Cars That Dont Make Sense Pt 2 (Hyundai Santa Fe)

Yes, cars have been a great invention, that was helped man kind get to where it is today, but sometimes I just wonder why some certain cars where even made. I mean some cars JUST DON’T MAKE SENSE. I am not just ranting about these types of cars, just to fulfill my inner anger, but more as to give you some “friendly” advice on what cars NOT to buy.

One car that I can not stand, is the Hyundai Santa Fe (2001-2006). This SUV like the Pontiac Aztec has really no purpose. The Santa Fe is designed as an SUV. Ill reiterate the fact that a SUV stands for Sports Utility Vehicle, which means it is made to be able to conquer any condition or terrain thrown at it. Like the Aztec, the Santa Fe faces both cosmetic and mechanical hardships that pull away from its value and off roading ability.

To begin, a car must have an appealing look or most people will be surely turned away before they even set foot in a vehicle. And this unappealing look is exactly what the Santa Fe exemplifies. I really don’t know if anyone could make a more ugly SUV. I mean this car has lines that just don’t make sense along with a very “bubbly” and irregular shape. An SUV is also supposed to be able to hold large amounts of cargo, which yet again the Santa Fe fails to do.

Now if the ugly exterior and inadequate interior hasn’t turned you away from this horrific SUV, than the mechanical design surely will. Between the years 2001 and 2006 the Santa Fe only offered all wheel drive for a select amount of cars, with the others given only front wheel drive. Along with its confusing drive train this car produces very little horsepower with its weak V6. And even if this vehicle were to have a larger engine it would have much difficulty going anywhere past the open road due to its, stock highway tires, and limited ground clearance for an SUV.

So after viewing these mechanical difficulties, it can be concluded that the Santa Fe is a very weak, dysfunctional, cheap, and ugly SUV in m point of view. Why not buy a SUV, that will actually do the job that it was intended to do? That is the real question, that the Santa Fe, does not have an answer to.
