Well, i have a 2002 v6 fwd SantaFe and love it. I have 25,000 miles on
it. No problems . I bought my folks a 2004 v6 'AWD' SantaFe and
although they love it, it doesnt get the gas mileage mine gets. I get
20-21 city and 25 + hwy. I hope you enjoy your new Santa ; did they
change the styling of it at all ???

sorry for blank one there...

Why did you choose the Sante Fe over the Tucson? I was leaning towards the
Tucson, and find them both nice vehicles, with the Sante Fe a few more
bucks. I think the Tucson is roomier inside, but Sante Fe has a classier
look to it.

I like the looks better and it was cheaper than the Tuscon.. dont like 1st
year vehicles.. to many bugs to work out in the 1st and 2nd years...

Please explain the difference (with model numbers) between AWD and FWD.

Thanks.

 

My freind in South Carolina is in the hospital from a side impact collision
