My santa fe

I love my santa fe. Hyunda makes the most reliable car on the road. I bought my first santa fe in 2005. Never been in the shop for a major repair I also own a 2016 Santa fe same thing. I love both cars and both are still on the road and doing fine my 2004 now has 103,000 miles and never has had a problem. They really are great cars.

Such a durable vehicle

I have taken my Santa Fe everywhere, even to places I shouldn't. Out in the wilderness, the vehicle is so reliable. I know I will get out of rough spots. Lots of room for my camping gear. I maintain the vehicle well and it shows by being very dependable. I plan to keep this car a long time to come. Too bad other vehicles aren't made this well.

Great, Trustworthy Vehicle

I've been very happy with my 2004 Santa Fe. I bought it back when it was less than 49,000 miles. It was a one owner, well maintained vehicle. It rides very comfortable. Great for road trips with the sunroof open on a blue sky day. The vehicle has been dependable. I have not been as religious with the maintenance schedule as the 1st owner. It's my fault that now it needs some understandable repairs. The vehicles with go over 200000 or more if you keep up with regular maintenance. I have the 2.7 liter v6 GLS/LX model. I love the gas mileage I get. It now has the prevalent valve cover leak that these vehicles get over 90,000 miles. Currently has 120,000 and is running fine. I love the vehicle so much, that I was very upset when given an expensive list a mile long to fix my car. However, this is a good testament to the dependability of the Santa Fe. I recommend this vehicle to anyone.

Great and dependable!

We bought our 04 Santa Fe used with under 60k miles. Didn't know the history of this mean machine, so we did exactly what Hyundai recommends at 60k. This is where the journey begins... Our Santa Fe has been our primary vehicle, driving city and highway miles. Gas mileage is pretty decent for this caliber of vehicle, roomy enough for the family and groceries, and the power...we have the 3.5L front wheel drive model...this thing scoots! I'm a die hard Chevy V8 man, but this thing has far exceeded my expectations. We strategically planned to replace this beast after a few years of owning it, but no matter what nature, aggressive driving, and my wife put this thing through, it still has life in it like when we bought it. It's comfortable. I've taken it on a few road trips crossing state lines, and it has never failed. I've watched 4x4's get stuck in the snow, but this little bean of wizardry has had no problems. This is even after I had stopped to help a handful of folks while the Santa Fe sunk into the quick-like-sand of snow and ice. Maintenance...this is fairly easy if you're mechanically inclined. Changing the spark plugs require you to pull the surge tank (upper intake) off. Changing the alternator requires the radiator be removed for easy access. You definitely want to be sure when you're replacing one component, you might as well replace whatever is nearby just so you won't have to dig in that spot multiple times. We still have this vehicle. It survives the technological attacks from the new generation of Hyundai's and other manufacturers as the technology in this old 04 is plain as can be. However, this IS the first generation Santa Fe that paved the road of Hyundai's current success. But, in the grand scheme of things, this vehicle doesn't have the looks of the very attractive 2018 Santa Fe, but rest assured, if you take care of your first generation Santy, it will pay back in kind. Love them, and they will love you back.

Love my Santa Fe

I bought my car by myself and did not know what kind to get but once I got in it and drove it got it and my Santa Fe has been very dependable and service has helped me stay safe so I enjoy it now 14 yrs later as much as the first time I drove it

2004 Hyundai Santa Fe

This is the first car I bought that was new. I enjoy the space as I camp and it gives me the room I need for packing things, I also like having the room for items that would not fit into a trunk. I have maintained the vehicle well and it has served my purpose. I have no regrets with my purchase

2004Santa Fe

I've had my Santa Fe for 14 years. I have 52,000, miles on it. I' ve taken it to Marhoffer, for 14 years, to do work. I've had a few major things done, and it costs alot, which it would be at a dealer for 95$ a hr, but it's a Hyundai Dealer, why not., and I dont know of any other Mechanics! I don't know of any trusting ones!

A++++++++++++++ and then some!!

I've never owned a car like my 2004 Santa Fe. Prior to purchasing, I never kept a car more than 4 years because something would need to be fixed and would be so expensive that it would be unreasonable to do it. I have had no major problems and only have done routine things needed due to age and mileage. Even if I won the lottery, I'd still buy a Santa Fe -- just a new one!

Love it

I've been a Hyundai Santa Fe lover for years. My husband has wanted me to trade this car in for the past 5 years and my response has always been the same "over my dead body". Why would I trade this JEWEL OF THE NILE for a newer model when it still runs great. Having newer bells and whistles is great but if it ain't broke don't fix it. Good old Spanish proverb.

2004 Santa Fe

I like it better than the new ones...it simply suits me better...uncomplicated, reasonable on gas, dependable transportation. Selected as my second utility vehicle, it has become the vehicle I use most.

I love my Hyundai

I'm a stickler for maintenance. I do everything required within the recommended time frames. Because of this, I've driven 123,000 trouble free miles in my 2004 Hyundai. I would definitely buy another, but am disappointed they are eliminating a c.d. player in several models. Being old school and having a huge collection of c.d.'s, and no I don't want to transfer them to a flash drive, this may influence me to buy a car from a different manufacturer. I wish Hyundai would offer a c.d. option in EVERY model.

Best ever made

Our two Santa Fe “ twins” were the best model ever made. 2004. Enough said. But you must maintain the cars! Loving care has lasted us 14 years! This model has always looked good. We wash wax, vacuum, and maintain regularly.

Over 144K and still running like new.

No need to buy another with proper servicing and timely repairs of my current 2004 Santa Fe, although I will purchase a newer model of same car for improved options. Traveling from California to Florida with multiple road trips to mid west regions, we are confident this vehicle will get us to our destinations.

Great vehicle

My Hyundai Santa Fe was with me for 14 years and almost 250,000 miles. It was a great vehicle with an amazing warranty. I’ll only purchase Hyundai’s from now on.
