Pros: What do you like about 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe?
This vehicle is very nice for the price you pay for it. I purchased the limited edition. It has many of the options you would pay dearly for at most car dealers. That is except Acura and few others that believe your car is part of your castle. But fear not Hyundai is gaining in popularity but loosing their direction in customer service. Read below for the cons part.

Cons: How would you improve 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe?
Their (Hyundai) vehicles are getting better and better each year. The 2007 Santa Fe is no exception. The first service adventure cost me over, 500.00 that was just for the routine maintenance that the dealer said they always speed balance and rotate tires and charge for. The car came with a trailer towing package, but no trailer hitch-I could buy that for about 900. The rear seat entertainment headphones broke the first time a person tried to put it on (this was ignored when it went in for it's only service so far). The rear roof rack cap popped off during a car wash (first time it went through) and chipped, but Hyundai would not replce it. The rear ceiling light leaks like a water fall when going through a car wash, or heavy rain, but Hyundai says they cannot reproduce it. The rear seat belt clips popped out and I have no action from Hyundai as yet. This vehicle has less than 11,000 miles on it, can't wait to see what happens in the future.

2007 Hyundai Santa Fe Review:
I would not recommend anyone to purchase a Hyundai until they realize that a customer is where their business comes from. The vehicles are not bad by any means, but if you have one that needs repair they should cover, FORGET IT. The dealer will help some but if you have to go through the corporate customer service area--oh FORGET IT AGAIN!!!. They take your complaint, you do all the work of getting information together, faxing it, and the "nice" customer service agent in california sends it to a "REVIEW" group that come back and says "Hyundai's final decision is: it is not covered". If you do not mind paying for ALL maintenance and REPAIRS, buy one. Also check out my Elantra GT rating (or rather support rating).

Pros: What do you like about 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe?
The option to have 4 or 2 wheel drive, the look, the transmission option and the interior including the blue lights in the dashboard.

Cons: How would you improve 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe?
I have had nothing but problems since the second year that I have purchased my vehicle. The suspension all around just had to be changed, major problems with the gas tank, the gas gage not working because of fuel tank sensors having to have both of them replaced. Air and fuel intake problems causing to have the engine light to go on and off constantly and continues to this day without being able to pinpoint what is causing this. Having had my vehicle in the garage at the dealer on and off for 2 weeks and this during my family vacation which we didn't go far because of this and again this year which is my third year of having been the owner of this 2007 S/F, F/LOADED, 3.3 L which is costing me an arm an a leg in vacation time me having to go back and fourth for the same problems over and over again. I am not giving this vehicle its reputation, it is making it on its own, especially when I am asked how I like my vehicle..... I have had many smiles drop down quick when I am done telling them about my adventures, the term is being used because an adventure is what I got and not satisfaction.

2007 Hyundai Santa Fe Review:
I would no longer give a good word for a Hyundai Santa Fe. I would more then likely go back to North American made vehicles unless Hyundai Canada was to make me an offer I couldn't refuse.

Please feel free to communicate with me for more details.

Pros: What do you like about 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe?
We purchased a pre owned 2007 Santa Fe AWD Limited. So far, we really like the ride and the way it drives (drives like a car, with the SUV room). The car is very solid and would consider purchasing another Hyundai.

Cons: How would you improve 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe?
The radio to show the stations programed, location of the power windows, continually locking the doors when trying to roll down the window.

2007 Hyundai Santa Fe Review:
Over all this SUV has mostly every thing. It is a good driving vehicle, has great styling. The ride although a bit stiff, it is comfortable.It is almost a year old and I have not had any trouble with it what so ever. I would buy it again and recordmend it to anyone.

Pros: What do you like about 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe?
The fact that the Hyundai comes with a lot of the options that you pay a premium for at other dealers. I am especially a fan of the heated seats, third row seating (with cooling vents) and storage capability. Besides plenty of space with the third row folded down there are storage compartments everywhere. For someone like myself who lives out of his car, it is nice to keep the the car looking clean on the inside without a bunch of clutter.

Cons: How would you improve 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe?
I have seen the service department knocked in other a reviews, and I have to admit I have had some of the same problems. Some of the service is quite a bit more expensive than other dealerships I have worked with. The first level of staff I had to go through was difficult to work with. But I can say that once the manager got involved, things moved a lot smoother.
I also take issue with the fact that my Santa Fe has the tow package, but the tow package does not come with a hitch... a very pricy hitch to purchase and have installed.

2007 Hyundai Santa Fe Review:
Overall, I am pleased with my purchase. The engine responds very well when I need that extra burst of acceleration. The handling, especially for an SUV like this, is fantastic. Takes tight curves very well. All the additional features the limited addition includes serves to impress anyone that takes a ride in the Santa Fe. It impresses even more when I tell them how much I paid for these features.

I love the roominess and I don't care what some say, I love the blue dash lights. The handling is great and it makes driving a pleasure. Keep it up hyundai, we've already owned three of your cars. That's what everyone is looking for - good quality and safety at an affordable price.

I recently had the drive shaft pulley to disengage itself from the shaft of my Hyundai Santa Fe. By the grace of God I was only backing out of the driveway and not on the freeway. For safety reasons this section of these vehicles should be better engineered.
