    I have really enjoyed my Santa Fe in the month Ive owned it. It has a wonderful smooth ride. My other vehicle you got jousled when you went over rough roads or bumps this is exceptonally smooth. It came with alot more standard equipment for the price and the warranty is great too!

    I love This car. Cant wait to drive it. It is the most confortable vehicle I have ever owned. The gas prices being what they are its costing more than I want for a week. I love the amount of room it has. I neede to carried something large and the ease of putting the back seat down was so easy.

  • Problems with Blower Control Knob - 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe
    By -

    I actually like my 2004 Santa Fe which I purchased new back in May of 2004. I have a problem that I cannot resolve. Each year I have a problem with my blower control knob. The blower starts to run only on one level and eventually stops altogether. It has cost me several hundred dollars each time I have had this fixed only to be back in the same situation the next year. Right now I have been only able to use my heat or A/C on high because it wont work on any other level. Thanks, TOO HOT OR TOO COLD

    I have always drove a larger american model of 4wd suvs. I fell in love with the Santa Fe and felt real comfortable in buying the Santa Fe as my husband and I spoke to strangers that owned the Santa Fe and have found that no one had anything bad to say about the vehicle. We were sold!

  • My Second Santa Fe - 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe
    By -

    This is my second Santa Fe. Originally owned the 2002 fwd LX but wanted the bigger engine and 4wd. Also got the sunroof, woodgrain interior and running boards. This car has been great. It offers a compiant ride, good handling and many safety features including side air bags. No wonder Hyundai is tied with Honda for Initial Quality. Buy it...you wont regret it!

  • After a year....a good choice - 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe
    By -

    After a year, my Santa Fe has been extremely reliable. The power from the 3.5 is adequate if not outstanding. The engine is "silky-smooth" and not noisy. I like the interior design as it is very ergonometric and almost everything is accessible.The brakes and stopping distance are very good for this type of SUV. The A/C design is perfect for me and my family, as the vents are out of your face and we truly like that.

  • Best car Ive ever had - 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe
    By -

    My six year old Santa Fe has 150,000 miles on it and it still has the original BF Goodrich tires on it, original front brakes. I replaced the rear pads and rotors in March 2010. I have always used synthetic oil and have had no problems with the engine at all. Average 22 MPG. I have had two problems. I have replaced the headlight and fog light bulbs four or five times, and the car has developed a short in the electronic odometer. Otherwise, I have had no problems with this car and have spent next to nothing on it.

  • Read this Before Buying! - 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe

    I have owned this car for over a month now. I have had Zero problems with this vehicle and am getting 4 miles more a gallon than the sticker said. My family loves it. I can keep up with freway traffic and tow my waverunner with ease. I had a great experience at the dealership, paid under invoice and feel great about my investment. I would stongly recomend this suv.
