  • 2004 Base Santa Fe - 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe
    By -

    I bought the base, manual, without a lot of bells and whistles because I wanted a manual, not an automatic. My gas mileage is probably better because of this varying from 24-28 mpg depending on how much city driving I do. On trips hwy mileage can even approach 30 mpg. I had a problem with the check engine light for the first couple of years d/t accelerator sensor position problems, but o/w very reliable. Just had to have the crankshaft sensor (and accelerator sensor) replaced as it caused the vehicle to quit completely, but overall I am very, very happy with it. Scratches do tend to occur in parking lots. Very comfortable and I want to keep this till it stops running completely.

  • Excellent SUV for the money - 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe
    By -

    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.

    Best buy for the money

    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.

  • Driving is BELIEVING! - 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe

    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
    By -

    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.
