Great SUV
I had two Jeep Grand Cherokees (yuk!) before getting my Santa Fe. The Hyundai is much better designed and more luxurious, and when I bought mine, it was about $10,000 lees then the crappy Jeep. Mine is now 10 years old and is still in great condition.

very good.
I have been satisfied with my Hyundai. The only problem I have had is the TPMS which comes on and then off after a few miles. I had it brought up to services a few months after I had the car. They said that they took care of it, but I had the same problem. I stated to my next
service the problem, same result. So I stopped to mention it.

Meets My Life Style
I had research new vehicles and the only one that passed my list was the Santa Fe. Comfort, style, storage, versatility are all great - highly recommend for a varied lifestyle. Pack it full for camping or transporting delicate items - this fills the bill!

Quality, comfort and fun to drive. I picked up my vehicle on a Saturday and the next week headed out for a girls' deer hunt. The following weekend I catered a ladies tea - can't beat the versatlity

Santa Fe Review
Our 2009 Santa Fe has served us well. We have used the Santa Fe for road trips all around the western United States. We have traveled with bicycles and canoes without any issues. The vehicle is comfortable and easy to drive.

Second Purchase
i was so pleased with my first Santa Fe, i purchased another one. I've even had offers from others to sell it to them. They can't believe that it is 10 years old, in the excellent condition, outside body, inside interior and low mileage.

Pros
no problems, stayed on top of regular maintenance that is the key.

Happy Camper
I owned a Santa Fe 2004 model and traded it in for a 2009 model. I was looking for an earlier model (between 2006-2010) with low mileage. I have always loved the style of these vehicles with their bumps and curves. I am not crazy about the new model Santa Fe. It has become too streamlined and looks like all the other cars out there. Anyway, my 2009 with AWD is the perfect car for me. It also has heated leather seats and a sun roof~features I would not pay for if buying a new car. I feel confident this car will provide me with a safe, fun drive for years to come. .

Mr.
We have owned this Hyundai Santa Fe for almost 10 years. I originally purchased the vehicle for my wife thing she would keep just a few years, she still loves her Santa Fe! We have a Hyundai Sonata and we feel the same way about it also.

Lots of repair issues with this vehicle
A failed fuel sender at 60k miles
a failed transmission at 80k miles
multiple ball joints and half axles replaced all under 100k miles
4 front valve cover gaskets and alternates replaced under recall warranty.
Cannot recommend hyundai vehicles because of the poor repair history I have experienced with this vehicle. Will buy a Toyota highlander or Honda pilot next time

Very very very poor reliability. So many repairs they know me by first name at the hyundai dealer repair shop.

I LOVE my Sante Fe
After months of "looking & test driving" different vehicles I bought my Sante Fe on the very last day of 2009. THANK YOU Hyundai, for the discount you awarded me that someone else might have gotten if they had purchased my car after the year had changed to 2010. I have had cars/van/suv's from different brand names, but this has been the BEST vehicle I have ever owned. I will be honest & say I had as a rental a considerably newer Sante Fe that I did not think came up to the standards of mine. I'm sure it was a much loved choice for others but it made me appreciate mine all the more. I'm excited with what I've seen the last few years & when I decide to start looking again Hyundai will be a top pick "Go To". Thanks Again & I truly mean it when I say I LOVE my Sante Fe

Didn't know they still made such a great car... My Santa Fe!!!
Best car I have ever owned... And my Santa Fe and I are still in the running for a long time....
What more can I say... I knew when I first say this automobile on TV and in ads, "I have to have one"
and I have NEVER been sorry I purchased one.

Love this year Hyundai
I have test driven the newer models and have not been quite as impressed as I expected. The rear is harder to see out of... I don't like the obstructed view! A camera is not a guarantee! Do better Hyundai!
Recommended
Pros
I love the ability to see clearly out of all windows, there are few blind spots. I love the V6 engine, I can pass anyone on a hill ... zoom! The power is excellent. I have had very few and mostly minor issues with the vehicle as it approaches 100,000 miles. It has stayed clean and easy to take care of.

Cons
The front driver seat hasn't stayed as comfortable as I would like. It could have been better designed. The rear cargo area is nice, but stuff just flops around back there. Again, the design could be better.

Great SUV.
I have had this SUV since 2009 no major problems. I own two Hyundai's I love them both
I will consider purchasing a new Santa Fey next year. The service department is generally great but the last service I had was not good.
