2004 Hyundai Santa Fe LX-4WD review from North America
"2004 Hyundai Santa Fe - Happy Motoring"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No problems as of yet.
General comments?
Well, I should start by saying that I found my Hyundai the same way I found the car it was replacing. Cruising the dealer lots looking at stickers. I was in the need to replacing a very relialbe 1997 Chrysler Cirrus; and I found myself looking for a Hyundai Tucson. The problem was, none were available with the features I wanted. Leather seats, etc. I shopped other brands and found the best overall deal was going to be on the Santa Fe. In all honestly I'm shocked by my luck again. I found a very nice (if somewhat cheap looking) reliable vehicle.
The only areas of concern has been the turns during rain. The truck seems to slide to the side a little more than I'd like. It just sends a gentle reminder to slow down; or use the handy Shift-Tronic "gate". Either that or it needs better tires. I've replaced them, and don't feel much safer. Only time will tell.
