2004 Hyundai Santa Fe Base review from North America
"3.5 liter is the only one worth buying"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The one and only thing that has gone wrong with the car is that the car pulses at times, It vibrates severely. I took it to the dealer to get it fixed, but they couldn't get it to pulse, so they did nothing. I had the manager sit in it when it pulsed and he told me they would fix it. I haven't had the opportunity to drop it buy because they have no loaner and I have to work. (Pulses till this day.)
General comments?
This car has no pick-up.
Rides surprisingly smooth.
I get 20mpg on the highway, (very disappointed)
Good factory radio.
Great safety features.
Back seats recline. Why is Hyundai one of few that recline?
Very disappointing performance.
