This was the first repair that was not covered within Hyundai warranty. This has been far and away the most reliable vehicle I have owned. The only thinges I can say as a negative about the SUV is that the gas mileage has deteriorated about 10 - 15% in local driving, however, a portion of that must be attributed to the 70 mph + avg. So. California freeway normal flow of traffic speeds compared to the 5 to 7 mph slower AVG speeds in MD, where the Santa Fe spent the first half of it's 10 years to date. | ||
