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.

Hyundai is a great buy.

I own a 2003 Santa Fe. This car offers excellent mileage, has had few to no problems maintainance wise, and is very comfortable to drive. The rear hatch area is roomy enough for the biggest shopping trip, leg room is sufficient in both the back and front seats, and the turning radius is remarkably tight for an SUV so this size. For a car that is fourteen years old, with seven of those years in the north near the ocean and salt and now south in a windy and dust prone area, the body has remained in remarkable condition. If I were to buy another car it would be another Santa Fe without a doubt as there are very few to no cons regarding this vehicle.

Love my Santa fe

My first vehicle and I love it. Great on gas. Love the trunk space.. we shop alot so need lots of room for bags. Didn't feel safe driving a big ol' truck that's why I love my Santa fe . Just the right size for someone who's 5'3 . I don't feel like I have to climb in or jump out. It's perfect.. someone ran a red light the other day and hit us hard. When I saw the damage it was shocking I thought it would be terrible. Nope just bent in by the wheel .. it won't start but we are all safe and walked away with no scrapes just a little sore. I can't wait to get her fixed cause I don't want another car ..

Perfect Pair

My 2003 Canyon Red Santa Fe and I are a perfect pair. In a crowd we're both easy to pick out. She has given me great service since I first bought her. I'm not sure how old she is in car years but I'm eighty so I think we're pretty close. Brown's Hyundai has always taken care of her and, in a way, they have taken care of me, too.

Excellent car.

The V6 2003 Santa Fe is the best vehicle I have ever had. You just need to keep the maintenance up todate on this vehicle to reap the benefits of a great car.

Best I have had

I used to buy new cars every 2 to 4 years. Than I got the Santa Fe and have it over 13 years. By far Hyundai are great vehicles. have 2 other Hyundai and the same great cars. I would be hard pressed to get any thing but a Hyundai. The only downside is they seem more expensive now but that's most likely due to demand for high quality.

Hyundai Santa Fe

Bought my Santa Fe new in 2003 and it has been the best car/SUV I have ever owned. I have 116,000 miles and it runs like a champ. Eventually will buy another Hyundai when (or if) this one quits.

My 2003 Hyunday Santa Fe

As the past owner of a variety of domestic, and foreign vehicles, during the past 50+ years, I consider my Santa Fe, the best all around automobile. The reliability, and flexibility of the vehicle has not been matched by any of my previously owned automobiles. This vehicle has received world class maintenance by Coastal Hyundai of Melbourne, FL under a ten year/100,000 mile warranty with free oil changes, for the life of the vehicle. To date the vehicle has logged 145,000 miles, and continues to perform smoothly. I find the same assessment by acquaintances who also own a Santa Fe of similar age.
