No problems at all.

We bought this vehicle in April with 0% financing for 60 months. In addition I received an owner loyalty discount of $1000, bringing total price, including destination, to $22,200. The fit and finish, Monsoon sound system, and comfort levels are top notch.

We averaged 25 MPG on a round trip from Omaha to Las Vegas this summer and were driving, on the average, 12-hour days with no complaints from my teen daughters in the rear seat.

I have owned several large cars over the years and with the exception of my 94 Lincoln Continental, this is perhaps the best highway vehicle I have owned.

I currently have two Hyundais. I have a review posted on my 99 Sonata here as well. I know there are other makes out there with stellar reputations, but don't count this manufacturer out.

Faults:

No problems so far.

General Comments:

The car has some zip to it, I had read the 2002's were underpowered. The 3.5L is a quiet, smooth runner and accelerates acceptably. I wouldn't consider any of the other smaller displacement engines offered. Transmission shifts are almost unnoticeable, and the ride is surprisly smooth.

The front seating is comfortable, control placement functional. The rear seating area, while not as roomy as the Mercury Villager we traded in, seats my 3 children comfortably. Three adults would be cramped in the rear seats. The rear storage area is spacious enough for most grocery getting and light hauling.

Overall, the Sante Fe was the best value for the price of all the small SUV's we considered. Combined with the fantastic warranty we couldn't pass it up.

Calendar is off by 8 hours.

Noise in vent when air is on high.

General Comments:

I test drove every SUV in this class and the Hyundai is by far the best value for the money.

I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Faults:

I've had no problems thus far.

General Comments:

I bought a 2001 Santa Fe back in July '01,and loved it so much I just traded it in for 2003 Pine Green LX.

I think this is the best vehicle on the road for 22K.

I think these big tanks that litter our roads are an annoyance, and everyone should own a SF!

Faults:

I have had no problems, all is in perfect working order.

General Comments:

This is one of the best cars I have ever owned. Style, comefort and reliability are the plus of this car, as well as the numerous features i.e. transmission cooler, tow package with accessories and even a first aid kit. The warranty is second to none. It turns on a dime, and is comfortable as well as stylish.
