2008 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited

We bought the Limited edition as we liked the extras that came with it. Not disappointed. The navigation system built into the radio does not automatically upgrade so you have to buy newer disks. We use our phone navigation so that feature is less important now. After 12 years little things like light bulbs started going south but easily fixable

I purchased my Hyundai in 2008 when it was new.

I love my Santa Fe. I have never had any trouble or any major repairs on it. Just now starting to need some maintenance work. I have kept up with the oil change schedule. Has almost 200,000 miles. I will be getting a new one in about a year.

Great Car

Always wanted a SUV, bought BB (BIG BLESSING). Bought from local used care dealership in 2012. Taken several trips & loved it. Good gas mileage and is roomy inside. I've truly enjoyed this vehicle and would buy again. No regrets.

My trusty workhorse

I love this car. I bought it new in 2008 and it has now done over 175000 in 14 years with only one major breakdown (fuel pump issue in 2015). It's a bit dinged up on the outside now but has an amazing engine with reliable power and speed. It has climbed mountains, been on many camping trips, crossed many states, carried many things, protected many children.

Santa Fe

I bought this vehicle used about eight years ago. Have a little over 119,000 miles and just had to have a tune up done. This is the first work I’ve needed to have done other than replacing tires and regular oil changes.

No buyer's remorse -- ever

This is the only car I've owned that has never caused me buyer's remorse. It's reliable, comfortable, and economical to maintain. After 15 years and over 160,000 miles, it still has the original exhaust system!

The best and most reliable vehicle!

I purchased my 2008 Hyundai, Santa Fe new and, have been very satisfied with the continuous performance and low maintenance. It is a great vehicle and if I could afford it, I would trade it in on a new 2024, Hyundai Santa Fe.

the service on my Hyundai

I have gone to Divine's for quite awhile for service on my Santa Fe, and they have kept it up to date for service from the beginning. The Santa Fe has been a great vehicle for the whole family.

2008 Santa Fe.

The only complaint I have is the fact I had to replace the steering gear system before I believe I should have.

Almost Great SUV

This SUV is near great. It is has a few drawbacks and they are: no iPod jack, the car wobbles weird when all 4 door windows are down when going 50+ MPH, it is more ideal for someone in size between 5'1 and 6'1. Those below this height will have a harder time stepping in and those above this height will feel close to the ceiling or the chairseat a bit small. The seats are not curved enough on the bottoms and one slides a little when going around curves. The heated seat buttons are too far to reach even for a tall / long person and the buttons should be up higher for easier access. The tailpipes rust if driven a short distance with the AC on and the tailpipes are one huge long piece meaning the who thing has to be replaced compared to just the end where it rusts. KIA does some of these things better and very similar all around. Though I will keep this car a long time and I do like it quite a bit, most likely my next SUV, if I get a SUV, will likely be a KIA. Hyundai service center is much better than KIA though I has have a KIA as well.

Santa Fe is Santa Gr8

I had to buy a new car when my Lexus RX300 got totaled and even though the Santa Fe isn't a luxury vehicle (and mine has been owned 3x), I don't really feel like I downgraded hardly at all, except maybe in interior and steering weight. I love my car! Way more room and three rows of seats. Whoa. Blows my mind. It's also cute like a whale or something. I would kiss it till the day I die. Enjoy it!!!
