Hello!
Thanks for reading my first post! I just purchased a 2017 Sante Fe Sport 2.4 FWD with 25k miles this past weekend. I also own an 04 sonata with 165k and it still has a solid powertrain. We decided to go back to Hyundai this weekend because the trauma of dealing with Ford's 1.6 Eco-boost just became unbearable.
Initially, I went looking at the 2019 Santa Fe, which is an incredible car. However factoring the price, the deal the dealer was offering on my trade, (13 Escape
) and the amount of options in the 2017 ultimate compared to the base model 2019 was something I couldn't pass up. Overall, I'm glad to be in in the 2017 Santa Fe and out of the Ford.
I'm seeking any advice or feedback on anyone else's experience with the 2017 2.4 FWD, specifically with reliability. Is the 2.4 competent on this platform? i.e not "working too hard" for the weight of the vehicle. I know it is the same engine Hyundai uses in the Sonata. Otherwise, are there any particular maintenance issues on this platform I should be aware of in order to prevent further headaches down the road? I really hope I made the best decision possible and got into a solid, reliable vehicle considering the endless headaches I had with Ford Eco-boost engines.
Cheers,
Corey
