 Having driven a Hyundai Sonata for six years and loving it, changing over to a Santa Fe gets mixed reviews from me.  I LOVE being higher up and able to see much better on the road.  I have bad knees and I have to set the seat back completely as well as lower the seat as far down as it will go (I put it up to drive) in order to more easily get in and out of the car (I am 5'5").  I adjust it up and forward whenever I am in.  That makes it much easier to drive.  I tested several different individual Santa Fe's before picking this one.  I love the color combination (dark gray with light gray interior) and this one feels more comfortable that some of the other Santa Fe's. It does not have nearly the good gas mileage as the Sonata Hybrid, but I am not driving as much as I used to, so that helps.  It feels good to drive and takes corners very well. I do have a few complaints. 1-It is hard to reach the front door when it is open all of the way.  I have to lean way over and pull the pocket at the bottom of the door in order to close it. 2- The tail gate does not have a spring release.  I have to be sure the car is unlocked, get out and pull the gate up from the rear. It is heavy and hard to raise.  Then, it is hard to close. Hard to pull down and must be slammed shut.  3- When rounding a corner where the road goes uphill, the car gets sluggish.  I have to accelerate a good bit in order to get it to pull up the hill well. The car has heated seats which I have not yet tried (not cold yet).  Looking forward to that.  The night lights are strong and well-aimed and are good to use.  It has a dual climate control, so I can have my side warmer than my husband's.  It also has rear air conditioning, which is excellent for any car.
