2003 Hyundai Santa Fe FWD from North America - Comments

"Great value for the price!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Absolutely nothing has gone wrong with this vehicle. It was purchased in February 2003, and it has performed admirably since I brought it home.

The only thing I should have made note of was that the engine was only 2.7 liter, which is a bit small for a vehicle weighing in at 3700 lbs. If you want a Santa Fe, get the 3.5 liter engine. The 2.7 does OK, but don't expect quick pick-up or passing ability. This was not a priority with me originally, however during the past 8 months I do notice that I miss it.

General comments?

I would recommend Hyundai to anyone looking for a new vehicle.

The Waterloo dealership had exceptional staff and it was by far the most comfortable auto dealership we visited.

It would be nice if more options were available on the FWD model.

I would no recommend this car or any other Hyundai to anyone not even the devil himself. UNRELIABLE, UNSAFE, PRICE IS GREAT, but NOT IF YOU SPEND MOST OF YOUR TIME BROKE DOWN ON MAJOR HIGHWAYS. REPLACING AN ENGINE 3 TIMES ISN'T TOO GOOG!

Obviously, you work for honda or toyota.

Obviously, grammar and spelling are not that important it seems. Hyundai vehicles are good. They must work for KIA.

I heard you cannot really leave the road with a Santa Fe or a Tucson since it is built on a car's frame. Is this true? Does it have 4X4?
