2002 Hyundai Santa Fe review from North America
"Best vehicle I have ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced a fan belt at approximately 11300 kilometers.
Other than that one thing the vehicle has been excellent.
General comments?
I am extremely happy with my Santa Fe.
I would recommend the vehicle to any of my friends.
It is very sporty and has a great look.
Drive like a dream.
Excellent range of options for the money.
Looked at other makes, Ford Escape, Jeep Liberty, and Toyota Rav4. None of them could hold a candle to the Santa Fe. In value or looks.
