Which is the better car, a Hyundai santa Fe or a Honda CR-V? Why?

The Hyundai. 7 year guarantee (in the UK)

Korean cars, Hyundai and Kia, have made huge strides in quality/reliability/longevity over the last 20 years or so. But they haven't caught up with Honda. Honda is not THE most reliable car company, that's Toyota, but they're up there in the top 3 or 4.

I have nothing against the Santa Fe. I see a lot of them around, so they must be pretty successful. But I'd go for the CR-V. Unless the difference in cost was a big factor.

Honda makes a better car. PERIOD. If you need reasons, do your own research.

Honda, they say they use a lot of plastic when they make Hyundais.

Back in the day I'd say Honda, but few Hondas are made in Japan any more. Many are Thai built. Thai vs Korean…
The Hyundai (in Aus at least) has a better warranty (7 years compared to Honda's 3) and seems more interesting than the current CRV. But which is "better" is up to you. Drive both and decide. In terms of reliability, my Series-1 CRV was bullet proof, whereas older Hyundais had a use-by date, but that gap has narrowed and I doubt there's much in it these days.
