Hyundai Santa Fe Review

You never know what you are missing in your car until you drive one that has everything you never knew you always wanted. (did that make sense?)  Like COOLED seats (they can be heated too), and a sun roof that goes from the front of the car to the back – like all the way to the back – from the front windshield to the back window. These are just a couple of things that immediately got our attention when we got into the Hyundai Santa Fe.

It has an amazing sound system, touch screen system, and a no key ignition…yup…you read right….you just have your key in your pocket, or purse, and since it is in proximity, you just push the button and it starts. You push the button and it turns off. Pretty dang cool right?

Driving it was a treat to be savored over and over again.  The luxurious features, look,  and overall feel allowed my wife and I the opportunity to drive around Las Vegas in style and made everywhere we drove enjoyable .  The all wheel drive came in handy  giving us the phenomenal traction and control that we needed to drive safely from place to place especially when windy and rainy conditions took effect.

The seating allowed for 7 with 4 captain chairs and room for 3 in the back.  We didn’t have our kids with us so the space still came in handy when it came time to load our luggage.  All the seats folded forward flat and allowed us to slide all of our luggage in with more than enough room to spare.  In fact we could have laid sleeping bags down side by side and slept in the back if we were camping.

Then engine of the Hyundai Santa Fe

I was way impressed with the quiet engine while driving.  I’m used to driving my truck or my older car and they make so much noise that driving the Hyndai Santa Fe made me feel so much more relaxed and comfortable.

The back seats are roomy and comfortable

I’ll admit that nowadays the driving experience isn’t just about getting from one location to another.  It’s about being comfortable, having all the bells and whistles, and making yourself feel like a million bucks while driving down the road, or “strip” in our case.  I enjoyed Vegas, but everytime I got into the car I didn’t want to get out even though it was Vegas!  And that says something about a vehicle.  We loved it.  Go, test drive, and purchase your own.  You will love it.

The Hyundai Santa Fe has so many amazing features from GPS to Cooled and Heated Seats

The car is sleek which allows better gas mileage. The seats were very comfortable. The very back seats could be folded flat, which came in handy since we had a lot of luggage with us, we were able to put all of the back seats down and have a flat area for all of our bags.

There are built in screens for the windows in the back. They are super easy to use and make a huge difference.

Head over to your local Hyundai dealer and give one a test drive. You won’t want to get out. 🙂 Learn more about Hyundai here:

    This is a very nice roomy car! I would love to travel in this car. I bet it has a nice ride and drives smooth. I like all the room and the red color is what I love!

    I love the double sun/moon roof to let the beautiful sunshine in! The massive trunk space is perfect for my family.

    That is a TON of space. I love the color. My car is the sameish color, but it is the basic of it’s kind. LOVE this.
