Modern Looks, Micromanaged Drive: A Mixed Bag in the 2025 Santa Fe
While I enjoy the feeling of driving a brand-new 2025 vehicle, I just can’t get used to how much this car tries to take control. It beeps constantly — for every little thing — and the driver-assist features seem determined to micromanage my every move.
I’ve been driving for years without a single accident or ticket, and honestly, this car makes me feel more stressed than safe. Instead of enhancing the driving experience, all the technology ends up making it feel like I’m being second-guessed at every turn.
Maybe it’s great for someone who’s just learning to drive or wants that level of guidance, but for me, it’s exhausting. I can’t wait for the lease to be up so I can switch back to something that trusts me behind the wheel.
