2004 Hyundai Santa Fe Base review from North America
"A pleasure to own and drive"
General comments?
This SUV has a remarkably smooth and quiet ride.
The front seats are very comfortable and the back seat is quite roomy for a small SUV.
It is a high seated SUV.
It has nice standard features like driver and passenger side impact air bags. The headlights turn off automatically if you leave them on. The doors automatically lock when you start the car.
There is ample cargo space and a convenient window that opens in the back for easy access to the cargo space area.
The only negative is the pick up on the 2.4L can be a bit sluggish when the A/C is on.
All in all, I love my Hyundai Santa Fe. I have never been happier with any other vehicle I have ever owned.
