#117 of 2635 Thanks by bharrell Jan 26, 2004 (2:46 pm)
Thanks to both of you for the advice so far. We are leaning toward the larger engine with FWD. Our kids have to approve of anything we buy, so we still have to take another test drive and start negotiating if they like the Santa Fe.   Jaserb, I find it interesting also that you would be thinking about the MPV. We have loved both of our MPV's but with one child getting ready to drive (in May) and another one not that far off, we are ready to leave the minivan scene behind. The times we are together in a vehicle are becoming fewer and further between every day. Make sure you check out the message boards about the MPV-there are transmission problems in some of the models. We have had only one problem in 40,000 miles. It is great when your kids are younger, but keep in mind that as they start to get older, it is a small van. Leg room in the 2nd row is an issue for my son and he is just 5'4".I would definitely get traction control and rear air and the larger wheels if they still offer 2 sizes. The ride is much better.
#118 of 2635 I'm on the other end... by jaserb Jan 27, 2004 (8:44 am)
with a 2-yr old girl and another kid on the way. We figure the Santa Fe will be plenty big for two kids, but maybe a little tight for three. We're hoping to be able to keep the Santa Fe long enough to use up the powertrain warranty but we're not sure when/if we'll be getting number three. Of course, this could be twins which would change the whole situation! We like the MPV because it's very space efficient for its size and my wife hates driving big vehicles - she made me promise to never make her drive a Suburban. She still loves the Santa Fe to pieces and it's held up really well so far.   -Jason
#119 of 2635 Good price? by bigkahunafl Feb 17, 2004 (10:19 am)
I am looking to buy a 2.7 GLS FWD with the following: accessory group 4 (ABS) tow hitch front and rear mudguards cargo trays   The local dealer is quoting me a price $20,100 before taxes and title.   Sounds like a good deal. Any comments?
#121 of 2635 In the market for a Santa Fe by khrn Feb 28, 2004 (6:52 am)
I live in LI NY and I am looking at the GLS 3.5 with sunroof.I am considering the FWD instead of AWD and would like to get your opinion on this matter. I recently read in Consumers that the FWD doesnt handle well in the rain. Has anyone encountered this? Also I was quoted a price of 23,000 everything included how does this sound? Thanks for any help you can give me.
#122 of 2635 khrn from Long Island.... by raygur1957 Feb 28, 2004 (5:42 pm)
My husband is also in the market for a Santa Fe and we were quoted 23K for an LX AWD model, minus the sunroof from Atlantic Hyundai in West Islip. Which dealership did you go to? We were quoted the same price at Hustedt Hyundai in Centereach.   Also my husband works with someone who owns an FWD and she does not have any problem handling the car in the rain.   Hope this helps.
#123 of 2635 Santa Fe by khrn Feb 28, 2004 (6:11 pm)
Thanks raygur1957 for the info. I too went to Atlantic Hyundai and that was the price quoted me for the GLS model. You seem to have gotten a better deal, which is great. Have you checked out the info on the message board, regarding Santa Fe problems? What are your thoughts? Its such a big decision buying a car, and with all this information available, it can make you a little nuts. Thanks for your help.
#124 of 2635 khrn..re: Santa Fe by raygur1957 Feb 28, 2004 (6:34 pm)
It all can make you crazy we know. My husband previously had a Hyundai Accent (80K) and currently has an Elantra (19K) both problem free cars. All the makes have their problems. It's all the luck of the draw I guess. We were so happy with the Hyundai products we bought a Kia Sedona for me, which turned out to be a real lemon. You just never know....even the most "reliable" makes produce their share of lemons.
#125 of 2635 khrn..forgot to mention by raygur1957 Feb 28, 2004 (6:46 pm)
The difference in our quotes probably is because since we are current Hyundai owners, we are eligible for the $1000 loyalty rebate which apparently ends Mar 1.   Good Luck to you.
#126 of 2635 Great time to buy! by bigkahunafl Apr 15, 2004 (3:33 am)
$1,500 rebates on the Santy
