2025 Hyundai Santa Fe Calligraphy Hybrid
I overall enjoy the Santa Fe and the gas mileage is great, but some of the safety and other features drive me crazy. I installed a hitch to transport bikes but you can't back out of the driveway without the emergency brakes locking up and jerking the vehicle to a stop. Great way to start your morning with a cup coffee spilling down your shirt. After fully pressing the brake it does allow you to slowly back up, but the lights and warnings are going off the entire time. If you need to turn around later in the trip, it does it again. There needs to be an override feature you can press when towing or hauling bikes. The mirrors unfolding when you walk up seemed like a nice feature, but on a day I am home and outside the mirrors open and shut repeatedly; can't be good for long-term reliability. When going down the highway with cruise on, I like to drive with my hand/arm on top of the steering wheel. It constantly is beeping at me or turning off cruise as it claims my eyes are not on the road. The layout of Sirius XM is absolutely TERRIBLE. You can see the channel number on the standard display, but not the band name or the song name. To get to that, you need to click on the Sirius XM screen and then click it a second time. Even then, the band/song information is small with a lot of unused screen available. When on this screen, you no longer can view the Map or other information. My previous 10 year old vehicle, with a small screen, had a better layout and interface - PLEASE FIX! The UV-C Sterilization Glove Box Tray is a worthless feature that I can't imagine anyone requested. The space could be better utilized and costs saved.
I love the matte black finish with black wheels!
