Excellent SUV for the money

I did a lot of looking and research before I bought my 2004 Hyundai. I've owned Broncos,Bronco IIs,S-10s and my last SUV was an Explorer. I was impressed by the ride, the amenities and that fantastic warranty. I love driving this car, and in our Minnesota winters, the car handles like a dream with TCS and AWD. I'm not crazy about my gas mileage, but all things considered ,I have one fine automobile, and am planning on buying the new Hyundai SUV due out in 2006.

From changing out of a Honda Accord (4cylinder) into the 6 Cylinder Santa Fe is just no comparison. The Santa Fe outperforms the Accord in all areas. I've never been more satisfied with a car, than I am with the Santa Fe.

The one and only thing I wish this vehicle had was a little more pep. But dollar for dollar I think it is one of the best out there. I drove most all in this group before purchasing.

This is my first 4x4 and I am very pleased with its performance. We just had a foot of snow and I was able to pull right out of my parking spot without using a shovel. It handles very well and with the leather package and CD player I feel like I'm in a luxury vehicle.

My review is based on my past experience with cars. I currently drive a Lexus LX470, Accord, Lexus LS, and a Audi 90 Q (the audi I actually gave up a long time ago and it sits in my garage). As for qulaity, from the short time I had it is SUPERB ! I thought only the Japanese could deliver this level of quality. My first Korean import and I am happy though I do worry about the significant portion from Canada (bad experiences in the past with Canadian parts). The fit and finish is right up there with the rest of my cars. I would not mind paying for extra safety features such as side impact air bags and a safety cage. A XM radio with USB MP3 feature would be great. Less Curves.

We traded a Subaru Forester which we liked very much, but the Santa Fe's power, style, size and other features for the money made it irresistable. The quality is outstanding, and we appreciate the effort Hyundai has put into this SUV, to make it a superior purchase for us. John and Ellen Rumbach

I HAVE ONLY OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR A VERY SHORT TIME. HOWEVER, SO FAR I HAVE FOUND THE VEHICLE TO BE VERY EASY TO HANDLE, IT DRIVES VERY SMOOTHLY, I FEEL AS THOUGH I AM STILL DRIVING A CAR INSTEAD OF AN SUV. I DO FEEL THE VEHICLE BURNS ALOT OF GAS. I WOULD STILL RECOMMEND IT TO A FRIEND. NOT A BAD DEAL FOR THE PRICE, THE SOUND SYSTEM COULD BE IMPROVED.

It is very comfortable and fun to drive. My only problem with it is that it doesn't have the power, the get up and go that I wish it did. I really do love the Santa Fe though, it's probably the most comfortable and fun to drive of any vehicle I've owned.
