Purchased New

First new vehicle other than a motorcycle. My car is very reliable with a six cylinder engine. It only has 119,000 miles on it. Outside door handles tend to weaken and will be replaced. The roof rack is handy. Tows 17' outboard motor boat without a problem. Came with tow package.

20 years old, 125,000 miles and going strong.

Maintenance has been at an acceptable level over the past 20 years. This vehicle has been fun to drive, and just the right size for around town. Apple cargo space. comfortable seating, roomy. Paint job did not last the full 20 years, but we are in the hot Arizona sun, so all is good!

I love my Hyundai Santa Fe

I bought my truck used and I’ve had it 8 years and I really haven’t had any major problems with it. I runs good and it’s good on gas as well. I wouldn’t trade my truck for anything. I love my Hyundai Santa Fe.

I love my Hyundai Santa Fe. Really runs good don’t have too many problems out of it. It runs good, If I decided to get another vehicle, I’m going to still keep my truck because I love it. And I’m going to keep patching it up until I can’t anymore.

Best vehicle ever!!

This is the first vehicle that I have kept this long. I have never kept a vehicle for over five years. I absolutely love my SUV. I would rather keep fixing things than buy a new vehicle. If I had to buy a new vehicle it would be the same kind.

GREAT

My 2003 Hyundia was falling apart when I brought it in I was terrified of the outcome of cost and labor, but it all worked out fine and it wasn’t as bad as I thought, Management and the mechanic were both concerned about my safety and assured me that it was necessary to have the oil leak fixed . It was explained that the oil can cause fire ? damage while driving. I’M grateful of their concern. THANK YOU MUCH!!

2003

It’s a 2003 with 270000+ miles on it and it’s still running. Mostly just regular maintenance done on it and it runs fine. It’s been a well running reliable car. When I shopped for my last car I looked at hyundai again. Bought another one 2014 and Lov it also!

Love, Love, my car! It has been the best car I"ve ever owned.

When I purchased my 2003 Hynduai Sante Fe from the dealer Park Place Lexus it had 25,000 miles . I curently have 170,000 miles. I've owed alot of vehicles in my lifetime but, overall this vehicle is very well built with the exception of the air conditioning. I had to replace blower switch 4 times not built very well. The blower twice , compressor, and condenser.

Santa Fe AWD

Over 238,000 miles on this car and it has been exceptionally reliable. I have driven this vehicle during snow, ice, and rain storms, also including Hurricanes. Coastal to Mountains and everything in between. I'm a Plant Engineering Supervisor at a local Hospital and the Santa Fe has never let me down. I need to respond quickly to Emergency Call-Outs for the Hospital's infrastructure and I have no worries about my travels.

My 2003 Santa Fe

I love my Hyundai Santa Fe. That's why I still have it. My goal is to get it to 300,000 miles and it will make it for sure. I love the way it drives and rides and what I can do with the vehicle. It's the perfect size for me. Once I reach my mileage goal, chances are I will buy a new Santa Fe.

I am the original owner. I take care of my car, and in turn my car takes care of me. The property is always clean, good coffee and I feel safe behind the wheel especially after service received at McCombs.

2003 Hyundai

I purchased the vehicle new and it still runs like a new car because I do the service, and I have so much confidence in the dealer's service garage where I purchased the vehicle. Good product and just as important, good maintenance, has never let me down.

Hyundai Santa Fe - Built To Last!

The Hyundai Santa Fe 2003 is built to last SUV. I had this SUV for last 15 years with no issue and regular maintenance. Also, it was reasonable priced compared to other SUVs in the market at that time. We are very happy with the SUV!

Great

I have a 2003 Santa Fe that I love. I have hauled all sorts of things in my Santa Fe. It's comfortable for passengers. Lots of leg room in back seat. Did have a/c issues but finally they were resolved.

Best Car I Have Owned

My 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe is the best and most reliable car I have owned during my lifetime. In fact I am so fond of it that I dread having to buy a new car to replace it, so I keep relying on the service people at Planet Hyundai to keep it running for me. The only improvement I can think of is the gas mileage.
