Dependable SUV

Initially bought this vehicle for my wife after having done a lot of research on dependability and safety. Purchased this as a used one owner vehicle from a dealership. Initial owner had performed all maintenance and after having owned it for the last 7+ years it has performed flawlessly and has needed only basic maintenance. Would definitely consider this vehicle again.

Keeping this car maintained

This vehicle is over twelve years old, oil changes, tire rotation has been a blessing. Taking this vehicle to the dealership has proven after 12200 it will continue to run in excellent shape. Will return

One of the best vehicles owned.

Overall, this is an excellent rating for the 2005 Hyundai's Santa Fe. So it's highly recommended for performance, reliability, body, 4-wheel during inclement weather traversing up and down roads. My vehicle is still a favorite among other small SUVs.

Santa Fe is my forever vehicle

Do you recall as a young person that your vehicle Was your everything well now I am70 years old ,I bought this car in 2005 a brand new Santa Fe and IT STILL LOOKS AND RIDES BRAND NEW! TRY ONE ON !! The Santa Fe is reliable looks good and it measures up to anything on the road right now and this is a 13 year old vehicle it still looks and runs sharp when the time comes I will replace it with another Santa Fe without a doubt I recently became handicapped so my wife is now the driver and I am the Passenger now there is a heartbreaker but it is just as great looking out the passenger window as it was looking out the driver side window AND because of the design and interior room I can still comfortably get in and out of the car stepping up to the comfortable seats if you’re looking for a midsize SUV a good front wheel or 4 Wheel Dr. car consider to Santa Fe you’d be doing yourself a favor and I think you’ll agree with me 100%

2005 Santa Fe

I love my Santa Fe. I don't drive it much, just close to home but it's been very reliable. It has a nice smooth ride. It's 12+ years old and I still have original brakes and tires. I take it in usually every 6 months even if I don't have many miles on it.

I am the greatest fan of your Santa Fe model. I've been a loyal leasee and buyer since 2001. From a manual stickshift to the 3 row automatic with the panoramic roof, heated/cooled everything - these vehicles have performed well and are very reliable. I will always be a Hyundai Santa Fe fan. I have 3 vehicles and am looking to buying another one in the near future. Go Santa Feers!!! Great - Reliable - SUV :)

The best car all the way

Since the moment I bought it. The car never had any issue. Almost 13 years and the car is running without any problem. So if you are thinking to buy a car please don’t hesitate the Hyundai StaFe is the right for you.

Oldie but a goodie

I've had this car for a good long time, bought it new back in 2005. It's reliable, easy to fix, handles well and has a great speaker system (important!). Holds a good amount of cargo and handles snow and off road conditions great.

Immediate live affair!

This review is based on my first experience with My Santa Fe. I loved it from the beginning . With back problems the comfort of the drivers seat was great! I sat in other parts of the car as well. The feel of the ride was smooth . It had great pick up. It was 2005 so it was nicely equipped for a 2005 vehicle. The vehicle has held up very well.

It's the perfect size for me.

I absolutely love my Santa Fe! It's got the right amount of oomph I need. Perfect in storage space, passenger room and quite frankly I love how it drives. I don't have any conplaints about this car at all.

Love it! Wish I could afford a newer version. Someday!

This is my 4th Hyundai; I have owned 3 new ones. My 2014 was totaled last year. I'm retired so can't afford a car payment & bought my 2005 SantaFe for 4k. Love it - will upgrade sometime soon. Thanks

Reliable

I have had my vehicle for 13 years and it has been a great vehicle. I will definitely buy another one. It has only left me stranded one time in 13 years. It is an affordable vehicle. The seats fold down so you can haul a lot of things.

2005 Santa Fe

My wife and I purchased a new 2004 and 2005 Santa Fe in Albany, New York primarily because of the Hyundai reputation and warranty. Those were the best cars we have ever owned! They have held up extremely well with only normal recommended services and regular oil changes.

Overall a great vehicle

I purchase the Santa Fe because my aunt has one and it drives great. She never complained of any issues other than regular maintenance. My car has 165k miles and it still runs like new. I'm glad I brought it and looking forward to getting 300k miles.

It has served me well for 13 years

I was only able to get the basic model of the Santa Fe and it was perfect. I didn’t need any of the bells and whistles and I was okay with that. But now, I find myself wishing that I will be able to afford a fully loaded SUV, preferably a Kona since I’m from Hawaii! ??
