I think this review just about perfectly captures how I’ve felt about the Santa Fe Sport my boyfriend and I bought last May right after these models came out. (Yes, they were selling a 2017 model in the first half of 2016)

The one thing I’m concerned about over the long haul with our Santa Fe Sport is all the electronics and features holding up. They feel pretty solid so far, and we’re almost a year into ownership without having anything fail or fall apart (with the exception of a tiny plastic cover over the screw holding in the…

For me it definitely was. We could probably have shopped around and looked at something like the X3, or an Audi Q3, but between the longer warranty period and knowing that in the future repair bills would be a lot higher because German it felt like a smarter move to just get a fully loaded Santa Fe Sport and not feel…

I think it fits pretty well in ours, the only problem I have with it (one of my small issues with the car) is that it really, really needs more controls. Having play/pause and back/forward nav buttons for the audio system would be a HUGE improvement.

We have the 2.0T of this model and I think the engine compartment is a little trickier than the 2.4, but it should be fine to work on. We’ve got our fingers crossed that it holds up, but that’s why we bought the extended 10/100k bumper to bumper warranty.

Somehow, the Edge did not feel anywhere near as large as those numbers make it sound. It felt positively cramped last year when we checked it out versus the Santa Fe Sport we ended up buying.

I can give you a few reasons why we made the choice we did to buy one of these last year.

Of all the (extremely few) faults I’ve found with our Santa Fe Sport, I’d say the fuel tank being so small is definitely the biggest one. I can live with poor fuel economy, but having to fill up so frequently is rather annoying. But, it’s a sacrifice worth making in our case because none of the other options really…

My boyfriend and I bought one of these Santa Fe Sport models last year (ultimate, AWD, turbo) and have been extremely happy with it. We don’t like the Subaru dash layout or the infotainment/electronics, and a car with a warranty that actually lasts the length of time we’re making payments on it is critical.

I was highly amused at that, there were so many Santa Fe models in that show it felt like one long ad. But I had to laugh when the rental they had in the section in China was super base.

After 20+ years of building PCs, I think I’m increasingly convinced that the fear of static electricity is a prank being pulled on people by someone from the 1980's. I’ve never used a wrist strap, and never seen a computer that was damaged during the build process by static.

Ripped out the steering column and wheel from my ‘84 Dodge B250 van and replaced it with one from a newer model minivan. 90% the same part, but about 90% less slop.

Ha, nope. This is from back when the idea of a limited nuclear war was a more common concern. It’s got fallout patterns, protective measures, information about all kinds of interesting but terrifying after effects of a nuclear detonation. Even some transparencies to be used with an overhead projector on top of a map!

Sorry for the tangent, but I’m just checking in to say the brutalist design of that courthouse is fucking amazing.

If you think that’s bad, I bet you’d wet your pants looking at a cold war era government manual I’ve got kicking around.

Putting aside whether or not it’s possible for a Kinja post to instigate a cold war, or even accelerate or remotely impact one (it’s not) I think it’s pretty clear we’ve been in something just a bit warmer than the cold war was for the past few years now. Putin’s made sure of that, now that his neighbors want in on…

I can’t deny the beauty of a good twin turbo, though the long ailing 300ZX TT in my garage has certainly soured me on them a bit.

Those wouldn’t have worked for me, unfortunately, even if I were a smaller person. I also have a hard time thinking of anything smaller than an Outback as an actual wagon, too. I think that’s because I grew up in a family that always had *real* wagons, the big land yachts of the 60's and 70's that I wish someone would…

A handgun is designed to send high-velocity projectiles toward an object placed in front of it.

I’ll say it, then. Shooting would be a lot easier and more fun if I didn’t have to wear heavy, bulky earmuffs in order to protect my ears and could get the same protection with in-ear or thinner profiled muffs. They screw up what remains of my hair and make it difficult for me to line up for a sight picture through…
