  Best Hyundai Ever - 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By dutch047 - October 24 - 2:00 pm

  So far so good! I love the comfort of the vehicle and cant beat the interior designed. But with standard stafty features this is one of the safest suv to buy, espeacially with a family.

  Fix the brakes - 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By On the right track - October 23 - 1:43 pm

  Hyundai has continued to build more stylish vehicles, improve quality, and keep prices reasonable. This suv compares in options to the more expensive Lexus and Acura, but at a more reasonable price. Of course, its not equal in quality , materials, and status as the forementioned. Safety is the main concern for me. This suv is filled with safety devices from the air bags to the drivetrain. Im waitng for the side impact crash results. The one area of concern is the very long stopping distance. Im cinfident Hyundai will correct this problem.

  Ive had this for 3.3 years, and it has been a good vehicle. Good AWD, mileage has been good, comfortable, warms up well, all around good vehicle. When its time to get my wife a new vehicle, I will seriously look at the the new Tucson.

  Safety first - 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By JASmith - May 22 - 6:13 am

  Bought it for the safety features, especially ESC. Limited was the first one to the dealership, so I bought it. Love the luxury features. Did not get 3rd row seats, did not want them. Extra storage is important. Gas mileage is not great yet, hope it will improve with miles run.

  We Love Our Santa Fe - 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By Theron - May 8 - 7:33 am

  Traded a Mazda mvp van for the Santa Fe... White... Se model. For the price.. You get a lot for your money. Great style and a great smooth ride. We have 18 in tires which helps. Controls inside are easy to use and easy to find which my wife likes a lot. Our highway mileage on interstates driving to Florida is about 22 - 23 miles per gallon... Less of course around town. But we love the Santa Fe and are impressed by it. We chose the 6 cylinder for added power. This suv also has 6 air bags and a great safety rating. Would we get another one... Absolutely.

  Good vehicle overall - 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By Jackie Smith - May 7 - 12:37 pm

  We bought the vehicle used with 125,000 miles and owned it just over 2 years. The mechanics of driving the car were great! The main problems were 3 of 4 doors stopped unlocking with remote, and door to gas tank had to be manually opened pulling cord in cargo area. And occasional problems with brake lights and turn signals.

  Good at start but not Long Term - 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By breich - June 26 - 8:46 am

  We bought this after owning a CRV. We really liked having the V6, the ride quality, and how smooth of a ride it gave off. We were also impressed that the V6 gave us very similar gas mileage as the CRV but with so much more power. However the love affair began wearing off this past year. We had the Check Engine light come on 3 times and then the Passenger Seat Airbag light began going crazy. Everytime our dealership gave us crap answers that something needed reset, recalibrate, or as in the case of the seat could not replicate. Nothing ever got fixed. So in the end between the dealership experience(only Hyundai dealer in area) & the car issues this was probably our one and only Hynudai.

  wait a couple of years - 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By mark - June 21 - 5:43 am

  It depends on ones perception on what you want in a suv This is not a touring car as built. It;s more a commuter or running around car. Great design, well built, solid. smooth transmission and engine, plenty of pop on the high end. Lacks power on the low end, mainly because of gearing. Well laid out controls. Hyundai tryed to think of everthing possible to make this a good suv. It falls short in these areas. center coucil to high to short.causes arm fatigue and elbow soreness. arm rests not padded enough. front buckets to stiff. suspension to stiff and has a truck like ride on uneven pavement. some body roll on corners.good on highway but seems to float a bit.needs more floor sound proofing.

  Just Needs More Comfortable Front Seats - 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By rgravesjr - June 7 - 6:33 am

  Other than the front seat bottoms,which need to be about two inches longer, my wife and I are happy with the car. Very quiet interior-easy to have a normal conversation at highway speeds (windows up, of course). Dont care for the "proprietary" XM radio. The logo will be there rather you activate or not. And true, the 18" wheels seem to contribute to a little harsher ride on rough roads.

  Not comfortable to drive - 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By Virginia Driver - December 18 - 7:26 pm

  I cannot get comfortable in the drivers seat. I love everything about it except driving it! Have had to replace tires too soon because of an alignment problem. Noticed the new tires wearing and checked the alignment and it was out just a tiny bit, dont know why my tires are wearing on the inside. There is a clunking noise under the front. I feel like something is going to fall off. Im thinking of trading it for a Forester. It has 65k miles on it and hasnt given me any real problems and it was great in the snow. Average 22 mpg, maybe 25 on interstate. I hate climbing in this vehicle. I just cannot get the seat adjusted to fit the steering wheel comfortably. It has great brakes and radio.
