  Sante Fe Proud - 2006 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By Jean Parker - June 15 - 10:33 pm

  We purchased this SUV three months ago. We are completely satisfied. We have only driven Fords for the last thirty years. Would not hesitate to purchase another Hyundai. We like everything about this SUV. It handles like a dream.

  Wow, more bang for your Buck! - 2006 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By nikenri - May 5 - 5:13 pm

  Overall the ride is smooth and comfy, some bad freeway spots however bring out a little to much bouncing. Gas mileage is not a strong point but the ride and style and great price makes up for the shortfall!

  20K and going strong - 2006 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By RD - August 28 - 2:23 pm

  After 20K+ miles in 20 months, this 06 Santa Fe hasnt had any problems. Dealer recommended oil changes/service by the book. Dealer caught one minor problem at 6K miles & repaired it (no charge). Great in traffic with ample acceleration to move as needed. Good sound system. Would like better than 2 interior color choices (taupe and grey). Body paint still looks new. Braking is still great. Interior cab for driver feels cramped with seat pushed back to its stops; have to rest left foot on foot rest; still uncomfortable with long drives. V6 highway mileage could be better.

  Driven 100000 plus miles on it already and planning to drive another 100000 on it for another 5 years. It drives good in Michigan road in winter on a virgin snow of up to 4 inches.

  Great Buy for the Money - 2006 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By JRinUtah - July 16 - 8:40 am

  I bought this vehicle a commuter car. This is my 1st Hyundai and I was a bit skeptical, however Ive been very impressed. The fuel economy could be better, but its fine even with todays prices. Love the layout of the cabin and the drive; and thats saying a lot since my other vehicle is a 05 Acura. The power is good, even in the Utah Mountains. The only 2 downs are the drivers side can be a little tight and the pedals are close together. I think the 2.7L engine is a little weak for my mountains, but was fine in the city during the test drive. Overall a great value for the money and a good low cost alternative to Toyota and Honda.

  Great Overall Vehicle! - 2006 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By BoboSmith - June 20 - 4:00 pm

  I think the vehicle is great in almost every respect. The only problems are gas milage and the initial quickness off the line for this type of vehicle. If you like to launch off the line when the light turns green, you know what I mean. The midrange acceleration is quite good though. It is great for passing on the freeway etc. Overall, this baby has a lot more pep than I expected from a V6. It handles like a car and yet it has pretty good ground clearance for taking camping trips. This is also where the roof rack comes in handy. God for your tents, chairs, sleeping bags, etc.
