| I recently purchased a new 07 Sante Fe and noticed that when traveling on the highway going about 65, I feel a cold draft coming from my driver's door panel. The air seems to be coming from the door lock button and the power window switches. I draft is so noticeable and strong that I have to set the heater fan on full to get warm. I live in Salt Lake City, and it was about 25 degrees this morning andI couldn't get warm. Is this an isolated problem that I'm only having? Isn't there any insulation in the door panel? I had a 2004 Sante Fe which I dearly loved but put too many miles on it too fast. I never had any problems with drafty door panels. sarge | |
Edmunds stated that the Azera leather did not hold up well and has just obtained a Veracruz in leather for long-term test. For those of you who have had the SF with leather for awhile, would you please give me your opinion on how well it is holding up. I am considering beige in a 2008. Also, does the beige leather in 2008 come with dark carpeting? Thanks

I'm about to purchase the 2008 SF Limited and was excited about the leather...until I noticed that the 2008's no longer came with the gray leather that the 2007's came with. I didn't want beige for the fear of visible dirt and stains over time and dog hair from our black lab. I didn't want black because of the heat it may produce in the summer. So I'm looking for input anyone may have on the wear and tear and the look of the beige leather vs. the black leather. If I can't have the gray, my next choice would be black but my husband thinks the beige with wood trim looks much classier than the black. Any thoughts??! Thanks!

Replying to: jimsist (Feb 04, 2008 1:24 pm) I'd like to protect the interior against staining, but I'm not sure what route to take. I guess the cheapest thing to do would be to take a can of scotch guard to it myself. Is it worth taking the car to a shop that does detailing to have it treated, or should I just save my money? I haven't begun to shop around for price quotes yet on this sort of thing, but I figured someone on here would have some experience with this.

Replying to: 12pawz (Feb 04, 2008 12:22 pm) After nearly 9 months, 7,000 miles, and a full California summer, I have no regrets. Between the deep-tinted windows and the outstanding air conditioner, heat simply isn't an issue. One other thing - upon learning that the black and gray interiors came with dark gray "woodgrain" trim rather than brown, my first reaction was one of disappointment. Now that I've grown accustomed to it, though, it looks fine to me.
