    I agree, but I do not opt for an expensive stereo with GPS. Instead I make sure that it supports Android auto (or for iPhones, Apple play) and use Waze or Google maps for travel.

    Clearly, the NFB doesn't want me to know anything at all about their film if I don't first agree to run their JavaScript on my computer.

    Yeah, I don’t do cookies unless I’m totally committed.
    If you can’t reject them completely, I’m out.
    I like when they tell you ‘for a better site experience’, and yet, I’ve always had a fine experience having rejected them

    Bought my wife a 2024 Santa Fe last week of February. It took a rock (or something) to the driver side door window and spider-webbed the outer layer of safety glass. Called Safelite to get a quote to replace thinking I'd just do it outside of insurance. $2016. Sweet. Called my State Farm insurance agent the next day. Took almost 9 weeks to get the right glass and right grippers, but we finally got it replaced.

    We bought a 2020 Santa Fe SEL in 2020 - it has been an excellent car for us - hope yours is the same for you.

    Love them. We bought a 2003 LX with the 3.5 new in 2003. It's still parked in the driveway. Decided to keep it instead of trading it in so we can use it for when we need to ferry the fur babies around to the vet or parks, etc. Trying to keep the new one in 'new' shape!

    That 2003 is one of the best (non-gen 2) cars I've ever bought. I sure do hope this 2024 is just as good. May be the last new car I ever buy.
    2024 Limited AWD in the Hampton Gray color. They sure have come a long way since the 2003!
