2002 Hyundai Santa Fe LX review from North America
"Too good to be true"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Many of the belts broke after 5,000 miles or less.
The performance of the vehicle lacks very much... it was very poor.
The seats have worn quite quickly.
General comments?
At first the vehicle seemed to be too good to be true. It definitely was. It was not reliable, or powerful. It was getting weaker after time.
Sometimes the car would just shut off when on the highway leaving me stranded sometimes.
Turning is smooth though.
