There is a proliferation of foot-operated parking brakes these days and I have nothing against them in principle; but the Santa Fe’s simply wouldn’t hold car and caravan on our 17% hill. That, coupled with a harsh ride, low load capacity and mixed views on high-speed stability, did not endear this car to the judges.
