I looked at so many other midsize SUV's and for the price you can't beat this one. Had different dealers looking for just the right one. I love everything about this Santa Fe. Wish I had bought it sooner.

Love My New Santa Fe LX 4WD

Just bought a Santa Fe LX 4WD with V6 engine. It's great to drive and the most comfortable of the small SUVs. My husband is 6'7" & weighs 250. This is the roomiest small SUV. Forester was the smallest.He couldn't drive it. Also drove Jeep Liberty, Saturn VUE (nice), & RAV4. I wanted a RAV4 or a Jeep, but this car beat the others out. Didn't try Honda CR-V (couldn't wait, which also ruled out Saturn, but we still liked the Santa Fe better). This car is loaded. There are virtually no options on the LX. Bbought for $550 over invoice. Gas mileage is OK (at least as good as my '95 Taurus wagon). I love this car. Plan to drive it 100K mi.

Santa Fe - excellent

I have had the Santa Fe for 7 months now with about 13K on it. Just an excellent SUV. Ride is great - room for 4 big guys and golf bags. I folded the seats and put 30 bags of bark mulch in it. The ride did not suffer at all. The radio/cd/tape player is very good - I changed the speakers and that is all you needto do for great sound. It is quiet and draws a lot of complements at the mall parking lots. Finish is very good - heater is excellent, auto temp control works very good - many 90+ degree days this summer. heated seats, and mirrors. Just an overall great SUV - oh! the AWD through 18 inchs of snow - no problem at all.

I'm Hooked!

Being in the market for an SUV for a long time, I looked around and test drove quite a bit. For the money and standard features the Santa Fe is unbeatable. Better comfort and roominess than it's competitors and I think a much better looking vehicle inside and out. Unless you are willing to spend another 10 to 15 thousand dollars, this is the truck for you. This is my second Hyundai purchase (bought my wife a 2002 Elantra GT) in less than a year, love 'em both!
