2001 Hyundai Santa Fe GL review from North America
"Performance, looks, safety -- the Sante Fe has it all"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The air conditioner did not work when I received the vehicle. I took it back a few days later and waited 4 hours for the dealer to connect it properly.
There is a whistling-tinkling sound coming from the driver side mirror. It is something to do with a gasket, I believe.
General comments?
My Sante Fe rides even smoother and handles better than the 2 Honda Accord Coupes I've owned since 1988.
The grey interior that came with my breezy blue Sante Fe is a bit dull.
Overall, it's a great vehicle with a fabulous body design and I love it.
