[MeTaLcOrE1616]

Kia Carnival or Hyundai Santa Fe?

[Nytherr]

Did you hear that? The Hyundai Santa Fe looks like a SUV, but handles like a car!

[YouDiddntSeeAnything]

they say "hunday" in this video, it is pronounced Hi-yun-di

[MUSlC1213]

@YouDiddntSeeAnything

I think they said it right. Hyundai rhymes with Sunday.

Although your pronunciation is close to how it is pronounced in Korea :)

[YouDiddntSeeAnything]

@MUSlC1213 yeah, here in the UK we say hi-yun-di. oh well, i guess its one of those words that has many different pronunciations :)

[gldndragon77]

@YouDiddntSeeAnything actually, its just that the UK is pretty well notorious for badly pronouncing "foreign" names... Even Kanye West's name gets butchered

[pyroprince78]

@YouDiddntSeeAnything no... it's Hyeon DEH (as in strEtch, Elephant, Esther.)

[itsTiLER]

@pyroprince78 its hunday, like sunday. they even say it that way in the commercials.

[nnas0501]

i respect the fact that hyundai is one of the only automakers today that make manual transmission one of their options. Especially in a SUV.

[teofthe]

this car is SO BORING!!!! GAAAHAHHAHA>>>

[IBYZA1000]

@teofthe i´ve done a test drive to this car. It´s just great. If u think that this car is boring so go to buy a Tata.

[thebankcard]

i just have to say that wang2k9 does not represent canada he with a name like wang he's from the far east that has a western attitude watching to many john wayne shows

[ozaki1]

I'm relieved... He's a closed minded fool, and people like him are unacceptable anywhere in modern society.

[theZmanvolution]

@thebankcard this is a very ignorant comment, a name like that implies he's from the far east? man, if u r from canada, then i am very disappointed. r u implying that canadians are white and all should have names like john, michael and shit? u r rite, he does not represent canada, but who can?

[bieberhater1]

i love this car, but my dadh as an acura tsx

i hate my aunts fucking fiat, italian shit

Im only 13 but ive driven one of these b4

[BLACKBEAUTY8989]

i wish they would leave the middle part open so that i can use the back seat easier!

[saletrans123]

we have got electric moving seats

[osvst]

ok im canadain but thats not right but i will admit none of the big three cant build shit now adays. i would rather buy a european car but if u truly like cars u should be imparshal to all the brands and i will admit hyundai has come along way since its start. i drive a SAAB and i love the car only cuz they have time to build a good quality car (9-3 and 9-5) and they are unique to there brand name. but in short i think any car is a good car thill the fuckin thing breaks.

[aahkeyno]

My dad really wants to upgrade our 2004 model to the new 2009 model. Right now my dad drives the old model and my dad sort of hates the interior.

Never buy new!! Right when you get off the lot, you are already depreciating almost $5000. Consider buying CPO instead, same warranties at cheaper costs.

[wang2k9]

hyundais and kias suck! why the fukk did koreans start making cars for? they should stick to just electronics, samsung is good

[aahkeyno]

Samsung is Japanese stupid ass. Hyundai and Kia are great auto companies. They have the best warranty and great cars. My family owns three, the Sonata, Santa Fe, and the Veracruz the are all awesome and fun to drive! You probably never been in one.

[wang2k9]

LOL samsung is japanese? you're retarded, did you even do your research before you said that? My toyota Camry SE would kill any of those stupid hyundais. Samsung is japanese.... lol you should stop talking and put that korean cock back in your mouth douche bag

[aahkeyno]

Still has nothing to do with the cars. Sure the Camry can "kill" any Hyundai. Still doesn't mean they're crap. Have you ever owned a Hyundai?

[wang2k9]

I've driven a hyundai sonata and tiburon. My friend told me his hyundai sucks and he'll never own one. trust me buddy korean brand cars are not gonna make an impact on the car market anytime soon

[aahkeyno]

Well driving isnt owning, is it? And is your friend a car reviewer? I cant trust you with those statements. Like I said we have owned the same 3 Hyundais for almost 3 years now, nothing wrong. Just normal maintenance.

Btw, Im 13. How about you, 25-30? I am only in middle school and I use correct grammar and punctuation, and know more about cars then you do. Go figure. ;]

[wang2k9]

oh snap you're only 13? LOL you know more cars about me? if you knew more about cars you wouldn't buy a hyundai, oh I meant you're parents HAHAHAHAH you can't even drive a car yet why are you even talking? please just wait a couple years, get your driver's license then actually drive a hyundai and you will see how much they suck. I don't need to own one to know that they suck, they copy every other car company's designs and their quality of cars suck.

[aahkeyno]

Actually my mom was a mechanic, and a drag racer back in her day. She knows cars very well. And from what she tells me, she LOVES our Hyundais. It was a great transition from coupe, sports cars with manuals. My parents did they're research, great cars at great values and prices.

Oh by the way, Hyundai has made an impact on the market. In July 2009, their market share increased 35%. Also when other car companies' sales dropped, ranging from 10-30%, Hyundai/Kia rose almost %1.

[jangkimtyler]

umm i m sorry but samsung is korean.

sony is japanese.

[aahkeyno]

Me and that ass already established that. Thanks anyways.

[wang2k9]

yeah I know, everyone else knows but that one 13 yr old retard

[bu0sultan]

yeah, samsung means three stars

[ozaki1]

hey WANGka, guess your just another jealous Chinese.

Get on with the time? This ain't the early 90s my friend! Hyunda/Kia are doing exceptionally well! Sorry, that's bad news for... your country, making you jealous.

Start talking when there are reputable brands comming out from your country. Otherwise none of your racist garbage is needed.

[wang2k9]

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA my country? I'm from Canada bitch! I'd rather buy a canadian brand than buy that korean garbage cars lol I'd start taking hyundais and kias more seriously when they start using their own designs and not stealing designs from other companies lol Ford is kicking hyundais ass all over the car market, its not my fault koreans don't know how to make cars

[ozaki1]

haha.. Canada??? Is not even a real country. aight wang, whatever. My point still stands though. What reputable brands come out of Canada then? Ford? That's not Canadian.

Ford isn't kicking ass at the moment, "all over the market". During these times, Hyundai's doing better than ever.

Also, I bet you don't know how to make cars, and it's not my fault u can't make cars, so why're u so angry.

[wang2k9]

Canada is not a country huh? Are you retarded. Whatever the point is Hyundais suck, in fact the only reason I would buy one is so that I can drive it into one of those korean bbq places LOL listen why don't you just go be a good little korean/jap and stick your little korean/jap dick in a hyundai exhaust pipe. If Hyundai and Kias are so great how come their resale value sucks the big one? Care to explain? Hard to isn't it? its ok I understand, your brain is as small as your dick!

[ozaki1]

There you go, spitting out old stereotypes. Am I supposed to take you seriously? Haha How low can you go...

Bottom line: I talk facts. You talk racism, bigotry and just general stupidity. Done with you boy lol, shoo.

[kathryn8169]

wow that was harsh

[bombomb09]

I've had Kia and Honda. Both ran very well for years past 100,000. Also had a Toyota and is started to malfunction near 60,000.

[streesmut70]

@bombomb09

Great quality but I don't care for a Japanese car ever this time

Only for Korea car it's having more quality

[Adam16823]

oh, I forgot to mention...that it has a security system...which seems to render the auto not usuable without the remote

[Adam16823]

Does anyone know if in the 2003 Santa Fe..Can the vehicle be started if the remote fob is not working? If so, how can it be started....thanks for any help I can be given here.

[jaw787]

CAUTION: LOWER CONTROL ARM RECALL.

"Google" Santa Fe Recall Notices and you will see one for the "lower control arm" in what they term 'snow states'. My daughter was almost killed when hers "broke" just after leaving the New Jersey Turnpike. Control can be lost (my daughter was able to 'grab' control and get the car off the road.) Hyundai started mailing notices out on July 17, 2009, and have not completed the notifications. They will repair it for free - could be your life...call Hyundai.

[ozaki1]

Got one, to replace my Rav 4... AWESOME TRADE!! This is my main car now.

[CARSBYJG]

Congratulations, nice step up

[Gamera49]

Which vehicle is a better ?

Honda element or hyundai Santa fe,

haven't driven either one yet,

[CARSBYJG]

Well the Honda Element is a good car but is not equivalent in size. Overall you would get a better value with the Hyundai Santa Fe and have more available options like dual climate control, All Wheel Drive, Leather, and of course the Santa Fe has higher safety ratings.

[jessexcoree]

hyundai santa fe, toyota rav4, highlander, or honda pilot?

[CarFan2011]

Santa Fe...just make sure you get an SE or Limited, the 3.3 liter engine is much better than the base engine.

[kodzo99]

Rav4 definitely

[ozaki1]

Don't get a Rav... I'm a former Rav user. Now I'm a Santa Fe convert, for the better!

Not sure about the others, but my (new) Santa Fe's such an awesome ride. I recommend it, definately.

[Tylmarande14]

hyundai santa fe or the new toyota fortuner?..i cant decide.

[joeprogo]

Hve had one for over a year and had zero problems. Nothing broken nor have i had any malfunctions. Great car great warranty and affordable even with leather.

[CarFan2011]

Excellent vehicle and impeccably built. And I came from a 03 Accord to this! Very pleased after 35K miles

[CyberRoy72]

I bought mine in November 2007, looks great but is made with cheap materials. I have replaced both front lights, front passenger sun visor, steering wheel was breaking up too, the two hand holders to come into the car also broke, my radio sometimes wont turn on....good on gas and comfortable but cheaply made.

[markab71]

do you take care of it or are you pretty hard on it?

[KPKonliner]

Is it roomier than CR-V ?

[kbb]

It is. The seats are also more comfortable. The CR-V's seats are highly bolstered which can be uncomfortable for people of larger stature.

[SeregaCh]

@kbb You mean for Americans?:):)

[JasloMilwaukee]

The car in this video looks horrible.... The limited looks a lot better, with larger, nicer rims, fog lights, spoiler, leather and nav its just a lot better and could almost be compared to a,lexus

[KPKonliner]

actually , the limited n the normal doesnt look really diff.But most ( not all ) cars look uglier in videos than the real one

[JasloMilwaukee]

but the accessories tend to bring out certain styling cues in a car that help it look better sometimes

[corvettefan96]

it's your typical hunadai. decent, but boring

[KPKonliner]

at least it has great value of money

[djkasdjkasdjdjdj]

true!

[DKingTaco2188]

3rd row seating is dumb in a mid sized suv. If you have more people you have more luggage and third row seating get's rid of luggage room completely. And for short hauls most familys have another car, I'd rather get a forester

[KPKonliner]

yo , santa fe is dif type of SUV ! its crossover medium ! if ya want third row big , go get some MPVs ! besides I had a small family , why not buy a fun to drive SUV like Santa Fe ?

[JewTimes2]

lol that's hilarious I have an old mpv. It's good but old when mazda got bought out the mpv got gay. The santa fe is dumb subaru forester is way better handles better than the santa fe go's offroad better uses less fuel and more dependable get a forester

[KPKonliner]

but more expensive....

[flykyte143]

Even Kia's it sister company has axulery jacks standard

[3boody2000]

This car is the Aisian Q7!!!!

[KPKonliner]

i think nissan is the asian audi , toyota is the asian mercy , honda is the asian BMW
