Love Our Hyundai Santa Fe!

This 2008 is our second Hyundai Santa Fe and we have started looking for a third. It is a wonderful vehicle. Beautiful styling and long lasting quality make this Hyundai Santa Fe a great value. We also love the tight turning radius.

Love my Santa Fe

I have an older model Santa Fe (2008) and I just love my car. I love the blue interior dash and lighting, one of the reasons I bought the car in the first place. It has held up very well and other than normal wear and tear, it's been a gem of a car.

2008 and running strong!

Our SUV is running good sure we have a few minor issues that were easily(or should of been) solved. We don't put a lot of miles on our cars so Im sure that's helpful. It has been a comfortable ride for many of our road trips! and plenty of storage space for these trips for the 2 of us. The backseat is big enough to haul the grandkids around

2008 Hyundai Santa Fe - my favorite car ever!

I have never had a vehicle this long. This vehicle is functional, affordable to maintain, classic styling, multiple configurations and responsive! I have no desire to trade it or replace it! I always recommend a Hyundai and especially the Santa Fe!

Really not worth the purchase

This was great protection in a small accident but from the moment I drove it off the lot, things started breaking. I only now, after the 10 year warranty, realized I could have used the lemon law but the dealer never made me aware. 11 years later it is constant repairs on things way beyond maintenance. It has 75K miles and I am looking to sell it just to not have to deal with it anymore.

Very dependable performance.

Over 240,000 miles on the 3.3L V6 engine, which keeps running like the Energizer Bunny! The result of timely and proper maintenance. This vehicle is still fun to drive, performance and acceleration is amazing.

Spacious and comfortable

This vehicle is pretty comfortable during driving. The only problem is this vehicle is V6 and it needs a lot of gas plus the spending is too high. By the way for the price of this car is a good fit for people who loves driving with comfort.

Great SUV for the money

Very pleased with my purchase, she's been a very reliable vehicle with normal maintenance issues. Mine has the larger v6 on the 4, so I would be only recommending on that one. Handles great in the snow, only complaint on 2009 is the wiper spray freezes up sometimes due to poor design. Small complaint for an overall great vehicle 10 yr/100,000 mile warranty can't be beat! Ty Anchor Subaru for finding me my gem!!

2008 Santa Fe

Car has withstood the many I95 travels North (Lansdale PA) without any problems on the road. The one point I'll make about the 2008 and model years going forward is that the instrument panel/warning should alert to pending problems with the alternator. With today's usage of IC and/or electronics, the weak link is a failing alternator. Once the battery is without charge the car seizes up, making for a dangerous driving situation! I have first hand experience which I wouldn't wish on any driver.

Great in an accident

Before my accident I would have given the Santa Fe a poor review. Seems like things break on it constantly and the parts are expensive to repair. That said, had an accident in it a few weeks back. It was not a major accident however when I compared the Santa Fe's damage from the oncoming Subaru Foster, the Santa Fe held up great! Kept me safe with minimal damage to the front end. The other car's front end was a mess! The driver was safe though so that's a plus for Subaru too.

Hyundai Santa Fe

I've always been an American made motors kind of guy, but this Santa Fe has been a very good vehicle. A149,000 miles and still going strong. It's had it issues but not much more than your standard maintenance. I recommend it to friends.

I.LOVE.MY.CAR!!

Complete trust in my vehicle. It has taken me everywhere - Mississippi, Arizona, Alabama, Florida (from Jacksonville to Miami), Georgia, and of course all over Texas! I keep it as best a shape as possible with the help of Tipton Hyundai in Brownsville, Texas. 100% in them keeping me safe and on the road!

Very satisfied with our Santa Fe!

Our Santa Fe has been very reliable. Other than routine maintenance no mechanical problems. We will seriously consider a Hyundai as our next vehicle. Words to meet the required 200 character minimum.

Great SUV and very durable

I purchased a new Santa Fe from Rick Case in 2008. With 125,000 miles on it and combined with regular maintenance has only needed the normal wear/tear items (breaks, tires, etc.). It's a great car!
