Hyundai has improved a lot in recent times. They give value for money, infact I am recent owner of Hyundai 2013 model vehicle in Qatar. I feel following are the drawbacks of hyundai.

1) The dealer is very sluggish no that active or craving for buisness hence will not announce any offers or discounts for these vehicles.

2) Dealer is one of the stupidest in this world, doesn't bring Full options model at all to Qatar, he brings the clipped versions which is worth for nothing, where as the same vehcile full options will be available in UAE, Saudi & Kuwait GCC markets

3) 2013 Santafe is really excellent option to go with, it has lot of features which a luxury crossover will not delivery you, but as i said above DEALER does not have full options in qatar so better check all features in showroom before decision.
