Very dependable

Have 128000 on the vehicle, and has turn out to be a very trouble free vehicle, only major work is timing belt which is to be expected, change oil every 3000 miles keep the regular maintenance up on it, as you should on any vehicle, has been a very good vehicle.

Like wine she’s only gotten better with age

I’ve heard so many horrible stories from my friends and family about their vehicles throughout the years and I’m pleased to say that I just paid $1157 for some repairs for the 1st time in 15yrs. Before that I paid $500 for new shoes about 3 yrs ago. I wouldn’t trade that kind of odds for any other vehicle in the world. Here’s to as many more years my baby girl has left in her.

A hard working old horse

The most reliable car I have owned. Demonstrated versatility whether taking coonhounds into the timber or the family to the movies. Smart design and efficient operation have made this car the proven smart choice when it was purchased so many years ago.

My Santa Fe is a 2002. I bought it brand new. It is the best car that I have ever owned and kept this long or had this many miles. By the way, I have owned a Volvo, Toyota Camery, Honda Accord, Dodge, Ford, And a Chevrolet. I'm in my late 60's. Without a doubt, this is by far my best car ever. My next new car will be a Santa Fe!!

Best Car Ever! (ABOVE)

Hyundai Sante FE 2002

Love my 2002 Sante Fe. It has been good to me. It is getting older as any vehicle with keeping up the maintenance it is going run as long as you take care of it. Aside from a few recent major repairs due to its age, I LOVE IT! Would I buy another one? Yes, I would.

Replaced front coil springs

Per factory recall, technicians replaced front coil springs and suggested one other repair, which l informed them l will go back to repair shop where repairs were previously done. They were very helpful! ! !

My Santa FE

I love my Santa Fe. wish I could afford a new one. Mine is a 2002.. But it's been good to me. I have only had several problems with the air conditioning but I beiieve that it was poor mechanics/repair places that took me to the cleaners. Would buy a new one if I could.

This has been a great vehicle. Low maintenance and very functional design.

This car is now well out of its warranty, which was the best one available at the time I bought the car back in late 2002. Until this year I've only spent money on oil changes and the only repairs were recall items. The brakes and steering hose (yeah, a hose) went out this past year, so I have spent money on it of late, but that's been for almost 15 years. I love the looks and the internal design features. The only thing I would change is that I decided against AWD drive and then ended up doing a lot more towing and driving in winter than I originally thought I would. The 2WD version does get decent gas mileage (for a car-based SUV). It's right at about 23 MPG and has been between 20 and 23 for as long as I've owned the car.

Hyundai vs. all the rest.

I worked for GM for over 17 years. During that period, I bought several GM vehicles. They all were good cars. However, Hyundai has the BEST warranty bar none! I bought my 2002 Santa Fe new in December 2001 and still have it. I will be trading it in this week for a new Santa Fe.

LOVE MY 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe!....

Over the years, I owned many cars, mostly GM products. My experience as a Staff Member and Manager at Bank of America at Los Angeles, Ca. Led me to acquire this SUV, based on my admiration by which umy Korean colleagues performed their duties. I knew I could trust the Korean workmanship and design!...Hyundai Corp. provided me with a sturdy and reliable Product, at competitive pricing and 100 K miles Warranty!.... I'm thankful to the Company, its workers and Marketing Staff!.... Respectfully, Alfredo Jomsky

Better with Age

She has truly been the family vehicle. To work, vacations, school, and shopping our Santa Fe never quits. Now at 15 she has been retired to our daily run about town. We still love taking short trips in her. But like any teenager, she still wants to get out of town from time to time.

My 2002 Santa Fe

Leaving in Connecticut, I have to go up 3 hills to get to my house. I chose the Santa Fe and have no regrets. Presently, we have over 138,000 miles and enjoy driving it. Whether on a long trip or around the city, it is still comfortable and great on fuel. Another plus is the storage space. This is one of the best vehicles I have owned. Oh, and during all those snow storms, we have never been stuck on the hills. Awesome vehicle.
