Hyundai Santa Fe review

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

The SantaFe is super comfy, moves when required, and puts up with a lot of short commutes mainly in congested traffic situations. It is loaded with 'widgets' for the tech minded, and for it's size and weight, delivers great MPG (certainly a load better than the discovery we had previously). Servicing and parts are priced more in line with a Ford, and just don't compare with the very expensive running costs of the Discovery. Also, the space is just great. Perhaps loses out a bit to the Discovery on overall space and certainly is less 'luxurious' inside. But for more than £20K less than the price of a Disco, and with more toys! I wouldn't go back to Land Rover

How reliable do you find the car?

The car has been used in a city centre environment, and even so, with many short congested trips, it has not had a single fault. it has to have a run once a month to keep the exhaust filter clean.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

I wanted an SUV that was very comfortable over the UK's rough roads, and I chose the SantaFe because of it's comfort. It also has a very strong diesel engine, which is ULEZ compliant, and more space than I could ever want. Great car, with many features that you normally only find in SUV's costing 20K more.
