Hyundai Santa Fe is a solid SUV choice sporting a well-designed interior, lots of safety features, excellent crash-test scores, competitive prices, optional third-row seating and an outstanding warranty. Santafe is a 4-door suv vehicle. Totally 7 passenger can seat in it. I have driven this car past one year before. While i'm saw at a first time, I decided to buy this car as early as possible. I feel so happy to see and drive this car since the stylish and performance is good. It achieves 17-mpg in the city and 24 -mpg on the highway. 5-speed manual transmission is standard, and a 4-speed transmission with overdrive is optional. It is equipped with a standard 2.7 ltrV6, 185-horse power engine. This car is very beautiful in exterior design and interior design. The air-conditioning in this is very good. When we want to go a long trip, this car is most suitable for all the persons who are travelling. Since more spacious in all areas. My family also like this so much. The cost for this car is worthful. It is very amazing the quality for the price. It is based on Hyundai's Sonata platform, whiche isn't a bad thing. It has MacPherson strut front suspension and a trailing-arm independent rear suspension that provide a sedan like ride. Obviously, with such a softly spring top-heavy vehicle handling is not its forte. The ride is more comfort. The new colour, Canyon Red, is attention getting to say the least, but it seemed perfect for this much improved it, as it shouted, "Look at me", whiche is what Hyundai needs more of in a competitive market. I think that Women like the look of Santa Fe more than men. It has a mixture of strange curves and bulbous fenders that make it look like its designer had a love affair with a French curve. We get a lot of standard features such as traction control and ABS in Santa Fe. The cupholders were excellent, the seats were comfortablem and side visibility was also good. There was plenty of places for storage, but don't mistakes this for a large SUV. I feel it is well mannered on the highway and fairly accommodating on less well maintained roads. There is a fair amount of wind noise from around the door seals, especially when the wind is coming from the side. Santa Fe comes with front and side impact airbags, power windows, alarm system, four-wheel disc brakes and outboard occupants headrests. The safety scores for the SantaFe was very good except the only thing the bumper results were poor. It is available in either a front-wheel or all-wheel drive vehicle. The AWD system is electronically controlled, automatically sending power to the wheels maintaining the best traction. In government crash testin, the Santa Fe received a perfect five stars for driver and passenger protection for both front and side impacts. The additional features in this SUV is automatically headlights, leather seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, Electronic stability control, Remote Bootm, Remote Fuel Filler, Rear Defogger, Rear armrest with cup holder, Rear AC Vent.
