
At the time of purchase there were limited color choices/combinations. The Black/Grey was the most attractive.
Handles like a dream. Isn't too top-heavy. Didn't experience tipping or fear of rollover.
Excellent roominess in the front bucket seats.
Multiple recall problems and issues over the years requiring days at the dealer.
ABS is sensitive and engages when not necessary. Began to fail/wear after 10 years.
Must have radio on to drown out road noise.
Limited exterior options at time of purchase.
Tires wear quickly. Have had to replace every few years.
