Pros: What do you like about 2006 Hyundai Santa Fe?
Very reliable.
Has never let us down.
Suits out needs for both in city and highway driving.
Financed at zero percent.
Warranties are great.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Hyundai Santa Fe?
Better car mileage.
Needs an outside temperature gauge.
We wish that we had leather seats because they are a more comfortably designed seat.
A bit crowded for people who are around six feet tall.
We replaced the factory tires with higher end tires that are good for ice and mud. Really made a difference.

2006 Hyundai Santa Fe Review:
Great, reliable vehicle. We have been pleased with it and would likely look at another Hyundai.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Hyundai Santa Fe?
Nice looking on the outside. Has good starting speed when passing other cars, but quickly downshifts drastically when you let off the gas.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Hyundai Santa Fe?
I bought this car brand new off the lot in 2006 and year 3 now, it is falling apart. Front end noise is grinding as you come to a stop, wind is noisy inside front windows and worst of all, as you are driving, no matter the speed, it is as if someone slammed into your back end at 70mph and violently jerks you, but no one hit you at all. After a couple trips to the dealer, there's no front end noise that they hear, there's no wind whistling in the windows that they hear and of course, it didn't jerk during the 5.6 mile trip they took in this vehicle. Eats up gas pretty fast too!

2006 Hyundai Santa Fe Review:
I most definitely would not recommend a Santa Fe. Gas prices will never go down much and it is a costly vehicle with poor gas mileage. Even with a warranty, the vehicle deteriorates quickly without any fixes in sight.

NOW WORSE THAN BEFORE.AND WE NOW HAVE OVER 30K MILES ON IT.VERY NOISYDRIVING ON UNEVEN PAVEMENT AND SOUNDS LIKE THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL IS HITTING MUDFLAPS WHEN TURNING LEFT BUT WE HAVE NO MUD FLAPS. tHIS NOISE WAS NOT THERE UNTIL HYUNDAI FIXED IT LAST TIME. IT JUST KEEPS GETTING WORSE.THIS IS AFTER THEY HAVE REPLACED A FEW FRONT END PARTS, AND TIGHTENED THE FRONT SUSPENSION BECAUSE IT WAS LOOSE, WE NEVER TAKE IT OFF RD SO I DONT UNDERSTAND THAT

2006 Hyundai Santa Fe Review:
THIS PROBLEM WITH A NEW CAR MAKING SO MUCH NOISE AND NOT BEING CORRECTED FOR THE LAST 25,000 MILES IS BAD. mOST OF THE TIME E WERE TOLD THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE LET IT GET WORSE

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Hyundai Santa Fe?
I just leased one. Ride and features compare favorably with Honda and Toyota. Perhaps not as refined, but for the money, a great deal in mid-sized SUV's.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Hyundai Santa Fe?
More comfortable seats, reduce windshield noise.

2006 Hyundai Santa Fe Review:
Acceleration and handling in normal driving are excellent. Road noise from pavement is less than my current Honda Pilot, windhield noise is somewhat greater at high speeds. Equipment level for the price is excellent. Crash test results and long warrenty are a huge plus.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Hyundai Santa Fe?
with power passenger seats, cup holders should be on arm rest in back seat, how many miles to drive left to the amount of gas in tank.

2006 Hyundai Santa Fe Review:
Overall I think the Santa Fe is a great vehicle I love mine
