  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.

  Top Quality - 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By Hyundai Boy - August 29 - 10:00 am

  I have had my 2003 for over 1 year. It is performing above expectations. Wonderful to drive, good milage for an SUV (19.5) in mixed driving. 3 more of my friends have bought them. Engineer is outstanding, features usually limited to higher priced system. Look under the hood of a BMW! AWD system is excellent in Snow/Wet. BF GoodRich tires are high performers. I highly recommend this product and please note, Hyundai ranks with Honda in overall problems per 100 vehicles. 2nd only to Toyota. Imagine that!!!

  1st SUV Ive Purchased - 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By Gino - August 22 - 7:46 am

  I just purchased a GLS FW 3.5 Santa Fe. I love it so far. The ride is smooth, just like a car. Goes up hills without a problem. Havent had a chance to drive it in bad weather yet. Edmunds.com was great for me. I was really able to do a lot of homework before purchasing the vehicle. Everyone who has seen it likes it. My cousins took a ride in it and they want to purchase one. My only regret is I dont know if I should have gone with the 2.7 with AWD versus the power of the 3.5 engine and FW drive. I couldnt afford both. However this one does have ABS brakes and traction control. You cant beat the warranty. Winter will be the test. Go Hyundai!

  I Love my Santa Fe!! - 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By MDB - July 17 - 10:00 am

  This IS a great vehicle for those looking for good performance and reliability in an SUV type vehicle. The exterior design is not squared off and "boxy" looking like many other SUVs, something that appeals to me. The price makes this an affordable vehicle for those who want a solid SUV at a great price.I looked at other models for months before choosing the Santa Fe. The few times it has needed service the localHyundai dealer has been great, even when the item is under warranty they have not tried to wiggle out of it like so many dealers do. I lfeel like I got a $30K SUV for under $20K after all my comparison shopping. I love my SantaFe

  I like my Santa Fe!!! - 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By Clee Dillard - July 17 - 10:00 am

  I had researched and compared several SUVs and found out that for the money I was getting more SUV. I had owned a Sonata several years ago and was quite satisfied. I drove both the 4 cylinder AND the 6 cylinder and found no difference in the pick up. ITS A GREAT SUV. The 4 cylinder I choose has a jerking motion when ideling for a while....is this normal. I HAVE noticed that more people are going to the compact SUVs now due to size AND gas milage. I made a GREAT choice. Thanks...Clee

  Better than a Jeep - 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By Barrie Hobbs - July 15 - 11:43 pm

  I have had 4 Jeep Grand Cherokkes in 5 years and finally woke up to how much money I was wasting my last Jeep an 04 Grand Cherokee Overland lost 50% in 1 year thats more than the Santa Fe cost, mine is a 2.7V^ is great to drive has lots of space and is great fun, the build quality is better than Jeeps and the cabin is better finished the only down side is the radio and lack of power folding mirrors

  My Santa Fe - 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By Liz - June 24 - 3:23 pm

  I have had my Santa Fe for (4) years and overall it has been a good experience. The vehicle has been reliable with no major maintenance work required. It is fun to drive and just as stylish as some of the more expensive SUVs on the road. My ownership experience was always very good when I dealt with Arnold Hyundai never had a problem. I went to Suburban Hyundai in Troy, MI after Arnold Hyundai moved far from my home. I do not like that dealership, so back to Arnold (Victory) Hyundai I go!
