Replying to: steve_ (Apr 16, 2009 1:31 pm) "BRRR 2 COLD" "DIAMONDS" "MAPLE LEAFS" (why??) "-40 FOREVER" License plates are everywhere. I do not expect my economy to improve. However, I factored this in when deciding to buy a larger engine. After moving here, I NEEDED AWD at the very least. I have little use for the empty space of the back of a truck so that leaves SUV. I basically had to shop for what fit, not what I liked or could afford. Fortunately, the SF was all three. I also need something roomy enough for a 240 pound stature, 25 lb down parka, beaver hat, body armour and gun belt. I almost went for a CR-V as it was an awesome deal (I'll leave out the details). But, despite being Honda biased, I liked the SF much better. Plus, I wanted something that had depreciated a little already as I knew whatever I bought it would spend more time depreciating than it would on the road. That too was ultimately why the trade-off from good mileage of the CR-V to mediocre mileage of the SF was tolerable. I figured the price difference between the two more than offset the increase fuel costs b/c up here, I likely won't drive 5,000 kms per year (as opposed to 30,000 where I was from), so gas costs are not really significant.

I have a 2008 Santa Fe GLS. I wanted to purchase mudflaps for it and install them myself. Can anyone give me advice on how this is done? I wasn't sure if the mudflaps are mounted using the existing screw holes on the inside wheel well or are other modifications needed?

Replying to: js06gv (May 02, 2009 9:49 am) I guess I'd rather have the USB if I had to choose between that or upgrading from hubcaps. I don't get to see the hubcaps very often driving around, but having the ability to play mp3s is nice. |

Replying to: js06gv (May 02, 2009 9:49 am) Body color pillars instead of black. WHITE (body color) grill. Less black under cladding & now a straight line. http://www.leftlanenews.com/cars/image_popup/newgallery.php?postid=17430&defimag- e=http%3A%2F%2Fphotos.leftlanenews.com%2Fphotos%2Fimageresizeronfly%2FphpThumb.p- hp%3Fsrc%3D%2Fphotos%2Fcontent%2Fmay2009%2Fhyundai-santa-fe-new-3.jpg Way to turn back the clock 10-15 years AND cheap it up all in one fell swoop Hyundai! Oh yes, and kiss goodbye the 605w Infinity Logic 7 too.

Looks like to roof rails/rack are completely gone, too. If Hyundai wants to improve the brand image, this is not the way to go. They can't rely on the Genesis alone. Maybe we need a new Hyundai Assurance program - Assure us, Hyundai, that you're not going to ruin the Santa Fe in this economy. |
