Can't beat a Hyundai Santa Fe

I have owned 4 Hyundai Santa Fe. The first was was a 2002. While on a short weekend trip, we were hit by a tour bus going 45 miles per hour. He didn't see the light or us. Our car was totaled, but we both walked away with major bruises, but minor injuries. The car held together and saved not only us, but the people in the car ahead of us, which included 5 children. I commuted in all of my Santa Fes, except the current one. They all had over 100k miles. My last commuter Santa Fe has almost 200k miles and is still going strong. I'm passing it on to one of my children. The Santa Fe I drive now is a 2008, which I bought from my mom when she gave up driving. It was her 2nd Santa Fe. She went with them after visiting and riding in mine. She loved hers and was really happy when I bought her last one. She had only put 15,000 miles on it. I've added 95,000 more traveling cross country since retiring. These cars have never failed is and have never had any mechanical problems other than regular wear. People think my 2008 is a much more recent model. My next car will be a Santa Fe, too.

Dependable car

I've had my Santa Fe for over 5 years and have had very minor issues, ranging from a tune-up to serpentine belt replacement. I have the oil changed and inspection every 3,000 miles. Great vehicle!

Great SUV

I love this car so far. It is powerful, goes well off-road and has a few luxury features for the value. It averages about 19-20 mpg just driving around

Excellent

I bought the car new in August 2005, the only repairs are general maintenance (fair wear & tear).

I LOVE my Santa Fe!

I have had my car for over 10 years and I just love it! It handles beautifully, gets me through the roughest Cleveland winters and I have many fond memories of all the trips I have taken in my car. Reliable, comfortable and priced right!

113,000 miles and going strong!

My Santa Fe has only had regular maintenance work on it since we've owned it, and I have never been stranded. As a teacher standing at only 4' 11'', the back hatch area and height of the back seats has been my back saver since I transport various books and supplies on a regular basis. Long road trips of 300 miles+ have been comfortable with 4 adults, including my son who is 5' 11' and 265 lbs. I love my Santa Fe and will not be trading it in or giving it away!

2005 Santa Fe

Love my Santa Fe, it's a great vehicle. I've had no major issues with it in the years that I've had it. Very reliable vehicle. I am going to be buying a new car next year & am looking at getting another Santa Fe or a Tuscan.

Lovethis car.

Ours is 2005 Santa Fe GLS V6 3.5L engine. Only nearly 60K miles on it. It's comfortable and the size is perfect for us. Only a little maintenance required to this point. Handles besutifully. However, I don't like that often, if stopped, when you again accellerate to go, the car lurches forward as though you've floored the accelerator. This is momentarily but, I always make sure to allow the car ahead of me to move ahead after a red light changes to green, for fear tgat my car may lurch forward & hit him. I'veread many articles or reviews stating the same thing. Only explanationI've seengivenis, "You don't know how to drive!".
