Parting is such sweet sorrow, or so the saying goes. In this case, it’s not that sweet because I’ve grown fond of the big Hyundai. Sure, the Santa Fe had its ups and downs, but on the whole, the car has been like a faithful pet; always eager to please, never giving up on you, [...]

We’ve just been racking up the kilometres on our long term tester, the Santa Fe Elite CRDi. We’ve passed the 8500km mark, and with no real dramas, there’s not a lot to report.

2009 Hyundai Santa Fe CRDi Long Term Review update
Well it’s been four weeks instead of the usual three, what with the whole Full Throttle trip and all, but the Santa Fe hasn’t been locked up in a garage, with a forlorn look across its grille.
No, the good wife has been getting some use out of [...]

GA_googleFillSlot(”HyundaiBrochure_textlink_slot”);
It’s probably one of the great secrets of the Hyundai line-up. The Santa Fe has been steadily increasing in numbers on our roads, without much advertising and fanfare, either.
