The air conditioner did not work when I received the vehicle. I took it back a few days later and waited 4 hours for the dealer to connect it properly.
There is a whistling-tinkling sound coming from the driver side mirror. It is something to do with a gasket, I believe.
My Sante Fe rides even smoother and handles better than the 2 Honda Accord Coupes I've owned since 1988.
The grey interior that came with my breezy blue Sante Fe is a bit dull.
Overall, it's a great vehicle with a fabulous body design and I love it.
This review is inacurate.
The Sante Fe does not get very good mileage. They claim to get 24 mpg around town. Or over 11 litres used per 100 kilometers.
I drive very close to 2200 km. per month I burn about 330 litres of fuel (the price of which has fluctuated, mostly upward, in price) by my calculations, I am using about 15 litres of fuel in 100 km. Nowhere near the economy Hyundai advertises. Are other manufacturers this deceptive?
The more I look at my Sante Fe, the more I have to question what I was thinking at the time I signed the papers to lease this bizarre looking thing. The bad fuel economy reinforces this regret.
"My Sante Fe rides even smoother and handles better than the 2 Honda Accord Coupes I've owned since 1988."
Which planet was that on. have you ever tried going through a bend / curve / corner in your Santa Fe? Its center of gravity is easily 3 feet high! Even with those huge wheels are only just enough to keep it on the road.
