fun days in the 2017 hyundai santa fe

Hyundai Santa Fe Sport

Thanksgiving is a time for family so I was very happy to be able to drive the Hyundai 2017 Santa Fe when my kids and their significant others were home for the holidays last week. In fact, I was almost as excited to see the car pull into my driveway as I was to see my kids pull in.

After all, Hyundai is the sister of my beloved Kia.

I reviewed the 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe when it first came out and was eager to test drive the new 2017.

It was as comfortable and cushy as I remembered. And, just like my kids who were sporting new haircuts, it had everything I loved about it plus some great new features like this rear camera which not only shows what’s behind you but what’s all around you.

I loved that we were able to get everyone into the Santa Fe to drive to the Park Hyatt Aviara for our Thanksgiving feast instead of taking two cars. As we drove up the 5, the sound system provided a memorable soundtrack, with each of us getting a turn to plug in our phones or iPods to share our favorite song.

Look how festive the Santa Fe looks at the Aviara. This could be the car’s holiday card!

We took advantage of the heated seats on the way home because the temperature must have dropped to, oh, maybe 69 degrees, and we have definitely turned into weather wimps since moving to San Diego.

We also took advantage of the time in the car together to talk about all the things we were grateful for this Thanksgiving. One thing on everyone’s list? Our time together in the Hyundai Santa Fe.

Now, that was a gift.
