Hyundai Santa Fe Change Vehicle

"The Santa Fe soars up mountain highways. It handles really well. I like the back windows too--I can see out of them."

"Noisy when driving in traffic"

"It rides like an old truck."

"The car is great on all subjects"

"excellent power and excelleration"

"It has the 3.5 V6 engine. It has extremely good acceleration and handles very well."

"For a 4 bagger it's quick"

"The acceleration is decent, however, the Santa Fe feel too light and tingy for a crossover"

"There are blind spots caused by the back seat backs that make it more difficult to back up as compared to other vehicles I've driven (i.e. sedans and mini-vans)."

"4 Cylinder engine is adequate but not over powerful."

"This is a front wheel drive car. When you "jump" on the accelerator, the front end literally "fishtails", because the drive power is uneven to each front wheel. In some cases, this could cause the driver to lose control. My 2003 Mazda Tribute also has front wheel drive, and actually more horsepower than the Hyundai. However, the full power acceleration is even to both front wheels, and the car is much more stable..."

"accelerates with ease."

"The initial acceleration is touchy. The Santa Fe does not accelerate smoothly. No matter how carefully you try to accelerate, it has a tendency to "leap" off the starting line. Annoying. It also has a tendency to roll after putting it in park. We took it to the deal or and they did not seem to see it as an issue. I have never had a car roll this much after putting it it park."

"The power drivers seat is great. The lumbar support is perfect."

"There is a significant a punt of rod noise when driving. The air conditioning works but it never gets cold to the point where I need to turn the air off or down. It also takes a long time to het up in the winter."

"Unless you are the driver, this is the most uncomfortable vehicle I have ever ridden in. Seats are hard, head rest is like a rock. At highway speeds there is a high-pitched squeal like a hearing aid that needs to be turned down. As a back seat passenger, it feels like Mr. Toad's Wild Ride and there is no leg room for the tall person in the back. On the plus side, the heated seats are quite nice."

"A bit noisy. A bit short and top heavy but has not been a problem."

"There is nothing bad about the Hyundai cars this is our third one and we loved all of them never a problem and my 2004 looks and runs like new. One also has to maintain a car to keep it in good running condition"

"Everything about the car is good except for the ride...its terrible. You feel every bump in the road, even small ones; which is why i wont purchase this or recommend it to a friend."

"The Santa Fe ride feels somewhat like a truck"

"seats seem a little to firm to the point of not being very comfortable"

"Climate control is too controlling. I cannot seem to have fresh air flowing without having to worry about what temperature setting is. For example, when entering into a rain shower that drops the outside temperature, the system will start blowing warmer air to reach the previous temperature setting. I cannot seem to disengage the temperature setting."

"Front strut springs started making noise while turning, fixed myself with some lubrication."

"I bought it used so I got a fairly new vehicle that will retain its value for a reasonable price"

"Mileage was inaccurately portrayed."

"Economical"

"I always liked how it looked but it is still looking good even after 4 years. It is holding up very well."

"This was the sell-off of the old style hyundai Santa Fe, I much prefer the newer style"
