SantaFe

Hyundai Santa Fe

Loved this one too.

Apparently this was one of the first, if not the first 2.0D sold in the UK, not too sure if this is just a myth or not though.

This one had the intercooler breather vent thing on the bonnet, later ones didn’t have this for some reason, I think it improved the looks. Quite a bland looking car but a great drive, sophisticated four wheel drive system and good electronics in the cab.

I could drive all day and get out at the other end feeling like I’d only driven round the block. It got sold after 3 years with 160,000 miles on the clock.

I had a towbar fitted so I could tow my caravan behind it which it did with ease.
