Have a 2006 hyundai santa fe, 70,000 miles clutch and flywheel failed, owned from new, hyundai did not want to know and it cost us e2000 to fix, will never buy again as was always fully serviced with hyundai. It is a known problem.

Would have been a lovely car if it wasn't for the gearbox trouble...

Build quality is excellent. Servicing is relatively cheap 5 Year warranty is great.
Doesn't fall apart like friends Territory. smooth and powerful 3.3V6 Quiet and comfortable
Smooth and Powerful 3.3 V6 mates well with 5 speed autoElite has lots of features that the more expensive competition leave as optionsFuel economy is great 10.5 l/100km for such a large vehicle
Foot operated parking brake ( I prefer lever park brakes)

We have had two Honda CRV's so far and when the time came for a new car we didn't even consider the latest model CRV due to our poor experience with Honda . The Santa Fe is great value for money, solid and safe.
Quality, consumption, seven seats, well appointed (CRDi Elite) fat gobs of torque from turbo diesel.
Just the fake woodgrain.

Excellent car that we gladly recommend to our friends. Great on Fuel and easy to park and to navigate. We enjoy it overall as a family car that is also able to be used for professional use. Large spacey car that doesn't make you feel cramped yet very easy to park and reverse if needed. Very quiet to drive and have yet to find a blind spot in it while driving!
Quiet and Easy to Drive. Excellent to park. Conversation mirror is a real benefit to watching the kids in the back without taking your eyes of the road.
Wish it had a net in the back

We compared this with the Pajero, Captiva, Prado and Kluger at the time and we could not go past it for value for money.
Easy to drive, easy on fuel, easy on the eye and easy on the road.
Diesel sometimes hesitates when wanting full power

We have the 2010 in black, not only does it look great, drives great, has an almost european style to it, its a pleasure to drive, with 7 seats it will allow our kids to bring friends home when they are older, had it for 5 months and had no problems yet, its a worthy investment!
Awsome Car, I think I am in love!Great fuel economy, roomy, looks great, drives a great, good for kids, with plenty space to spare
I wish that the Bluetooth came standard, had to pay an extra $500 after we picked it up

Hi, I'm curious about the width of the car? Can you fit 3 carseats in one row comfortably?

It took me a long time and a lot of research to settle on the car and we are absolutely in love with our Santa Fe. We have the 2010 SLX Auto. You will not find a more powerful, more fuel efficient, better value for money car in this price range.

I cannot sing it's praises enough.
Absolutely everything. Exellent drive, great power, good fuel consumption, great looks. 145KW and 467NM!!! Hooray for Diesel! 6th and 7th seats are some of the best avaiable - compared with other SUV's which have token kiddy seats.
I struggle to find negatives about it, but some really really minor ones are: - The key and remote on the SLX is a bit cheap (like it belongs to a hatchback) - The radio/aircon display is a bit dated- No rear rolling cargo-blind

Don't think I can help you on this question.
I always just take my motor vehicles to a mechanic if I have any problem.
Never had any with my Sante Fe.
