My Santa Fe is my favorite car I've ever owned.

I bought my current Santa Fe in 2009 because I wanted an SUV that was comfortable enough to take trips in and rugged enough to drive around the farm on dirt and gravel roads. I have never been disappointed with this car. It has had very little go wrong with it in the last 8 years, gets average mileage for a mid-sized SUV, is comfortable (especially in the front seats) for long days on the road, has well-placed controls, and enough maneuverability to be able to run around on the farm without problems. Before buying, I researched all the SUVs that were in the size and price range that I was interested in, and the Santa Fe seemed to be the best choice. It seems I chose well, because I have no intention of giving this car up until the wheels finally fall off. I only hope that when that happens, Hyundai is still making the Santa Fe because that's what I plan to buy again.

Love it but

I love everything about this car but the issue with the gas sensor. I have precious cargo riding in my car, I can't afford to run out of gas and me and my grandkids are on side of the road, that's dangerous. Who wants to spend there time worrying about if I am about to run out of gas. I think it is very disrespectful for Hyundai not to do a recall on this issuse. You don't want to put your good perfume on to end up smelling like gas, at times the gas is unbearable. Come on Hyundai fix this for your customers. I spend to much time watching my dashboard for check engine light and low gas light, not good. Consumers didn’t create the problem and should not be made to fix it , it time for more accountability on Hyundai's part

40,000 miles and no issues besides regular maintenence

It was a replacement for a Lexus that was totaled in a wreck. After much research and not wanting a car payment with insurance settlement. We bought this car for my wife who is very happy with it.

Santa Fe

The Santa Fe offers that awesome 3rd row seating and a touch of luxury with the limited edition. If I won the lottery today, I'd upgrade to a brand new one. I love it!

Old Reliable

This vehicle is rugged and dependable. I like the pep it still has from when we got it brand new. I was thinking of replacing it, but it's still in workhouse mode and I hate to walk away from that.

Great value for the dollar. Wonderful service. May even have a third Santa Fe or maybe even a Tucson.

Santa Fe is the best car ever!

This has been the best, lowest-maintenance car I've ever owned (and I'm not young?). I have literally never had any problems with it. It is 9 yrs old, and still going strong! Thank you!!

Perfect for my needs

This has the space my truck didn't have and even pulls my boat better. So far I only had a few problems with the vehicle but they were fairly minor. These are notorious for the fuel sensors going bad. Other than that I had the alternator and a valve cover replaced. Other than that I have a check engine light that comes on for emissions when my fuel level gets low. I suspect the seal wasn't installed right when fuel sensors were replaced.

Best Value and Great Performance

I have had three Hyundai's and each of them are great performers and offer a lot of value and features for the price. Any other vehicle would cost many times more for what you get with this vehicle.

Love the Santa Fe

We love our Santa Fe SE. We bought it new a 2008 in 2009. We want to buy a new model Santa Fe. But we hate to give our present 2008 Santa Fe SE. It only has 53,000 miles on it. Also, love that warranty. It give lots of a good feeling.

Love my Santa Fe

One of the best cars I have ever had. Love the comfy interior, really smooth ride, even for an SUV. Had for almost 10 years and no major issues. Had another brand for just a few years - Was the biggest lemon, basically had to replace the engine and transmission(at my expense) before the car was paid off.
