  • 3.5 GLS Santa Fe 2004 - 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe
    By -

    Ive had nothing for the dealer to repair. Im seriously handicaped and I selected the particular car to address my needs - good choice. The initial throttle response is a little touchy. Exellent initial quality. I cant speak to down-the-road quality since Ive only had the car about a month.

    I did a lot of looking and research before I bought my 2004 Hyundai. Ive owned Broncos,Bronco IIs,S-10s and my last SUV was an Explorer. I was impressed by the ride, the amenities and that fantastic warranty. I love driving this car, and in our Minnesota winters, the car handles like a dream with TCS and AWD. Im not crazy about my gas mileage, but all things considered ,I have one fine automobile, and am planning on buying the new Hyundai SUV due out in 2006.

    I know that Hyundai has been carrying a stigma of a "Cheap Ride" for some time now. However, they maybe more competitive in the price range but lead the pack in qaulity, performance, style availabilty of options as standard equipment and nothing beats the warranty.

    Nice SUV for the price. Paid below invoice and ours includes running board and moonroof too. Its solid and the quality is exceptional. As good as the Honda and Toyota products. Smooth driving quality! Almost as smooth as a Lexus RX, NO kidding! For under $20K and youre thinking of a Honda CRV, Toyota RAV 4 or Highlander. Take a look at the Sante Fe...driving is believing!

  • Too big for just me - 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe

    My car drives great. Easy to park.Sits up higher than a car,so visibility is great. The back seat has a stow away Childs seat. Its just me now that my husband passed away and the kids are all grown up. So I want to down size.

  • 2003 santa fe 3.5 awd - 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe
    By -

    Vehicle has very slight lag on initial acceleration to about 2200rpm and then its very good. Ride is firm- seating very comfortable. Slight reflection of dashboard in windshield and of rear brake light under some lighting conditions. Gas mileage about 13 mpg under suburban non highway driving. Engine smooth- trans shifts smooth and not overly active.
