Hyundai Santa Fe used review | 2006-2011 - Cars Guide
Don Bate bought his 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe SLX diesel manual in 2011 when it had done 25,000 km. It has now done 72,000 km, 30,000 of which have been towing his 1750 kg caravan. He says the Santa Fe is a superb towing vehicle. 2 L/100 km around town and 10. 5 L/100 km towing on the highway. The clutch had to be replaced at 40,000 km, but that is the only problem he has had. Steve Viertel bought his 2006 Santa Fe SX diesel new and says it is the best car he's ever owned. It has done 140,000 km and there are no squeaks or rattles, and the body and paint are in excellent condition. The original brake pads were replaced at 136,000 km, and remarkably the discs didn't require any machining. So happy is Steve with his Santa Fe that he intends to keep it for another five years or 100,000 km. Doug Foggon primarily bought his MY8. 5 Santa Fe SLX 2. 2 diesel to tow their caravan on big trips around Australia. To date he has done over 60,000 km, most of which has been towing a near two-tonne van. The only problems he has encountered have been with the turbo hose clamps, which were not strong enough and were replaced with worm drive clamps, a recall for the stoplight switch, and a false water signal from fuel filter. NEW From humble beginnings Hyundai has become one of the powerhouses of the local car business, but it's. Source: www.carsguide.com.au
