The best vehicle I've owned

My first Hyundai was a 2002 Santa Fe which I selected after a lot of research and a visit to the local car show. I drove it for two years, then traded for a 2004 model. I made a point of taking it in for all scheduled maintenance and it has paid off with years of reliability. I have now driven 180K miles and, with the occasional repair, she's still going strong. I'm not in the market for a new vehicle but when I am there's no question that I will buy another Hyundai.

Excellent car for the money

The ten year warranty was a great plus. Even though we had few problems, in the 9th year the power steering went out. Hyundai replaced it for free. We are at 116,000 miles and the car has run like a champ never letting us down. My next car will be a Santa Fe if I ever give this one up.

GREAT SUV

THIS IS THE BEST SUV OUT THERE. I HAVE HAD MY 2004 HYUNDAI SANTA FE AND HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH IT. NEVER NOT STARTED, HAS MADE IT THOUGH 12 CHICAGO WINTERS. HAS 180,000 MILES ON IT AND IS STILL GOING STRONG. BEST SUV EVER MADE. I HAVE PEOPLE ASKING FOR A PRICE TO BUY IT ALL THE TIME. YOU NEED TO MAKE THIS STYLE AGAIN CAUSE THIS WAS A BIG SELLER THEN AND IF AVAILABLE WILL BE A BIG SELLER NOW.

Classic!!

I own the 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe 3.5L. The best in its class. This model should be revived. It just need an interior update and allowing for new improvements, this model is very good indeed!!!

Dependable and comfortable vehicle

My Hyundai Santa Fe has been with me since it was new in 2004. We've traveled far together in real comfort & dependability. I am hoping to continue driving this vehicle until I can't go any more and with the wonderful care that Hyundai provides me, that might just happen!

I LOVE my Hyundai.

My Hyundai Santa Fe is a very great vehicle. Luxurious interior with a really nice stereo system & plenty of room for passengers / cargo makes the driving experience an awesome one. Plenty of power with a V6 engine & All wheel drive makes the Santa Fe an extremely versatile vehicle for all weather & terrain conditions with a decent fuel economy. The suspension system is great as well I hardly even know that I am driving! The Hyundai Santa Fe handles real well too especially for being an all wheel drive SUV vehicle.

Hyundai Santa Fe

The Hyundai Santa Fe is without a doubt the most luxurious car for the money. It has luxury items you will not find on any other comparable model Automobile. People often compliment it for style and quality.

Durable and comfortable vehicle!

We really love our Santa Fe. It's spacious, especially when seats are folded down. It's powerful! We used it to tow two different boats on their trailers from Ohio to North Carolina. It's nearing 200,000 miles and we haven't had any engine issues at all. The engine is accessible, so maintenance is convenient, unlike out other import car. We ARE having a chronic alignment issue, the root cause of which, neither the dealership nor other garages are able to determine. And, the big 3.5L engine uses a lot of gas. All in all, it's a great vehicle and we're glad we bought it!

Strong car with some flaws

We have owned an 04 2.7L for 13 years and 120k miles. This vehicle has been very reliable. With just regular maintenance the motor and transmission have had very few issues. The only complaints fall into the quality of the parts used on this vehicle. Every door handle on the car has broke and needed replacing. The paint has oxidized and is ruined all over the car. The interior door handle on the drivers side needed replacing. The dash is also lifting at the vents.

Great Car

My 2004 Santa Fe has been cross country twice. Just did 100,000 overhaul. If I didn't like my car I wouldn't have done it. My next car will probably be a Santa Fe too. We have 3 Hyundai cars in our family.

2004 Santa Fe

This is a very serviceable and dependable vehicle with reasonable economy considering it is a spirited V-6. Nice size for people and their paraphernalia. Tried is better than expected. All wheel drive is useful in the winter particularly, but is nice to have anytime.. Having bought it used, I cannot comment on relative value.

Love my car

I love my Santa Fe. I've had it since it was new and I haven't had any major issues with it. The only "issue" over the years is that on occasion, the transmission slips, especially while I am stopped. I've had it in several times, even to different dealerships, and no one had been able to determine why it would do this. I've lived with it all these years, and it's never really bothered me.
