New to me/used Hyundai owner

As you can tell from my title, I have not had my Santa Fe for long before my gas tank started to leak. I drove the vehicle for 96 days before it went to the shop for 72 days. I have some minor complaints about the vehicle but that comes with buying used. I have wanted a Santa Fe for a long time, finally found one in my budget. I like it, handles well in the snow! I hope the rest of my ownership goes well!!

Unexpected billing

It was notified about the basic costs such as the information sheet, but it was difficult for a non-English native person like me to charge for the same bill as the basic diagnostic fee without any explanation. I was embarrassed by the results that included the basic cost, although I did not receive a lot of repairs, but I had to pay the bill. I do not want to complain, but I would like to comment here that it would have been better if there had been guidance on basic costs from the beginning.

2006 Santa Fe

Wellgbuilt vehicle! No issues/major reaies until over 150,000 miles were on it. The computer/electronic system seemed to have a strange glitch to it. If the a/c & car were left running while idle for extended periods of time, it would not startup right away after beibg turned off. Giving it a little time &/or junping the battery if i didn't want to wait would always get the engine going again, thankfully. Also, the steering wheel was a bit too stiff when turning, as compared to other vehicles I've driven. Otherwise, it's a great car if you are looking for a long-running SUV.

Good car in Great condition

Purchased a previously enjoyed vehicle that is 10 years old and in excellent condition. Thank you to the previouse owner for taking such good care of it and I hope to enjoy it for many years to come. It fit my budget and my needs and it's such a nice safe clean vehicle. Also here's a thank you to Hyundai for manufacturing a product that lasts and still drives really well. I don't think Hyundai gets the props it should or is recognized on the same level as other manufacturers and it should.

Reliable, durable and Fun, not luxurious

Good value, reliable vehicle. It was our second SantaFe bought new. Still in good condition (AC just went out...) When new, we took it four wheeling in Colorado Rockies up to 13,000 ft across the pass from Ouray to Telluride. Many custom Jeeps and Hummers could not make it as far.

I've had the car for 12 years. Comfortable to drive. Love it.

Had the car for 12 years. No service other than routine things. I hope it last a lot longer but I would definitely buy another one. Very comfortable seating. I would only buy an SUV from now on. Great car.

Good Solid workhorse

I was happy to get this car in the shape it was in. The inside was immaculate and there were no dents or major dings. It rides a little hard - guess that's the "sport" part, but I would change to softer struts if I could. Headlights aren't made well - I guess Hyundai hasn't mastered that part yet. The permanent fog that builds up on the inside of the headlights can't be fixed, and you end having to replace them. You can reuse the bulbs though. Overall I like this car. Its very comfortable on long cross-country trips and is very dependable. The only part I don't like is that when a sensor goes out it costs over $300 to fix, but I guess that's true of all modern cars these days.

It's old, but runs great

Car is very reliable. Bought it used, needs some work. It runs though! I've traveled up and down Florida in it. I've seen similar vehicles just like mine with better qualities, but it's okay. Hyundai models over all seem very reliable.

Keeps on Swimming, Keeps on Swimming...

Fun to drive, quick and fuel saver especially downhill... Gets 18 mpg city and up to 30 mpg highway. Never quits, unless the battery dies. I get the biggest replacement and get 4 to 5 years out of them. Electric seats a re comfy, but non-electric front seats are not as comfortable. Newer models have longer seats and should be more comfortable. Still love the way it keeps on going and doesn't let us down. Using Cooper's Garage insures it will run forever...

2006 Hyundai Santa Fe owner

I bought my 2006 Hyundai Santa Fe used. I would recommend taking it to a Hyundai dealer, I took my car to a shop trying to save $ ,my power steering pump was never repaired . I took my car to Hyundai of Las Vegas. After diagnosing my car I knew in detail repairs needed and got the major fixed, minor repairs saved for later.

One of the best vehicles I've ever owned.

I have had my Santa Fe from new and it has never let me down. I have had the scheduled maintenance done mostly when Hyundai recommended it, and can say that in the 9 years that I have had it, it has never cost me anything on repairs.

Santa Fe

I love everything about the car. The only thing I would change is the clock, hard to read during the day. Also an addition I would like is when you put the visor down it would be black on the underside. Helps to cut the glare.
