Love My '08 Santa Fe!

We purchased our 2008 Santa Fe from a friend in early 2009. Although it does not have the newer features of our 2015 Santa Fe, it has been a great vehicle to drive. Love its design, reliability, and safety features. The warranty is excellent. Overall, we are very satisfied with our purchase!

Hyundai 2008 Santa fe

I have had 3 Hyundai's and have loved them as far as reliability, comfort and security, however the electrical problems are becoming to be to much. The airbag light has been a nightmare with all of them, it makes inspection time an obstacles! Recently my radio system has a complete mind of its own.

I love my car purchased it new in 2008

Since I bought my car I have had little problems, But it is a 2008 and has a fair share of miles on it. I would say mostly highway. Things a happening due to that, But still have a great car. Knock on wood.

Does the job on bad roads but a money hog

I will run this until i can no longer, however will never purchase again. Visor broke right out of the dealer lot and this was purchased brand new. Put more time and money into this vehicle than any other I have ever owned. I average about $800 a year in repairs (not just expected maintenance) since purchasing it in the beginning of 2009. Most of it are things that are just made of poor quality materials. It does however handle very well on bad roads.

My Santa Fe

My Santa Fe has been a very good vehicle. I have had it 10 years with no major problems. I love it and hope it lasts another 10 years. I have taken it to Kentucky twice and it was very comfortable for 5 people. Mostly use it in Marion County and get about 18 miles per gallon. Got 24-25 on road trips.

This is a great car for the money

This car has served me well for over 10 years and 185,000 miles and is still running like a top! I always know I can depend on it regardless of road conditions and that's very important when you live in Vermont!

Best vehicle I ever owned.

I love my Santa Fe. It has been a wonderful vehicle. The seat warmer comes in handy on cold mornings in the winter. It performs beautifully and we love traveling in it (very comfortable.) Its also great for hauling large items.

Best car so far.

My Sante Fe is the best car since 2008. When I do replace will definitely be shopping for a Sante Fe. This car is a perfect size for bikes, dogs, beach gear, road trips and very comfortable . Road trips are a breeze in my Sante Fe!

Hyundai Santa Fe is a good Vehicle

My 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe is a reliable vehicle has more power than my previous Mercury Marquis and that was an 8 cylinder. My Santa Fe is a 6 cylinder. A few things have gone wrong over the 10 years I had it but were covered by the great warranty. I do not think I will get a good deal like I did when I bought my 2008 Santa Fe in 2009 New id I were to buy a current model. The body has remained in great shape No Rust. Other Friends I know have switched to Hyundai also.

The Santa Fe is everything I need. It is spacious as well as stylish It's comfortable & reliable. I currently have many thousands of miles on my car. My next car will definitely be the same, only a newer model.

Best new car we have ever owned!!!!/

Loved the style, best looking SUV on the road!!! If in the market for another, I truly believe I would go with another Hyundai! The original battery lasted beyond 100,000 miles, tires have always done well, always bought from Kerry

Great SUV

I'm the original owner of my 2008 Santa Fe for more then 10 years. I love that it has air conditioner vents for the back passengers. Also it has a lot of room for storage. Engine and transmission are great.

Trouble free motoring

Have had very few problems with my 2008 Santa Fe. For an 11-year-old vehicle it continues to be mostly trouble free. Next vehicle will be partially electric as I want to minimize my carbon footprint and enjoy better gas mileage.

Good vehicle

Our 2008 Sante Fe has been apart of our family the past 10 years. With our regular maintenance it provided us with many miles for work, college (2 sons used this), moving, and pleasure. Good choice.

My beautiful SUV

My car has about 55,000 miles on it and it worked good for the last !0 years. It needs a fuel sensory that cost over $700.00 to repair. and the price for a fuel sensory is less than a 100.00 which means the labor is going to cost me over $600.00. Merry Christmas

I LOVE MY SANTA FE

I love everything about my car. But, my recalls and no recall on the gas sensors that I’m taking back for the third time to ck out. It’s all over the internet the the gas sensor issue. I’ll think twice before buying another Santa Fe. It depends if they can fix this issue. I’ve spent to many hours on this problem all ready. b.maire@sbcglobal.net 925-933-6986

the best car I have ever owned

Its not only the style that attracted me to this car , its the fact you can have it all without going broke ! I fell in love with this car back in 2002 and it wasn't until 2007 I could purchase it. It is so roomy, comfortable and has all the features I could ask for. Heated seats, sunroof are my most favorite features ! When the time comes for a new vehicle - hopefully around 200k miles..I will purchase another Hyundai, whether it be a Santa Fe or Tuscon.

08 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited

Bought vehicle new in early 2009. It has been a very good vehicle overall with very few problems. I will first start with the bad, had to put a few alternators on it due to the poor design of alternator being down low on bottom of engine. A leaking front valve cover results in oil dripping down into alternator shorting it out. The 2nd short coming is the fuel gauge/ sending unit. It failed fairly early in it's life. Good news is there was a service bulletin on the leaking valve cover gasket in Hyundai repaired that and put a new alternator on at no cost., And our vehicle is 10 yrs old. there are several things good about the vehicle we purchased it with the big 3.3 l motor, and it is very responsive and gets good fuel mileage. The engine still runs as good as it ever did and has nearly 200,000 miles on it. The vehicle rides better than most SUVs I've been in in the same size category. The Santa Fe has a great number of safety features, and visibility driving it is superior to many others. Would not hesitate to buy another one.
