Dependable

I purchased this vehicle brand new in 2009 and have never had a major problem. Just typical maintenance.

2008 Santa Fe

This ride is comfortable, gas mileage is good and I've never had a problem with it. I've kept up with scheduled service and made sure I got oil changes on time.

Reliable vehicle that grows with you --

from kids to dogs to sports to rummage sales and roadside finds, the vehicle that grows with you ... now I'm downsizing and moving the kids to college with this vehicle.

Great value

Have had my Santa Fe since 2009 and have had very few issues. Stills runs and looks great, just wish the interior were a little larger. Would definitely purchase another Hyundai in the future.

Excellent Value Vehicle

Got over 132,000 miles on my 2008 and it is in perfect shape. It seats 7 and I've driven it to Southern CA and up to Canada. Still runs smoothly and comfortably quiet. Warranty was excellent.

Gas mileage

I love my suv, it has great features, but NOT good on gas mileage. Love the style and comfort. It would be more fun to drive if I could get better gas mileage. Also the top part of my back top grill with the brake light has totally lost its luster on the paint and my grill which has black paint has gone funny and missing some of the paint.

Excellent Vehicle

Vehicle has been amazing. We change oil every 3000 miles, follow maintenance as outlined in handbook and after over 100,000 miles, I expect tho vehicle to easily go another 1000,000.

Dependable

My Santa Fe is 8 years old & has has no major problems. It has been a good, dependable vehicle. The only thing I would fault it on are the headlights. Several have burned out & the vision range is not good at night.

Roomy car that is easy to drive

I love my 2008 Santa Fe. The car seats 7 passengers but drives like a much smaller car. The turning radius is amazing! The front and middle row seats are very comfortable and even the third row seats are not too bad. When the seats are folded down you can fit a lot of things in the car. We have helped our daughter move from her apartment and were surprised by how much stuff we could fit in the car. The only problems have been small electrical things like the automatic door lock on the right rear door doesn't work and the lumbar support for the drivers seat is no longer adjustable. Also, the gas mileage is not very good.

My 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe is the best car I have ever owned and I have owned Volvos and Mercedes Benz cars in the past

My Hyundai Santa Fe is truly the best car I have ever owned and I have owned Mercedes Benz and Volvo cars in the past. My Hyundai has never needed a major repairs and it has been a car that I have found that I can rely upon. My wife loves to drive it because she can "see out of it really well as she drives it". I have recommended Hyundais to family and friends both of whom have purchased Hyundais. My son has owned two Hyundais and my neighbor bought a Santa Fe three years ago after test driving my Santa Fe. I look forward to when I can purchase a new Hyundai. However that may bee a while since my 2008 Santa Fe still runs and looks just great! Sincerely, Edward Hill, Sammamish, Washington.
