Quick and efficient for an SVU
I love my 2014 Santa Fe. It is quick off the line, sporty, and a fantastic kid hauler with the 3 rows. We have 3 kids and have the premium option with the Captains Chairs in the second row - this configuration has been great to minimize bickering among the kiddos on long rides, so is very pleasant to travel in. I also love the fact that all the seats fold down really flat which is great when I have to schlep my drums for gigs (not very often), and when I go cub scout camping with my son. In town I leave it in Eco mode and I can definitely tell the difference to my wallet - fill-ups are reduced to every couple of weeks. In Eco mode it is not as eager to downshift and take off too quickly, yet it still is plenty peppy enough to more than keep up with the faster traffic (I tend to hang with the faster traffic). Since I've bought my Santa Fe, I've seen more and more of them on the road, have a couple of friends that bought one too, and I always imagine that each of the people that have one is riding around somewhat smugly (like me) knowing what a great vehicle this (and an incredible value)! I guess the best compliment I can give is that if my 5 year old Santa Fe was totaled tomorrow, I'd replace it in a split second with the latest model!
