2003 Santa Fe

Great car... minimal repairs needed in 15 years. The car has only had the required service on the recommended mileage markers and has had the recommend replacements to keep it functioning in good condition. Just had an axial replaced and spark plugs at 120,000 miles.

Best Car Ever

I really did not want to buy a new car in 2003. I wanted to wait until I was closer to my retirement (2008). It was, without a doubt, the best buy I have ever made. I worked the Graveyard shift and did a lot of uphill driving in the snow and ice. Never had a bit of trouble driving during winter. The All-Wheel Drive was outstanding. I always felt safe in this car. The Santa Fe is now 15 years old, and it was the best investment I have ever made. It drives and handles like a dream. I think this car will outlast me. LOL

2003 Hyundai Sant Fe

I love this car. It gets good gas mileage, great on and off road, and never had a problem with it. I call it my Soccer dad car and the kids fit perfectly inside. I would recommend the Santa Fe new and old to anyone with a family or looking to start a family.

Solid performer; among top lifetime purchases of anything

Had researched a number of options before I purchased this vehicle. Has served me well over the years with the expected "wear and tear" of aging. Have always maintained it as per dealer's suggestions. Still going strong and expect to use it for 5 to 7 years more....when ,I expect, it will become a "classic".

My beloved Santa Fe

My Santa Fe is literally the best vehicle I have ever owned! I have had a lot of different vehicles - some good, some not - and the best of those never came close to equaling my Santa Fe in satisfaction, reliability, service, etc.

Oldie but goodie

My Hyundai Santa Fe is 15 years old and just about to hit 60,000 miles. Outside of batteries, tires and oil changes, it has only had 2 what I call major repairs: Rack and pinion and the coolant plug. I am satisfied with this vehicle and will buy another one when I need to.

Excellent vehicle

It is not too large for an SUV. The v-6 provide good pick up. Plenty of interior space for moving items as well as a roof rack. Received good mileage as long as you stayed with in the speed limit even using the A/C in the summer.

What a great vehicle

This is the third Santa Fe we have owned and every one of them has been a winner. We have owned it since 2006 and it has never let us down. It may be a 2003 model - but it is in splendid condition and serves our needs perfectly. A very worthwhile buy .

Excellent Suv

I have had my Santa Fe with a couple miles on it in 2003. I have now 124,000 miles on it. It is January 2018. The SUV is one of the most well-made SUVs in the world. Great comfort and take care of oil changes and flushes. Hope to have it for 10 more years!

Great trouble free car

Never have had a major problem in 120,000 miles. We have the car serviced regularly wihich keeps the car in good condition. The car is great for using the back area for hauling things. The size of the car give easy maneuverability in traffic.

Best Car I Have Ever Owned!

I bought my 2003 Hyundai brand new from Planet Hyundai. I have been driving it ever since, and I have never had any major problems with it. I keep thinking that someday it will decide to stop working, but so far it runs better than some new cars. My daughter who lives near San Francisco wants me to buy a new car, so she can have my Hyundai Santa Fe. Whenever I take it in to Planet for maintenance, they always tell me what a good car it is. I agree. It is the best car I have ever owned. I love it, and I will feel so badly when I have to finally give it up.

Absolute Satisfaction

This is the best vehicle I've owned, and I've owned several. Low on maintenance, reliable, very comfortable, nice to look at, easy handling, and made to last. I've had mine for 14 years! If I ever have to replace, it will be another Santa Fe, to be sure!
