I had my timing belt replaced on my trusty 2002 Accent today and got to use the 2006 Sante Fe as a loaner car today.Well....im not that big on huge SUV types of any brand and the Sante Fe didnt change my mind on it after a few hours.I hated the accelerator pedal......couldnt ease out in the gas...i would press down the pedal and it was slow going till i gave it a little more and it seemed to "rabbit" out of the gate then.Hard to see out back window through rear view mirror and it was blind spot nightmare from the sides....eekk.Also, the radio seemed to fade in and out a lot.Lets just say i'll stick with the smaller cars and leave the big toys to someone else.

 

I love mine, Just bought it few days ago. Its a great car even if your not an SUV person (like me) still really comfortable to drive!!!
