2002 Hyundai Santa Fe LX review from North America
"A great bargain priced luxury car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I noticed that the Hyundai and Santa Fe written on the back of the car had incurred some erosion. I called it in and the dealer was happy to replace it.
General comments?
So far this car has been everything I had expected. After looking at many different car-based SUV's and having my wife drag me to see the Hyundai based of safety ratings I walked out of the dealership with it.
The car is has a very nice "cockpit-like" interior which I really like, and some features that I have only seen in Mercedes and other high-end cars, such as automatic temperature controls and heated leather seats.
The exterior is very nice, curvy and contemporary, just the way I like it.
The power is somewhat lacking, but it doesn't really show in most driving.
Another thing that I found to be nice is that my hood pops up with pistons, and everything underneath the hood is nicely organized.
