2001 Hyundai Santa Fe GLS review from Australia and New Zealand
"Covers all the bases"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong!
Did make a noise, like worn CV joints, around 90,000km, which disappeared about 93,000km.
General comments?
Excellent reliable vehicle, which has been a great all-rounder vehicle for us. Does everything well. Intend to keep it for at least the next 5 years.
Expensive to change the cam belt, as the water pump is changed at the same time for preventative maintenance.
