Hyundai Santa Fe review (16/01/2013)

THE Hyundai Santa Fe has become an ubiquitous sight on Irish roads and has, down the years, become the SUV of choice for many drivers in this country across a wide spectrum of buyers — from farmers to business owners and on to families.

For each and every one of these, the Korean machine provided exactly what they needed in terms of practicality, value for money and economy. It has to be admitted too that latterly Hyundai’s five year warranty has also played a big part in its popularity.

In many ways the Santa Fe represented an all-things-to-all-men buying experience without having to delve into the premium end of the market. And, by and large, it also represented a decent residual prospect as well, fetching good second-hand prices no matter how hard working it had been in any previous life.
