I've had the Santa Fe since 9/03. So far it's been a very reliable vehicle. The size is perfect for a small family. Road handling is much more like a car than an SUV (compared to a Blazer). Mechanically it's been very sound with no break downs. The spare tire storage area did lock up and it wouldn't open enough to replace the spare tire. That took a factory replacement. The bumper to bumper additional warranty is well worth the price in this day and age. The only draw back I have is the gas mileage. It is definitely NOT economical.
