Nothing yet, the car is still new.

General Comments:

Fit and finish are good.

The Santa Fe is very quiet and comfortable.

The Santa Fe (with the larger V-6) tows our pop-up camper with ease. It has more horsepower and torque than our old Windstar with its 3.8 engine.

We saved more than $7000 by buying this vehicle, versus a comparably equipped Toyota Highlander.

I love the back hatch for hauling groceries, and for stowing gear for camping trips.

I love the fact that I can easily reach the spark plugs on the engine. I told my wife, no more minivans!!! After we had so many problems with the Ford Windstar, she finally listened to me.

The fuel tank is too small, it should hold at least 20 gallons of fuel for long trips.

I will update this review as time goes on. I expect this car to have much less problems than we had with our 1998 Ford Windstar. I loved to drive the Windstar, but it's dead now (Cash for Clunkers).

Nothing, it is still pretty new.

Super quiet.

Lots of power.

Can tow 3500lbs.

Good fit and finish.

Decent fuel consumption for its size.

Comfortable interior; me and my wife are both tall, there is tons of room.

Smooth transmission nice selectable automatic.

I like the looks of it.

Seems like good value to me, plus great warranty!!

Could use a bigger fuel tank to extend the range; gets about 500 kms to a tank if you're not being conservative.

Plus I always hit the mute button on the steering wheel by accident; not a big deal though.

We have had only ONE 'problem' in a year - the driver's seatbelt catch wouldn't always latch first time - but this was very minor and fixed at the first service.

General Comments:

The car pulls like a freight train - large gobs of torque from low down - which is what you want with a 7 seater SUV. The CRDi is the top of the range, and comes with everything - from leather seats to a cooled storage box.
