2003 Sante Fe

Probably the best all-around vehicle I've ever owned, and that has been more than a few.

Santa Fe

My 2003 Santa Fe has been low maintenance and reliable over the past fourteen years. I will drive it until the wheels fall off and will probably buy another one.

2003 Hyundai Santa Fe

I think the new version of the Hyundai Santa Fe would be great to drive. I have an older version and it does not have all the bells and whistles like the newer models. Technology has greatly advanced sine the 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe was built. My next vehicle will definitely be a SUV.

My 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe

I have had my vehicle since 2003 and I am still loving it, it is dependable and even when its not I can always count on the great service that I receive from the dealership when I bring it in for repair. I have seen the newer models and I am still in love with my model.

All is well

The seats are comfortable to sit in however, after any journey they are very stiff/hard and have little cusioning to absorb the bumps, etc.

Love it!

Once I bought this car I started seeing it everywhere, I'm in love with my car and I saw the new version and I really want to get it With extra seats. This car is really good looking and easy to drive.

Santa Fe Hyundai

Only part that had to be replaced in the past 14 years was the starter. After 141,000 miles I finally just had to have the power steering replaced and the two rods that balance the Santa Fe in the front end from swaying left to right. The only money that I have spent on this car was for the normal suggested routine manufacturers maintenance. If you take care of your car it will be faithful to you. If I ever need to purchase another car it will be a Hyundai. Their service is excellent. Their staff is pleasant and easy to work with and I have never had to return the car to have routine maintenance redone.

May Be Older, But Still the Best

Our SUV continues to provide us comfortable ride and dependable service -- even after many years. When we get a new SUV, it will be a Hyundai,

Same question as above question.

5 Star Review

My 2003 Santa Fe runs great and only has 89,000 miles on it ... I love this car and will be taking it back to Advance Smog whenever it need an oil change or any other work done to it.

2003 Santa Fe

I purchased this vehicle second hand. It has provided me years (10) of reliable use with minimal service issues. I would buy one again.

Hyundai Santa Fe Keeps Going and Going

I'd do it all over again. This was the best choice in 2001. And again with a second 2003 later on as a used car.

Awesome vehicle

This is my "baby". I have hauled mulch, landscaping bricks, etc. in this vehicle. I take it to Suntrup for any service needed and they have never talked me into anything I didn't need. The interior is very comfortable and held up beautifully in spite of using for all sorts of chores. I had trouble with the ac but have gotten that finally fixed. This suv is 14 years old and I am just now replacing some of the mechanical parts. Even had the original battery up until 2 years ago. I love this Santa Fe. It even has a cassette player so I can listen to my favorite tapes. I will be devastated if something ever happens to this car.

Hyundai Santa Fe 2003

I love this vehicle. I have not had any issues for many years and I own this vehicle for approximately 14 years. I purchased it as a used vehicle in 2003 and I have felt safe and comfortable in this vehicle for all these years. During the last few years I have had many issues with my Santa Fe, and I believe that is because of the age of the vehicle. I am sad to think that I will have to give this vehicle up in the near future, because I don't want to put any more BIG money into it at it's age. I would recommend this vehicle, however, that is assuming the vehicle is still built as well as it was in 2003.

2003 Santa Fe

I have owned this vehicle for 14 years and have had absolutely no issues with it. I love the car. Even at 14 years of age, I am still very confident in driving it and feel safe and secure. Reliability is huge for me and this car has never let me down. Because of the age, I am considering purchasing a new car and will most likely do that in the next 6 months.
