Great warranty but are products any good? Best, SeamusJ.Wilson
Consumer Reports likes the Sante Fe. I don't put 'total' faith in everything CR publishes, but it is a good indication of a trend. My wife has a 2004 Sante Fe with around 5500 miles so it's too early to tell. She likes it so that counts for something. I like the design/features for the price.
In the mid-90's they made some major quality improvements. My current 4-wheel transport is a 1998 Hyundai Tiburon. It has over 80k miles on it, and is regularly run with sport cars at various tracks. Seems pretty reliable to me
