My car has 80,000 miles and has never needed repairs other than to replace the front brakes. The interior is well made and has no tears, or imperfections for being a car that is 15 years old. All electronic aspects of the car are in great working condition, for example, air, heat electronic windows, and stereo. This car gets good gas mileage so it is great in this economy. Although it is a 4 cylinder it runs like a 6 cylinder, smooth on the road. The Santa Fe is very comfortable and roomy to ride in. This car is a reliable vehicle compared to other vehicles I have purchased in the past. The Hyundai Santa Fe has a stylish appearance and nice deep blue color. Power steering is smooth and this car gets great traction on the roads if there are wet roads, or even winter weather. A unique component of this car is that the spare tire is located underneath the car. The seats collapse down making it easy to transport large items in the car. Roomy dashboard compartment, flip down mirrors, and cup holders are added assets of the car. A very roomy trunk is wonderful when traveling. Using the trunk with the seats folded down can fit a dresser, or even an appliance.

This car has been rolling for almost 17 years. I've driven across the country twice and had no mechanical issues along the way. It still gets very good gas mileage even with 170,000 miles on it. The ride is very comfortable. And I didn't have to put it in the shop very often.
