All is well

The seats are comfortable to sit in however, after any journey they are very stiff/hard and have little cusioning to absorb the bumps, etc.

2003 Hyundai Santa Fe

I think the new version of the Hyundai Santa Fe would be great to drive. I have an older version and it does not have all the bells and whistles like the newer models. Technology has greatly advanced sine the 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe was built. My next vehicle will definitely be a SUV.

2003 Hyundai Santa Fe

Car is primarily for pleasure, not for work, hence low mileage on a vehicle older than 10 years. Very satisfied overall with vehicle. No major repairs (+$1000.00) until after 10 years. Like the distinctive appearance of the Arctic blue. LOVE the 4-wheel (all wheel) drive. The only complaint is the fact that even though there is the capability to disassemble the back seats to make a larger cargo area, it is not completely flat.

I have a V6 model of this vehicle. Has enough power for me. Would be interested the newer models for more of there "more modern" features and better gas mileage.

Great Car

I bought this used in 2010 with 60,000 miles (one owner) and currently have 198,000 and is still going strong. The only item is rust at the rear quarter panels where the bumper meets the body at the wheel well. If you look at these cars in similar years (Santa Fe) they all have this issue. Mine will be repaired this summer. I intend to run for another 100,000 at least.

Santa Fe

My 2003 Santa Fe has been low maintenance and reliable over the past fourteen years. I will drive it until the wheels fall off and will probably buy another one.

BEST CAR EVER

When I drove my Santa Fe off the lot , it had 16 miles on it. I have been the only owner and I love that SUV. Great Mileage and still looks great and still runs great. I could not ask for more.

Santa. Fe

I have thoroughly enjoyed my Santa Fe since 2004. It has been reliable in all kinds of weather and minimal maintenance required. It is the right size for me and I would recommend this make of vehicle.

Hits all the right notes

I did a lot of research before checking out Santa Fe, and it turned out to be a great choice! Writing this review after having the car for so long, I can still say it was an outstanding purchase. It's still comfortable, reliable, looks great, gets decent mileage, and the 5-speed manual transmission remains my preferred driving option. Anyone looking for a good used car would do well to consider this vintage of this nice mid-level SUV.
