I love this car but for the price they cut a lot of corners.

Overall I love this car. I love the color and the way the paint has stayed nice and shiny. Lots of features for the driver. I love the safety features. Some safety features has saved me from having a accident. Lots of power from the engine. It is a shame that little things like no light in glove box and no button for garage door were left out.

Drives like a mid-size car.

Always wanted a little truck with a small car feel.

Should have got the turbo engine

Love the overall car, but the shifting on my 2.5 engine is annoying. The car had decent acceleration but the upper gear shifting is problematic. I get on the high way and am travelling at 65 MPH and the dang thing won't shift into 8th gear. Every time I have to put it into manual mode and force it into 8. No wonder the milage rating is only 25ish mpg...its because it wants to run at almost 3k rpm in 7th gear on the highway. With my manual overriding I am getting just over 30 MPG. My wife has the Sante Fe with the 2.5 turbo and her car shifts just fine and has amazing acceleration!!!!!

Very competent blend of truck and car

Nice and roomy, does not feel small. All the power you need, but don't expect. Attractive, masculine styling. I'm very pleased with my selection of the Limited version.
