Pros: Smooth, quiet ride, decent fuel economy, terrific seats
Cons: Handles like an SUV
Summary: Well, here it is, my first ever review of an SUV. The reason? Simple, as a class, I just don’t like them, and given the option, I would pay real money to uninvent both the SUV and the minivan. So if I am so biased, why and I reviewing one? Two ... read more

Pros: Nice handling, reliable, low maintenance, roomy
Cons: 3.5l '04 transmission lurches a bit (I think they have since fixed this)
Summary: I bought the 3.5L Santa Fe in 04 .....I totally did not expect the snap that that gas pedal can give. This car is zippy, reliable, smooth looking, and roomy. I love it! We shopped Ford, and Chevy (I was a Chevy girl) and neither of them could compete ... read more

Pros: Interior comfort
Cons: Seats, armrest
Summary: When I purchased my '04 Santa Fe new, I had already tested many others, from the Mazda Tribute to the Toyota Hylander. I got every bell and whistle available. No power seats, not even as an option. I understand this has been changed. In a very ... read more

Pros: Good-looking model, good on gas, plenty of space...
Cons: Transmission kick is a scary sign...
Summary: This big bad sucker is the next best thing to lots of other vehicles, but when you combine their best-ofs, it's hard to beat everything this one has to offer. It doesn't climb like a jeep, or pack like an SUV, or drive like a cruiser, but it's got its ... read more

Pros: Great Fuel Mileage - Awesome Warranty - Great Vehicle For The Money!
Cons: Leather Seats Are A Bit Stiff - No Electric Seats
Summary: Yep, I bought a Korean made SUV! Being the avid Mopar fan that I am, I never thought I'd buy something foreign. Of course with the cars today, nothing is manufactured totally in America. The parts come from all over the globe. The last trip my wife ... read more

Pros: Excellent value for the price!
Cons: There is no status to owning this vehicle, but who cares!
Summary: I remember when one of my best friends had a Hyundai Excel back in the 80s, and I had to drive it, let's just say it wasn't a great experience. From that time on, I was not interested in Hyundai. Well, in the last couple of years, another good friend ... read more

Cons: Fuel economy; long reach to controls; palpable shifting
Summary: I'm one of those SUV owners who actually needs all-wheel drive. I owned Subaru and Saturn sedans for six years, driving a country road at night in the snow, and was terrified of winter driving. (The Saturns were actually pretty good with snow tires on, ... read more

Pros: Roomy, car-like ride, features and warranty at an unbelievable price.
Cons: Gas Mileage depending on Engine choice.
Summary: The Hyundai Santa Fe, first introduced in 2001 has become a HUGE success for the korean automaker. At first there were waiting lists of buyers wanting to become owners, and 3 years later Santa Fe's are still selling like hot cakes. With both car and SUV ... read more

Cons: 2.7 Liter V6 engine, handling, ride, noise levels, fuel economy.
Summary: I just recently rented a 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe GLS 2WD equipped with the 2.7 Liter V6. I did think of the Santa Fe as a somewhat different kind of car, different than the majority of SUV's in terms of exterior and interior styling, as well as how it ... read more
