New Santa Fe in the household!!
So my brother and his wife was finally convinced to get rid of the junky Mazda5 ( 
) they had. Yesterday they just picked up a 2012 Santa Fe SE!!! Sorry no pictures, but it did happen and now we are a 2 Hyundai household. Apparently a lot of Mazda5s had some suspension defects from the manufacture. This one kept wearing out tires quick and had a terrible clunky noise from the back tires. The ride was also pretty rough, my Genesis Coupe was a lot smoother. So lets hope they are happy with their purchase as I recommended the Santa Fe to them. Yay for them!

The rear tire wear was camber they did on purpose to make that thing handle better, I had an 06. If you got parts off the MS3 you could adjust that crap out. Mine was a turd for other reasons from about 30k miles on. Glad you got away from it.
Good job!
