Love my Santa Fe

I've had my Santa Fe for 12 years now. I love my Santa Fe! It's running like a dream and if I ever wore to get a new car it would be another Santa Fe. I know the new ones have a lot more bells and whistles than mine but I'm perfectly happy with the one I have. Happy now

Great Quality

Our car has just under 170,000 miles. If I was asked to drive to California today, I would not hesitate. The car has been very reliable and has never failed us. I have personally recommended to several friends to at least give Hyundai cars a try. They won't be disappointed.

My Santa Fe

Easy to drive because it is a smaller SUV. We bought it new and have been driving it for 15 yrs. With regular maintenance it should last another 100,000 miles. Thank you Columbia Ford for all the years of service.

We love our new Santa Fe

We are enjoying our new 2019 Santa Fe, there are many great features on the new car and we are having fun with them. This is our 2nd purchase of a Santa Fe, we bought our first one in 2005 and traded it in on the new one. We are aware of how well they drive because of our many years of experience. We appreciate the warranty on the car also, it served us well with the first Santa Fe and we are expecting the same care with our second.

Over 300,000 miles and still drive it everyday.

My daughter has a 2005 Santa Fe with over 300,000 miles on it, and she drives it it everyday.! Of course she has replaced a few parts, tires etc. But she regularly has the oil changed and normal maintenance.

Dependable

Affordable dependable vehicle. I have my vehicle for 15 years and it has never left me stranded anywhere. I recently had to sink quite a bit of money in to it this year but for the last fifteen years it has been great! I definitely will buy another one well worth the money.

2005 Hundai Santa Fe

It's tough to review a car that is over 14 years old, but I will. I just had to take it in for a tune up; I think it should have been done at 90 or 100 thousand miles...we have 114,000 miles on the car. I had an issue with the service department, but the car itself has been as reliable as the sun rising and setting. It is one of our three Hyundais (1986 Excel GL, and 2008 Sonata that we gave to our grandson) that we have owned. It continues to give great service and I know I can count on it to start up every day and take me where I need to go. Even when it recently had two ignition packs going bad (two cylinders misfiring), the car still ran like a champ. It still looks good (not too much change in body styling between 2005 and 2020), is comfortable, and the quality is second to none.

So glad I bought my Hyundai Santa Fe it has been the most dependable and low maintenance vehicle ever. Thanks for building a great SUV They seem to strive to make their customers happy and their vehicles well serviced alway will to explain each and every step they have done or service your vehicle could use. They are pleasant and don’t pressure you at all. Make you feel comfortable and glad you brought your vehicle to them.

Mr Theodore Young

It’s been reliable and good for me I’ve driven it to the Grand Canyon use it for Lyft and Door Dash drive it back and forth to school as well, the truck has done well for its age, I would buy another one maybe a little newer than this. Like a 2010 or 2015 definitely depending on the price of course I’ve owned a Elantra and accent

Love this car.

I drive mine daily, she's very peppy! She's got 224,000+ miles ,3.5 V6 & trans axle just replaced. I think the replacements were economically wise. She'll go forever. I like her styling and color. I'm one happy camper.

My 2005 Hyundai Santa Fr

I like my Hyundai Santa Fe. I think it was a good choice for me & the price was right. I am still getting used to it & all of it's features. It is the first previously owned vehicle I have ever purchased. I hope that their are not too many more service surprises in store. However, I am mostly satisfied with the vehicle.

Best car we've ever owned

We bought our 2005 Santa Fe new and have had no serious problems with it in all the years we've had it. Grappone Hyundai keeps it running smoothly. We are beginning to think that we will need to get a newer vehicle in the near future and hate to think of parting with this gem! We are also aware that new technology will be a huge change for us!
