Just picked up our 6 passenger Santa Fe Ultimate and love it! Me and my wife were looking at the Pilot, Santa Fe, Highlander and Explorer as we wanted something bigger to replace our 2007 Honda CRV. We narrowed it down to the Santa Fe and Pilot, but it was almost a no brainer. We liked the new restyle of the Pilot but there were certain features that just were not available on the pilot or the price would go through the roof compared to the Santa Fe. And the warranty was key! Its our first Hyundai and I'm not going to lie I was a bit nervous, but the warranty puts your mind at ease. So far the ride feels smooth, the seats feel like they hug you and the panoramic roof is just awesome. I was excited about the infinity speakers but I think I need to tweak the settings as I was not impressed so far.

Im sure Ill have plenty of questions so Im glad I found this forum.

 

I was told that the panoramic roof is very hot in the sun

Other than that, enjoy your new ride

 

Awesome... good luck with the Ultimate.
We just got a 2017 Santa Fe Sport and glad we made this choice.

 

I'll jump in too. Sold my 2011 Sonata Limited 2.0T and bought the 2017 Santa Fe Sport 2.0T Ultimate last week. Love that engine. So much technology, I need a co-pilot.

 

Just got mine last week. Other than the under coating issue (see thread) I agree with everything you said. I'm 6'6" tall and 3 bills and this car has more room than my last 2 Avalanches! Getting in and out is a breeze. So far the 360 degree camera stands out plus the support for Android Auto. Hyundai Bluelink is on the other end of the spectrum though.
