Apparently Toyota has also cast an eye at the Hyundai company as being a potential LARGE threat! Interesting.

Replying to: nortsr1 (Aug 27, 2007 5:17 am) As I see it, CR-V Advantage - better fuel economy - aux audio port - better handling (not so tipsy) - 2nd row seats can slide - optional Navi with backup camera - driver window auto-up Santa Fe - power drivers seat with lumbar support * - dual zone climate control * - smooth and powerful V6 - optional 3rd row seats * will be available in 2008 models on CR-V The other stuff is mostly subjective (looks) or equivalent (safety, features, and to a lesser extent interior which an edge to the CR-V, although the leather on the Santa Fe seems like it's "better").

Replying to: mpuzach (Aug 27, 2007 1:54 pm) While the CR-V's interior is very nice, it's "over-rated". I found the Santa Fe's leather much more appealing. CR-V also lacks an intermittent wipers on the rear and wiper heats on the front. 2nd row not folding flat isn't an issue for me as the second row will be occupied by baby seats and will never be folder. This leaves the usable cargo space about the same in both vehicles. My current cars are the Honda Fit and Acura RSX, so you can see why I would think that the Santa Fe is a bit tipsy. OTOH, I'm kind of tired of engine and road noise on long trips and wouldn't mind having a nice, smooth hwy cruiser.

Replying to: mpuzach (Aug 27, 2007 9:24 pm) You can really feel the weight during quick lane changes, and body sway on tight on-ramps. But the steering feel was excellent and the engine was a delight. |

Replying to: mpuzach (Aug 27, 2007 9:24 pm) What's the real-world MPG on the Santa Fe?
