I test drove one today. It has suprisingly good pick up for a 4 cyclinder SUV. I am considering that as a replacement for my Jeep Cherokee. The Santa Fe is more comfortable, handles better, peppier (eventhough I have the 6 cyclinder) and overall appearance is nicer too with that European flair. Its smoother on the road with the 4 wheel independent suspension. Its between that and the Jeep Liberty. We shall see next year! <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
And for those who have read my article in the SUV Fad topic, I actually use the SUV for its designed purposes. I haul a trailer, I go camping and off roading and I travel in the snow CAREFULLY, yes, unlike the other morons in the SUVs that think they know what they are doing going real fast. Ha!
I eat Honda Civics for breakfast, Toyota Corollas for lunch, and Volkswagen Jettas for dinner
