Excellent bang for the buck.
Pros: Handles well. Feels stable on the road.
Cons: Sticky accelorator which seems common on this car.
I bought the Santa Fe new and have been the primary driver. There have been no major repairs, only normal replacement of tires, batteries and accessories for the entire 7 years/90,000 miles. I plan to buy another.- Recommend this vehicle to a friend? Yes

2003 Hyundai Santa Fe - GLS (A4) AWD
Pros: The amount of space in the front between the driver and passenger.
Cons: Little things, like the fact that you can put your keys in your pocket and set off the alarm by bending over. The panic button could be set further in. The rear and front defroster buttons are in two totally different places on the console.
Advice: We are considering buying a 2004 for my husband since we have been so pleased with the performance of our 2003. We went to test drive an Explorer and Expedition yesterday and realized just how loaded the Santa Fe is in comparison.
When my Sentra finally gave out, my husband and I test drove the Santa Fe that we bought with only 8 miles on it. We had just test-driven an Explorer, so we were able to tell the difference between the truck and car frame. My husband had to sell me on the idea of buying a Hyundai since I was still stuck in the early 90s in my opinion of Hyundai cars. I have to admit that I was sold.
