  • Good design - 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe
    By -

    Ive owned my Santa Fe for a little over a week now. Ive been very pleased with how the car handles. Has very good ride. The exterior and interior designs is clean and modern, much nicer than the Toyota highlander and Honda Pilot in my opinion. Im currently getting 20mpg (mostly city driving). I recently took a 4.5 hour trip (mostly highway) and was getting about 23mpg. The steering wheel controls are spread too far apart and difficult to get use to as they are very low on the wheel. The transmition does not shift a smooth as some of the others but feels solid.

  • Best SUV for the money - 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe
    By -

    The Santa Fe, similarly equipped, costs considerably less than any serious competitor. Oddly enough, most people compare this vehicle to Lexus, Honda Pilot, Acura and Toyota Highlander, all considerably more expensive vehicles. The Santa Fe, similarly equipped, is still priced lower than RAV 4 and CRV, which are both less substantial vehicles. Hyundai is a company that in a short period of time, has listened to its customers and actually built cars people want at an affordable price. They are beating Toyota at their own game by sticking to reliable, proven technologies without experimental gimmicks offering their customers a solid vehicle with a meaningful warranty.

  • quality control needed - 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe
    By -

    My new Hyundai has 4500 miles and has been in the shop five times. It is in the shop now (three days so far). It looks good, drives well, has horrible gas mileage (averages 15 m.p.g.).I have owned Ford Explorers, Jeep Grand Cherokees, two Acura MDX, and now this. There is a unfixable squeak on both front doors when your elbows tough them .

  • Love my new Santa Fe! - 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe
    By -

    I just bought the Santa Fe on July 1st after having my Toyota Corolla CE 2001 for seven years and the absolutely love the Santa Fe. With my trade in and all the taxes and tags I walked away with the car paying only $20,138.00! I feel like the Hyundai Santa Fe is the best kept secret out there. I have all the options that I wanted except for an aux plug, which I will have installed very soon. I think you get so much bang for your money why pay up $5000 more to get the same thing. Once again I am very happy with car and my only complaint is that mileage could be better.

  • Great Car! - 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe
    By -

    We bought our Santa Fe because we needed more room for a new baby. We like the built-in storage in the back and the fold down rear seats. Wish it had more storage space for toys, diaper bag, etc. but overall a great car! The only time its been back to the dealership has been for oil changes. I would highly recommend this vehicle to anyone because it has a lot of standard features you cant get from similar SUVs unless you pay a lot more.

  • Great Car for the Price - 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe
    By -

    Bought the Santa Fe in May just before my wedding, and it has been such a great car! Cargo room is huge without having a giant vehicle, its very comfortable, drives like a car, and feels very safe on the highway. Get great gas mileage, even with mostly city miles. Road trips get over 300 miles per tank. Compared to other SUVs with the same features and safety, it was so much more affordable. Id buy it again!

  • tire towing problems - 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe
    By -

    There is a definite front tire alignment defect on this vehicle. The tire warranty is bogus since no tire store will pro-rate remainder of warranty claiming it is from hitting too many potholes.

  • Worth the wait - 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe
    By -

    It was very hard to get the Santa Fe optioned as I wanted,I waited 8 months for one as close as poss.Now that I have been driving it almost a year I can say it was worth the wait.Its a fast truck that drives very well and has a controlled ride.The interior is black leather with graphite metallic exterior..Way cool.I have every option but the 3rd row.I looked at Honda,Toyota,Infiniti,Mazda and a few of the over priced premium brands,only to find a vehicle with far to many short comings.Even at 35,000.00 it had way more than they offered...and I saved thousands.I would buy it again only this time with Black int/ Black ext.Its a great truck.

  • Safety and Price Were Our Main Concerns - 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe
    By -

    We purchased our 2007 Santa Fe after several weeks of near obsessive on-line research. With two teen drivers, safety was our number one priority. The Santa Fe offers front, side and curtain airbags; anti-lock brakes and electronic stability control all standard. It also weighs more than many of its competitors. (It is a Top Pick for safety from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.) Price/Value was equally imortant to us. The CRV and RAV4, lacked many of the amenities that are standard on the Santa Fe and cant compare on the warranty and yet are priced thousands of dollars higher. We also happen to like the look of the newly designed Santa Fe so our decision was made.
