I was last new owner to be in Check in Part 4!
my santy is pewter (only one on the lot...it was Brad Benson Hyundai's rarest color shipment they said) and it has 76,450 miles. My family bought it 5/4/01 from Brad Benson Hyundai in Central NJ (it was one of the few dealerships that wasn't selling santy's for close to $30k...it was HUGE then!) |

Aaaaaaaah Pewter.......you'll have numerous new friends here on the forum as Pewter is a popular color around here. With only 76,000 miles you have a lot more road ahead of you. Again, welcome to the forum !!

Welcome to the forum, mixtronic...Pewter, an excellent color choice if I may say so myself. Don't listen to what the Sandstone or even the white

Re: New Members Check In.....Part 4 | ||

now it seem's to be the most popular color, but back in 01 when the santa fe was in its infancy, all the dealership had was black LX's and burgundy GL's and a handful of other colors, but only one pewter. I demanded my family to get it. I think it's the manliest of santy's colors anyways

Howdy folks. Got a new 06 and really look forward to the DIY tips. I need to put a lock on the inside of the garage so my wife won't catch me messing with her new ride though.

Hello everyone. I am new to the board and a now a Santa Fe owner who lives in Kansas. I am presently on deployment to Kosovo, but my wife is the one who bought the Santa Fe. It is a 2002 model in Sandstone. We had thought about buying one of the 2001 models when they first came out, but went with a sedan instead. She finally decided she needed her own vehicle and wanted an SUV. I think the Santa Fe fits her just right. I love to modify vehicles and cant wait to get home to start on the Santa Fe. We are not new to Hyundai though. We use to own a 93 Sonata which I really liked but ended up making the mistake of trading it in on a mini van, that was a mistake. I have been checking out the board and looking for mods for the Santa Fe and am happy that parts are available, unlike my present car which is here www.cardomain.com/ride/379092
I know that one of the first things I am going to do is put new wheels and tires on it when I get back. Im not a stock wheel and tire guy. If anyone has any suggestions on wheels and tire sizes that would be greatly appreciated. I need to keep the same rolling diamter but want to plus size. Thanks for listening to my rambling. Travis |

Welcome, BCStrat. Generally quite a few existing members come in here to welcome everyone....don't know where they all are but I'm sure they'll be around.
One of our moderators, TroutGuy, found this wheel and tire calculator so if you decide to get bigger wheels, you'll be able to have the speedometer/odometer recalibrated to reflect the change in wheel size. It's here. Any questions, don't hesitate to ask. After all, we're here to help and once again, welcome! "Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity."

Greetings one and all! I'm a new owner of a slightly used 2002 GLS 2.7 V6 4WD. I'm loving every minute of it, but then even the bare bones Accent I traded on it was more reliable than most cars I've owned in the past.
I've been looking around here for the last few days (I picked it up back on Monday) and have noticed references to 2002 and 2002.5. Could someone please enlighten me as to the differences or what I should look for? My main plans for modding are black powder coated grill and headlamp protection, nerf bars, and tail lamp protection. Inside, I plan to eventually put in a rosewood kit to give it some extra class. It's medium blue with the medium gray lower body, gray interior, and an ASC sunroof. I'm almost 40, so light kits and the like aren't exactly my thing, but musclular looks and classy interior are most definitely my thing. Anyhow, just wanted to say hi and ask about the 02/02.5 differences. Glad to be here! Draugnar AKA Rob |

Welcome to the forum, Draugnar and congrats on your purchase. I'm sure you'll be very happy with her as I have been with mine. What color is your Santy? Any options? We love pictures and details around here!
I'm not sure of the differences between the 2002 and the 2002.5 but here's what they did from 2003 to 2006. 2003: Introduction of 3.5 liter engine, moved clock from roof to dashboard, changed design of fog light/hazard lights/defrost switches. Monsoon Sound System added on GLS and LX models. 2004: Redesign of manual climate controls (very minor, most wouldn't notice the change) 2005: Four cylinder engine and stick shift option dropped. Gauges redesigned as well as minor exterior styling refreshing. 2006: Canyon Red and Merlot colors were discontinued and the window switches were redesigned. LX trim replaced by Limited. Once again, welcome! LMSF - It doesn't get any better than this!

I am new here and thought I would tell you about my Hyundais. My wife says it is a addiction, we have had 4 so far. Right now we have a 04 Sante Fe GLS 2.7, sunroon, 6 cd changer, burgandy with grey int. This just became mine last week when I got thw wife a 06 Sonata. So far she loves it.
We like Hyundais so much when we traded our 00 Sonata in my wifes best friend bought it the next day! I also had a 02 Accent to commute with. Well this is long enough thanks for being here you guys have already been helpful! Crashed1 |
