Hey Everyone,
Just took delivery of a 2014 AWD 2.4 last week. She's Cabo Bronze with the brown/tan interior and technology package. What an awesome vehicle, glad we chose this over the other contenders.

Looking forward to sharing ideas and experiences with the group.

Just took delivery last night. Sport 2.0T loaded. Black w/ saddle interior. Lots of techy stuff, more than I'll probably ever use, but its there just in case.

First impressions:

-Nice quiet, comfortable, ride
-Not a sports car, but if that's what I wanted I would have kept my trade-in (2009 Acura TL SH-AWD w/ Tech)
- Bought it as a demo (1771 miles)
- Got a great deal, I think, except I added over priced dealer add-on stuff (extended bumper-to-bumper warranty, extended maintence contract - basically oil changes, Xzilon treatment) with the finance manager which then made the deal not so good; guess I'm getting too old to put up the battle and just say NO
- gas tank was filled to Full; I reset the trip computer; with about 50 miles after the reset, the computer shows av. MPG of 25 (all city/suburban) with a range of 260 miles - something odd about that.

I'll keep everyone updated as time goes on - in the event anyone cares. This forum doesn't apear to be overly active. Are there other forums I might check out? Replies are appreiciated.

Getting mine today, good luck to you both. Hoping to find an active forum as well- maybe the newbie area is just quiet

I have found the forum at "hyundai-forums" to be more active than this forum. Can't provide the direct link due to editing restrictions in this forum, so hope you find it. Many sub-forums for the Santa Fe there. Just responding to an email sent from you. Hope you are enjoying your new Santa Fe. I am. For me, its only been a month or so since purchase.
