well I bought it because it had one! Mitsubishi dealer lost the sale because he called me a dinosaur. Well tough for him.

Almost at 100 clicks now still going great nil issues to speak of body paint interior all ok. Motor box steer & wheels fine. ah I got new rubber at hmm 65K+ same brand as new and only about $230 each.
Great car, we tested the 2010 model and sure tis wee nicer but only just so.
Note started to teach eldest to drive last weeks and that pedal hand brake means ya have to let em go from day one…

we have 2008 3.3 petrol..absolutely love it..Have driven to Melbourne, all around Vic, most Of NSW..Not a problem. Cassette player is good for dvd players to have surround sound. With two growing boys this is a great car. We were looking for over a year for car and this one won on safety and comfort..

Hi I have a 2008 Santa Fe Elite with the 2.2 litre diesel. I towed a Coromal Caravan 457 pop top weighing about 1150 kilos up to Kununurra and back. No off road as we used my son’s 4wd to visit El Questro etc. We averaged 9.0litres per 100/km over the whole trip. We didn’t race and drove no faster than 90 km/hr. Some days when we were going in to a headwind the day’s average might drop to 11.5 but other days with the wind behind or abeam we got less than 9.0. It is a great car to drive and sits on 2000 revs at 100k/h when not towing on the freeway. It is now looking like a golf ball after our recent hail storm so it may be written off. I will buy another definitely. Great machine.

I would go for the Kluger to be on the safe side (reliability),plus cheaper service,more space and excellent resale value.

I own a 2007 Elite CRDi 5st auto purchased in 2008 and have to say that it is a great, great vehicle. The more I drive it, the more I like it.
It has been to QLD and Vic a number of times as well as around NSW, tows my 5m bow rider speed boat well on mud, on all sorts of out-of-the-way tracks and trails, and it has never felt anything less than stable. It’s very much at home on the highway too, and returns ridiculous fuel economy (best seen so far is 6.4l/100km), got to Newcastle from Broadwater at Surfers on about 2/3 of a tank full of diesel in traffic recently. Runs quiet, is comfortable, has a good view of the road, love the electric seats
Performance off the line is fairly good even with the boat in tow, .
The 7 seats have had some use , I am a large adult and the back seats were squeezy for me but OK for a quick run, the kids tried it OK but the fit for an adult is a bit tight, the family is all 6+ foot , the other seats are really comfortable I think it’s looks great too, and the blue lights are good on the eyes night driving .

Update we had a problem with our Santa Fe CRDi. A carboned up or sticky PCV or similar emmission valve caused the engine to run like water in the fuel briefly at start up. Once fault was id & cleaned all sorted by Hyundai service crew & very happy.

I suggest you read all the reviews before deciding what car you want.

This is a wonderful site. so helpful. Hubby and I are looking at a new car after down grading from a large 4wd we are now seeking something smaller. I had been told about the santa fe and told that they were a pretty good car. Had a look at one today and really liked it, priced at 42k though, is this too dear?
I dont think we would be buying one new, but would want something with very low kms. What is the best yr model to get if we are looking at a 2nd hand one?
