Is the Hyundai Santa Fe GLS a good car?
My 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe GLS is an amazing vehicle, especially for the money. I’ve brought it on the beach for some four wheeling, I’ve pushed it over 110mph, it has over 160,000 miles on it, and it’s still running quite well. It’s really going to be emotional the day I have to give this car up… Does recommend this car!!
Is the 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe a good car?
Best car ive owned, too ! I bought my 2002 SantaFe in that year brand new. Its been very reliable and ive babied the car on doing maintenance which i do myself. It routinely gets a combined 21 MPG with 23 on the Highway at 70 mph. It is very peppy and in fact, the front tires will spin from a start if you take off real quick.

What kind of towing capacity does a Hyundai Santa Fe have?
Towing capacity is awful. Can pull a 13ft Boler travel trailer. Had continuous problem with rear brakes overheating. New calipers fixed it. Transmission cooler and power steering lines both rusted through @ 220k. Replaced tires 190k, Tie rods 215k, timing belt 190k, alternator 150k, crank sensor 120k.
What kind of gas mileage does a Hyundai Santa Fe get?
It routinely gets a combined 21 MPG with 23 on the Highway at 70 mph. It is very peppy and in fact, the front tires will spin from a start if you take off real quick. I upgraded the crummy LongTrail Tires to Michelin LX Tires and went from 225’s to 245’s — the extra width makes it handle superbly and they dont rub on anything.
