Hi All,

Be gentle please.........

Any comments good or bad on these? Small amount of off roading but a lot of
caravan towing will be done

Cheers in Advance

Nothing wrong with them! 5 year warranty too. Check the web for lower
prices. I very nearly got one after a lot of research, but ended up
with a better deal on a Nissan. Will easily cope with your caravan.

And you'll wind up all the LibDems in your street!!

Paul,

Horses for courses I know but I bought a 6 months old one and am extremely
impressed after 4 months. I had a Freelander before and had no end of issues
but the 5 years warranty and 3 years RAC means they have put their money
where their mouth is.

Check out the Santa Fe forum group on:
http://www.i2k.com/~gopack/santafeforum

Santa Fe's are also big in the States and there are only a couple of
comments relating to the "lemon law" but a big fan club and following over
there.
Only thing to watch out for is service costs - I shopped around and
travelled further afield to save ?100 on the 20k service from what the
selling dealer wanted. Barter and they usually change the cost.

Otherwise I'm impressed with my 2.0l CRTD diesel - comfortable on a long
run, torque good and mpg never seems to drop below 38 - not too bad for a
big model.

Anyone got an automatic diesel? Any good for caravan towing?

I also have a 2.0 CRTD manual which was a replacement for a Freelander.  We
used it to take our caravan through France this year.  No problems.
Spacious and comfortable for the whole family.

I would recommend

Lots of people rave about the Kia Sorento, saying that its a very good car.
Ok, maybe bigger than the santa fe but looks (to me) a whole lot better).
Ive just had an X-trail, after looking at the Hyundai Tuscon, but if I had
wanted something bigger then The Kia would of been looked at in detail
especially as there the same sort of price as the X-trail. Unfortunatly the
2.5 engine and bigger body would make the running costs too much for me so
opted for the X-trail.
