2005 Hyundai Santa Fe GLS review from Jordan
"A great car for people who does not care about Brand Name"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
- Great performance
- Very reliable vehicle
- Gives moderate gas mileage
- stiff ride; yet this gives better handling on corners.
The car with now for almost a year, I drove pajero, prado, CRV and outlander, Santa fe give you a very nice performance compared to other engines with mostly good gas mileage. but the main hassle is the ride stiff and the BF goodrich tires noise despite their long life.
Its fun to drive, responsive and handles good and accelerate well, but don't expect high top speed more than 185 km/h.
And the most thing I like is that its accepts modifications very easily, which gives many options to distinguish your Santa Fe.
