I've enjoyed how lively my Mazda CX-50 feels, it's fun to drive and handles sharp. But honestly, a few ongoing frustrations have me thinking it was the wrong pick long-term, and now I'm looking at the new Hyundai Santa Fe. I'm big on comfort and features, so I'm torn between the Limited and Calligraphy trims. The XRT looks rugged and stylish, but since I stick to highways and city streets, off-roading isn't really a factor. Has anyone here switched from Mazda to Hyundai? Any advice or regrets?

You'll find the Santa Fe to be a very comfortable and quiet vehicle compared to the Mazda's sporty feel. I'd suggest a long test drive on roads you know well, as the handling is quite different. What frustrations with the CX-50 are making you consider the change?

As much as I love Santa, but trading a CX-50 for it feels like giving up a driver's car for a living room on wheels. You gain comfort and tech, sure but if driving feel matters, it's a downgrade, not an upgrade.
