2004 Hyundai Santa Fe CRTD review from UK and Ireland
"Excellent!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
This is a first class car. We use it for towing our caravan (1208kg) which it does superbly in all respects and gives about 30 mpg towing and 38 mpg solo. Excellent on farmer's wet fields even with the caravan attached.
The space is wonderful with plenty of room every where.
The turbo-diesel engine is quiet in the cab and responsive. I had to top the oil up at 6k miles.
Service costs could be high. The dealer quoted £380 for the first service. My local garage using Hyundai parts and service schedule charged me £182. The biggest item was the pollen filter at £38! (In the EU you can have your car serviced any where as long as the service conforms to the manufacturer's schedule.)
