Great Looks, Great Ride, Great Comfort, Poor Reliability
My Santa Fe Hybrid Calligraphy turns heads, is very comfortable on the road, it has great features that are functional and easy to use. The mileage is excellent with over 500 miles to the tank, it is super quiet, BUT at least the Hybrid version is not reliable. I've had my vehicle for 13 months and it has less than 12,000 miles total and it has left me stranded on the highway twice. It loses power without warning and both times I went from going 70 mph down to 25 mph without warning, creating a safety hazard as I had to change lanes going 25 mph, while other vehicles are traveling highway speed. The first time, it was at the dealership service department for two weeks, I got it back and 1,000 miles later it did it again. As of this writing my Santa Fe Hybrid Calligraphy has been with the dealer a total of 15 days and counting without any assurances that I will get it back anytime soon. I should have just gone with the gas version and perhaps I could have avoided all these headaches and potential accidents.
