I have been looking for an LX for months... Finally found one coming off the boat in 2 weeks. Supply is not meeting demand

After 18000 miles so far so good. The only problem was when I filled up with gas I kept filling until it wouldn't barf anymore, or some would say overfilled. The warning light in dash came on. Upon check at service dep't the computer said gas tank vapor check valve stuck. I wonder why? It was replaced. Don't overfill.

Santa Fe All The Way

I bought my Sante Fe June 2001. I love it. I haven't had any trouble out of it. It's very dependable and drives great. The mileage is reasonable for an SUV 19/26. The seating is quite comfortable, with many settings. With its' 4-wheel independent suspension makes it handle smoothly.

Santa Fe 2WD 6 Cyl

Wonderful vehicle! We are enjoying it very much. Lots of muffler clearance on our country lane way. Warranty is excellent. Lots of zip; handles well and is very comfortable and roomy compared with the others we looked at. We spent a few months on research and reviews and were not mislead. The V6 has more power than we need perhaps, as the speedometer is continually sneaking up past the speed limits! A flat surface on the dash board would be helpful, or cup holder in the glove box perhaps? There isn't a spot to set a fast food tray down so you can distribute the burgers etc. to the family.

I would normally say that the Santa Fe is a great SUV for the money, but that's not true. It's a great SUV. Period. That it's inexpensive is a bonus! While some may complain of it's "unimpressive powertrain," what they're complaining about is the fact that this is not a race-SUV, or an off- roader. If you want off-roading, go elsewhere; this is a family vehicle that can handle trails of the NORMAL variety. It can handle soccer games, radio controlled planes, and trips from Grandma's at Christmas. I enthusiastically recommend this vehicle!
