  By Artifax - November 29 - 10:00 am

  My 2001-5 speed Santa Fe sticker price was the same as some other used vehicles I looked at. Styling is sharp, interior space is best in catagory, performance and handeling are good for a small SUV

  Santa Fe more than Okay - 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By KC - November 20 - 10:50 am

  Excellent value for the money. Fun to drive, has excellent "eye appeal" and a fantastic warranty. The LX package with the 3.5L is worth the extra money.

  I Would Buy It Again! - 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By Davina Rasa - November 19 - 12:13 am

  I am so happy with my Artic Blue 2004 Santa Fe. In my opinion the Artic Blue is the sharpest color but for some reason Hyundai has chosen not to use this color in 2005 & 2006. I have had a 100k Powertrain warranty on my car and it kicked in when I experienced two very minor problems (got the wipers blades replaced free of charge and once when the engine light came on). Great Car

  Love my Sante Fe - 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By JEAN - November 13 - 4:30 am

  We looked at many vehicle comparisons in searching out the perfect one for us. Much exhausting research to be confident in our decision. After looking at dealerships, searching on line, and auto shows,we feel we absolutly choose the best of the rest in our Sante Fe. It is the best value for what you get in it. After driving cars all our lives, we wondered how we would like driving a SUV. Suffice to say, we will only buy SUVs in the furure. Our Sante Fe is truly fun to drive, and has great looks and features for the price.

  Well done! - 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By TheEngineer - October 24 - 7:23 pm

  My review is based on my past experience with cars. I currently drive a Lexus LX470, Accord, Lexus LS, and a Audi 90 Q (the audi I actually gave up a long time ago and it sits in my garage). As for qulaity, from the short time I had it is SUPERB ! I thought only the Japanese could deliver this level of quality. My first Korean import and I am happy though I do worry about the significant portion from Canada (bad experiences in the past with Canadian parts). The fit and finish is right up there with the rest of my cars. I would not mind paying for extra safety features such as side impact air bags and a safety cage. A XM radio with USB MP3 feature would be great. Less Curves.

  Hyundai Sante Fe Review - 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By bhafen1 - October 5 - 10:00 am

  We love our Sante Fe. Lots of rooom. We got the LX -- it feels like a luxury vehicle with the leather and heated seats. We can get a LOT of stuff and people in our suv. Weve taken it on several road trips and camping trips.

  The Hyundai Santa Fe thinks its a Lexus - 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By Helicopper - October 5 - 10:00 am

  Weve traditionally owned Toyotas (10) and loved them, but a test drive in the Santa Fe sold us. Were so impressed with the quality of the construction, fit and finish of the vehicle. We love the bank vault door feel when closing a door, the well-thought-out design of the dash and other controls that puts everything within easy reach, the quality materials used for the interior and exterior, the great sound of the Monsoon in-dash CD changer and speakers, the well-placed and spacious storage areas, the beautifully done leather seating, the smooth yet powerful engine and transmission and the secure, quiet ride and precise handling. Even love the cute first aid kit! I could go on forever.

  Fun to Drive - 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By Ann Webb - October 3 - 11:33 am

  This is my SUV to own and I have been really pleased. This is my second Hyundai thought. I had a 2001 Sonata and traded it for the Santa Fe. Its fun to drive and handles well.

  I Love My Santa Fe - 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By Islandgrl84 - September 9 - 2:00 am

  I use to have a 2000 Mustang convertible and after having my Santa Fe for almost, oh my god I love it so much. Being only 19 thats really hard to do for a sports car to lose to an SUV, but man I love the fact of going off road a little and I still can open my moon roof for the great sun.There isnt much more that I can say but everyone should have one. They get great gas mileage.

  Santa Fe Is a Great Buy - 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By Mxms344 - September 4 - 10:00 am

  The Santa Fe excells in every category except for one in my opinion. The fuel economy is not what I was expectiong from a 4 cycl. engine and a 5-speed manual transmission. But that being said the comfort of the ride and the spacious interior matched with the affordability and reliability greatly over shadow the fuel economy.
