  • Price and reliablity - 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe
    By -

    We were looking for a small SUV. We looked at the Ford Escape and found that 36 months for a warranty couldnt compete with the Santa Fe. We got a 6 cylinder instead of a 4 cylinder for less money.

  • Bevs Sante Fe - 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe

    Its easy to drive with little care. I especially like the feature where you can phone when theres a problem; however, I used it falsely when getting a warning light only because I didnt twist the gas cap three times. Its very sturdy, easy to handle and very comfortable on long distance trips.

That was two weeks ago and have not felt it since. Thats the extent of the problems and I knew about the transmission unevenness from extensive board reading. So, Im very pleased. Its great for the mountain and city driving I do -- now wishing for a hybrid that gets 40 mpg.

    The car rides smooth and handles well--this being the first "non-car" Ive ever driven. No problem getting into and out of the Santa Fe and the seats are comfortable for all who ride in it. Plus I like that it has more of a car look to it-rounded ends and sides instead of the very sqare and straight"SUV/Jeep-y look" that most others seem to have. Good buy for the money--why spend more if you really dont have to? And a grea

  • Best suv on the market - 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe
    By -

    We looked at almost all suvs out there and the Santa Fe was by far the best buy and ride of them all. Best warranty on the market and the lowest price by far. We liked the vehicle so much and the warranty that we bought a Hyundai Elantra GT also. same thing best of everything.
