Hyundai

Santa Fe

I bought my 2005 Hyundai new, this is the BEST car I have EVER bought. If I buy a new vehicle it will e a Hyundai, probably a Santa Fe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have driven my Sante Fe for 13 years now and have had very little to go wrong. I have enjoyed the ride (on Michelin tire best), comfortable seating, compact yet roomy enough for everything. My only complaint is the fuel mileage. It isn't bad just not great. Highway mileage is the best but still less than 30 mpg and this has been from day one. Over the years fuel mileage has been consistant at 18-20 in town and 25-30 highway. For the size of the car mpg should be better, in my opinion.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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! 👍🏻

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.

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.

They did a good job I appreciate the service now I can drive my car without feeling scared thing in the brakes might go out and I appreciate the time to wish they did it what you didn't cause me any delay in work

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.

I've never had a problem with my Santa Fe when purchase it brand new in 2005. I maintained my vehicle as scheduled and been driving the whole 13 years of no major problems
Yes, when to buy my next vehicle, it will be a Hyundai.

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

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.

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.

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.

Very good and reliable overall. We do have an intermittent braking problem the dealer could not find even after explaining in detail , ABS engages and or hydraulics don’t braking at slow speeds 15-20 mph on wet or uneven roads. See 2004 exiter crack problem. We took in 5 times dealer not able to discover. It’s gonna take pulling exiter to find and it started happening within 1st year. If you purchase a 2005 or earlier Santa Fe make sure to have exiter ring checked for cracks. Drive it at 15.20 mph on a slope and ride brake to a stop. It usually triggers then.

lm glad I wanted and got this SUV,I love it. I usually choose a sedan and I have had a SUV before but this one seems better than the one I had before I really like the way it handles, the color is cool its a very beautiful dark blue.

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.
