Hyundai Santa Fe----2.4 CDX (petrol)
Now you wonder why would I go for a 4x4 well try spending a winter in Livingston then you will see. Last January we had some major snow fall and because I work in Edinburgh I tend to drive in. Well I had a Hyundai Coupe and let me tell you that car did not like the snow . Looked out my window in the morning and the snow was about 6/7 inch deep.
Tried to get it out of the street with no luck so had to take the ... ...I went to my local Hyundai dealer as they have provided me with excellent service in the past and explained to them my dilemma. They suggested the 4x4 Santa Fe. So took it out for a spin and loved it straight away it got off it's mark quick enough this is important for me as I stay in a place with lots of roundabouts so pick off speed is important.
Took a bit of getting used to after having a 2ltr coupe as I could not throw it round bends as fast ...

Advantages: nice handling, all wheel drive Disadvantages: v6 all wheel drive drinks gas
...been temporarily assigned a black Hyundai Sante Fe for use in a construction company, I found that this vehicle can take a lot of blows.
One thing which worked for and against this vehicle was its all-wheel drive. It was simultaneously the strength and weekness of this vehicle because it affected its fuel economy but made for far better handling.
Because it was built - as far as I am concerned - on the basis of a car, its ride height was set rather ... ...my only problem with the Hyundai Santa Fe. Several of the Santa Fe's had to be sent back to the firm for servicing of their transmissions, since they were used in some rather unfriendly terrain.
Remember something, though: this is an SUV, and the towing hook at the back of the vehicle was not exactly encouraging when it came to towing a friend out of danger. But, it was very roomy and spacious, especially in the backseat, if you have a young football ...

Advantages: Good View, and seating position, 5 Year warranty Disadvantages: Fuel Consumption, slightly underpowered, clutch
I bought my car second hand 18 months ago. I still have 6 months warranty left due to the 5 year manufacturers warranty. I have had it serviced twice at the dealership from where I bought it. The first time I was pleasantly surprised - it was a lot cheaper than I expected it to be. The second time however, the price was nearly treble for about the same amount of work and I was not happy!!
I had complained about a lack of power especially when going ... ...wrong, apart from a small oil leak in the transmition that would be fixed under warranty - so I had to book another date. On leaving the garage the drive was worse than ever before, but I thought that they must have test driven it so things must be OK. Over the next two weeks things got worse until I had to call the AA. They informed the clutch had gone.
The garage investigated and discovered the gear selector fork had stuck, causing wear on the ...

Bought as new one during the last year of production. External design needs some time to adopt to it by some people.
Very good equipment, nice driving comfort and acceptable noise level for reasonable price, decent road handling, unexpectedly efficient 4x4 powertrain in heavy snow conditions but with good winter tyres. Quick and excellent heating abbilities, good manual A/C. Good lights, especially fog lights and blinking lights. Excellent internal ... ...to big seats and roomy interior. 4 members families can really enjoy on longer trips.
With carefull driving the consumption could be between 9-10 l/100km in light to medium traffic in city conditions (keep revs between 15 -25 what needs some self-discipline). Otherwise it can be slightly over 11l, what is the main objection. Open road consumption is bellow 10l, what is acceptable for full-time 4x4 drive. Lot of power over 4000 revs (for overtaking) ...

Advantages: All on road aspects of driving top class from morning start to end of journey. All round visibility for reversing, motorway driving, changing lanes in town also excellent. Looks inside and out like the top of the range. Holds it own with Jeep, Disadvantages: Harder on fuel than the average car but then that is to be expected.
Having spent 6 mths driving other SUV drove the Santa Fe. Just Love the drive and the look. Has ABS. Both Driver and Passenger Airbag as standard.
Really top class driving experience. The Santa Fe Corners extremely well. It also has a good turning circle. Drives great on the Motorway and in Town alike. Along Country Lanes proves not problems either. I find it very easy to parked whether in a space at the local supermarket or on street reverse parking) ... ...and ice conditions excellent.
Looks great both inside and out interior matches if not beats the other SUV's with a higher price tag.
Spacious boot space can accommodate whatever sports equipment you require. Along with those visits to the DIY. Whether in the driving seat or back seat you would never feel cramped. Spacious and comfortable you could not ask for more.
So far no repair bills. ...

Advantages: Value for Money,Reliability,Build Quality Disadvantages: Mid range torque is disappointing
18 Months ago I bought the Santa Fe as a replacement for a mondeo Estate, which gave me back ache. No more backache even on the longest Journeys. I am done 43000 miles with no problems, Even the tyres still have 4mm tread on them. The santa Fe has been used daily, on all road types, for a high sided car it is very stable. My wife loves the feeling of saftey the car gives. The warranty on the Santa Fe is excellent. If you are looking for an SUV and ...

Advantages: Reliable, packed with features and very stylish Disadvantages: Fuel consumption is bad
I purchased a Santa Fe two years ago, and have found it to be the best car I have ever had. It is reliable, stylish and a very good drive which includes all the comforts of a SUV but without the high price tag. It looks and feels the part. I am amased at all the "extra" supplied as standard such as air conditioning, CD player, electric windows, electric sunroof..the list is endless but the price remains low.
The only down side I have noticed so ...
