Hyundai Santa Fe

Santa Fe is reliable and durable vehicle with unique features that make driving a pleasure and with less maintenance requirement. Buying a Hyundai Santa Fe was a correct decision with a competitive price.

My Santa Fe

I would always say I would never buy a Hyundai. Boy was I wrong. Since I have owned my Santa Fe, I will never by anything else. I honestly love it.

Santa Fe is a great car!

My Santa Fe is eight years old and going strong. Lot's of power. Great gas mileage and a comfortable ride. It really does well in snow.

Love it!

I've driven my Santa Fe for 8 years now and still love it. I previously have owned several Mercedes and find this car equal and above my satisfaction levels of my Mercedes diesel and high end coupe Mercedes in comfort, ease of handling, and interior quality.....plus the warranty was FAR superior and the ongoing service costs are FAR LESS!

Dependable Performance

Overall the 2008 Hyudaai Sante Fe is a dependable, solid performer. The engine is more than reliable with above average power with no major issues to speak of. The AWD feature is much appreciated in the cold Winters & lake effect snow belts of West Michigan. Yes, the O2 sensor went bad & some wheel bearings had to be replaced but still very satisfied with this vehicle.

Love it!

I love the Santa Fe. Drover my last one to almost 300,000 miles.......repairs became more than the vehicle worth so I traded it for a newer Santa Fe. Comfortable ride, spacious interior. Love the Santa Fe!!

2008 Hyundai Santa Fe

Love my Santa Fe. It is now 8 years old and I have never had a problem. It has 107,000 miles and still going strong. I love the all wheel drive in ice and snow and the ebs braking system works great.

The best

I've had my Santa Fe for approximately 8 years now. I have not had to have any additional work done on it other than the scheduled maintence. Buying this vehicle in another state I was apprehensive to bring it to a different dealer. After my first visit to Larry Miller I knew that would not be an issue. They have always been on time and considerate during my wait times. I have even been able to take advantage of their drop off and pick up to the near mall while they work on my car.

Dependable and Comfortable!

As a newly divorced woman my Hyundai Santa Fe was the first car I ever bought on my own. Since I drove a lot for work I needed a car that was dependable, safe and yet fun to drive. The experience of buying the car which I was dreading turned out to be pleasant and hassle free. In addition, I have never had a moments trouble with my car and always feel safe driving the car in whatever weather condition arises. I like the car so much, that I am actually considering buying another Santa Fe in the near future.

Brake

The brakes are not the best. Brake pedal is always soft. Nothing that dealership can do.

Santa Fe

I love my Hyundai. It has been my favorite car so far. ( of the 8 vehicles ) It has a nice ride. Not the gas mileage it said on the sticker but ok. There is room for guess to be comfortable in the front and back seats.

My Santa Fe

I have had my car since January 2009. It is my first experience with a foreign car and the experience has been great. The original warranty was awesome. To date I have not had any major problems (except a problem with the gas gage going to empty when tank was full but the problem was covered under warranty). I love the look of my SUV....even after seven years. I would buy my car again in a heartbeat. I have growing boys and wish Hyundai made a larger SUV, who knows maybe one day they will

Love My Sante Fe

Purchased mine in 2008, off the lot. Roomy, still runs great, although beginning to see a drop in gas mileage. Great features for the price I paid. Love my "butt warmers", heater mirrors and the feel of a car although it's an SUV. More leg and elbow room than many similar size competitor ones I test drove. I'm a tall woman, and was extremely pleased to find an SUV that allowed a sunroof and head room at the same time! They are difficult to find, unless you have the seat all the way down or back - but not with the Santa Fe. Great service center and technicians. I felt I got the greatest "bang for my buck" as they say by purchasing this vehicle. One main issue, the paint started peeling in spots. Need to talk to Service center about that! Otherwise, I hope my Sante Fe lasts me another 8 years!! I take it in for all the routine service check ups and follow the technicians advice, so it should last me for quite some time yet to come! I hope!!

Great ride and value for the money.

The best thing I like about my Santa Fe is the feeling of safety when I'm driving it. Visibility is excellent, stability while cornering is excellent, bad weather is never a problem. Also, the price was reasonable, and I got LOTS OF BELLS & WHISTLES. The only thing I wish was better is the miles per gallon. Wish there was a way to get all this car less trips to the pump.
