"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.

The Sante Fe is a very good vehicle, and very reliable. Tires can make a very BIG difference in wet cornering, and I highly recommend spending a little extra for some high-end all weather tires. They will make your Sante Fe much safer in wet weather.

Thanks for the tip!

I now how 102,000 miles on it, and I still LOVE my Hyundai.

The tire swapout did help, somewhat. I think I need wider tires on it. I dunno.

But I'm still trouble free - and loving it!
