Favorite SUV!
We purchased the 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe used, with about 130,000 miles on it. We needed something to haul the kids, dog, and musical instruments around all together. I didn't mind the mileage considering Hyundai's reputation. In spite of the fact that the previous owners didn't appear to have taken extremely great care of it, it's done everything I wanted, including a road trip with 6 passengers. I test drove every brand of SUV that offered 7 passenger seating (and a few that didn't) before I made a decision. The Hyundai Santa Fe was my favorite by far!! I couldn't be more pleased with it. It's comfortable and zippy. It feels like I'm driving a car, except it sits higher, has all wheel drive, and easily fits 7 passengers. The kids love it and I can lay all the back seats down to transport a bass string instrument. Also has plenty of space for 3 kids and a full size cello while still feeling "small" and fun to drive. The other brands made me feel like I was driving a long, rickety bus (and I've been driving crew cab, long bed trucks for the past 20 years). Has plenty of get up and go for those times when you really want it. When it's time to upgrade, I'll still be looking for another Santa Fe, as long as they offer the same 7 passenger seating. My stepdaughter fell in love with it, too, when she used it to drive the kids to the store. I helped her find a 2008 Santa Fe and she loves hers! The only small downside... the sun visors were an issue in both Santa Fe's. They fall out of the ceiling are a bit pricey to replace. Not to mention, it's very surprising when it suddenly falls out and blocks your view while driving down the road.
