Santa Fe Hyundai

Only part that had to be replaced in the past 14 years was the starter. After 141,000 miles I finally just had to have the power steering replaced and the two rods that balance the Santa Fe in the front end from swaying left to right. The only money that I have spent on this car was for the normal suggested routine manufacturers maintenance. If you take care of your car it will be faithful to you. If I ever need to purchase another car it will be a Hyundai. Their service is excellent. Their staff is pleasant and easy to work with and I have never had to return the car to have routine maintenance redone.

Love it!

Once I bought this car I started seeing it everywhere, I'm in love with my car and I saw the new version and I really want to get it With extra seats. This car is really good looking and easy to drive.

My 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe

I have had my vehicle since 2003 and I am still loving it, it is dependable and even when its not I can always count on the great service that I receive from the dealership when I bring it in for repair. I have seen the newer models and I am still in love with my model.

2003 Sante Fe

Probably the best all-around vehicle I've ever owned, and that has been more than a few.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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 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.

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.

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.

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".
