What Car? says
For Its butch looks are impressive, as is its space, masses of equipment and great reliability
Against The all-new model, which was launched in 2006, is better in every respect
Verdict
The Santa Fe is a competent, well-equipped 4x4 for not very much money
Go for… 2.0 CRTD
Avoid… 2.4 petrol
- 1. There's plenty of room for five adults and their luggage
- 2. Mild excursions off-road are fine, but this is no Land Rover Freelander
- 3. The clutch on manual gearboxes could sometimes judder, but the problem was solved in mid-2003 by fitting a modified flywheel
- 4. Check for any signs of off-road abuse, especially underneath
- 5. Every model has stacks of equipment
