    Know about vehicle

    My review:

    We have a 1997 Mercury minivan that my wife drives and we're thinking about trading it in for a new car later this year. My wife saw a commercial for the Santa fe and liked it so much that we went for a test drive this weekend.

    I was really impressed by the inside on this car. It was really nice inside and my wife fell in love with it. She really wants to get Bluetooth on her next car (she's used it in my Armada and loves it) and said that the Santa Fe has it.

    The outside design doesn't look very macho to me but this one will be for my wife so I don't really mind.

    My suggestions for improving this car:

    The Bluetooth feature was about $300 and I think that's pretty pricey when I can just buy my wife a headset for $50. I think that that should be cheaper.

    My familiarity with this car:

    Owned it

    My review:

    My wife and I bought this van used and have owned it for five years now. There's not too much to say about it other than it gets the job done and that the kids really like the sliding doors for some reason.

    My suggestions for improving this car:

    We bought a used vehicle so I don't feel that it is fair to complain too much. I will say that the turning radius is not as good as I would like.

    My review:

    My wife and I bought our Armada last winter and we love it. We have a minivan, too, but we've pretty much stopped using it because our kids love the DVD player in the Nissan and so now we drive it everywhere.

    I needed a big car like this for my job because I either have to carry big materials around for maintenance projects or I have to take clients out so that they can view the grounds. The Armada is big enough and luxurious enough to do it all for me.

    My suggestions for improving this car:

    For some reason, the door handles for the back doors are really high and my kids have a hard time reaching them. It's annoying for me because I have to help them get in each time. Our minivan is a lot easier for the kids to use.
