Wonderful experience

A great driving experience I had with the Jeep Compass. Either off-road or smooth road, you will feel great comfort next to luxury. Smooth drive even on rough stretches. Loaded with a variety of features.

A car with great looks,trendy interiors and a great drive !!!

<p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Exterior</strong> The aesthetic beauty of the Santa Fe' is excellent ! The car looks great and is a real head turner. I have been driving the car for a month now and have had numerous people who have come around and complimented the car for its looks.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Interior (Features, Space &amp; Comfort)</strong> Whilst the interiors per se are great, this is probably the one&nbsp;area where Hyundai could have thrown in some more features or at least given the customer some options. Unfortunately, at least in the initial stages, there were not many options to choose from, maybe they will add stuff as they go along.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox</strong> The fuel economy isnt great but I suppose&nbsp;thats to be expected with SUV' plus considering the slow speeds and huge traffic you encounter on a daily basis. The engine is really powerful in terms of pick up as well as straight line speed. Gearbox is smooth.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Ride Quality &amp; Handling</strong> We did a 2000km road trip to Rajasthan with a week of getting the Santa Fe and the car was awesome. It handeled great at high speeds, tok the bumps well &amp; was&nbsp;comfortable in the 2nd and 3rd row seats as well.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Final Words</strong> Overall, I would say its a good buy. Money well spent. We are happy &amp; satisfied and would reccommend the Santa Fe to anyone looking at entering the SUV segment.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Areas of improvement</strong> For the price tag Santa Fe is operating in, as they go along,&nbsp;&nbsp;it would make sense for Hyundai to provide extra features or at least options to customers.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>Trendy looks, great interiors, excellent driveCould have done with some features/options such as GPRS, rear parking camera, sun roof etc
