Great SUV and very durable

I purchased a new Santa Fe from Rick Case in 2008. With 125,000 miles on it and combined with regular maintenance has only needed the normal wear/tear items (breaks, tires, etc.). It's a great car!

Obsolete in features but a pleasure to drive

I purchased the Santa Fe used, with only 47K miles on it in 2016. It replaced a 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport. After a period of adjustment, I found it responsive on the road and reliable. The cabin is noisy at sustained highway speeds but the seats are comfortable except for an inability to retract the driver's seat to provide more legroom, and I have short legs. Limitations aside, I have found that it suits my needs satisfactorily and I find its stability of adjustment very pleasing.

2008 Santa Fe w/ 30k miles

Love my car, and from recent communication from Hyundai it is worth a whole lot more to me than you would ever pay as a trade-in. Interesting I cannot comment unless all 200 characters are used, bazaar.

Customer

It’s been a great car! Very little problems with it. The only thing was the gas gauge stopped working and it was too expensive to repair. Overall it has been a great car and the dealership has been wonderful to work with.

Superb!

I Love my Santa Fe! It is comfortable and dependable and has all the features I need. When I need that extra power to enter the highway, it doesn’t hesitate. I keep up on oil changes and tire rotations and expect to be driving it for many years to come. I can’t imagine a better vehicle.

Reliable vehicle

We have had this car in the family for about two years. It has been reliable. Only routine maintenance so far. I think it has about 140k so far. My only dislike as a 6 foot tall person is I’d like a little more leg room and or higher seats.

Sante Fe

First time buyer, 2008 Sante Fe. Pleased so far, like the styling and features. Have 3rd row seating but gave up some of the head space in the front seat. Love it otherwise. Have to try a newer one to see if the problems been solved.

2008 Sante Fe Limited

I love my 2008 Sante Fe!! It has been the best vehicle I have ever owned. It is the perfect size for me and I really like the room in the back especially when I have to haul something big. The seats lay down and it is amazing what I can get in the back of my car. I love the V6 engine. It has the power I need for driving in the crazy traffic around Austin! It is a great cruising vehicle and makes driving fun when out on the highways too. I have a huge CD collection and have really enjoyed my 6 disc CD player. The speakers my Sante Fe came with have been outstanding for listening to my favorite tunes. When I have friends riding in the backseat they have always complemented how much leg room they have. One day I will trade it in for a new one, but until then I am going to continue enjoying my 2008 Sante Fe while I can!

Reliable and comfortable transportation.

My vehicle has been reliable for several years with very few problems or repairs. Why do you need two hundred characters for a review? I can't think of anything else to add - other than that I hope it continues to provide good transportation.

Great Vehicle!

The new 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe gives you even more for the money. This is my 3rd Santa Fe and it just keeps getting better. The ride is even smoother, the interior is beautiful, and the addition of Apple/Android Car play on the base model was a great surprise.

2008 Hyundai Santa Fe

I would say, a good SUV, had alot of recalls done, New windshield, and bad on Gas, there are some things on this car that I just missed on, that the next new vehicles have better gas mileage etc. One thing I do not like is my headlights have gotten bad and look cheap. Gas gage went bad under 40,000 miles NOT GOOD!! My care is my SUV mostly sits out and the back spoiler on top is ugly now, I love the Santa Fe's but the paint on some areas not the best, and I would consider another Hyundai, No bigger but maybe another model. and the front grill black paint has worn and looks not so nice. Paint is still ok, but if I get another car it has to be top quality with safety, gas mileage has to be better, paint and outside much better. Sometimes when I want the CD changer to work good, it has trouble changing and this is an infinity system.

Santa Fe Fan

I have owned my 2008 Santa Fe for 11 years and over 110,000 miles. It is a pretty basic 6-cylinder model. Most people have a hard time believing that it is that old. I do regular maintenance on it and don't worry about it. It has been a terrific vehicle--very dependable and functional. Other than batteries, tires, and oil changes, I have had to put very little into this vehicle. It is the best vehicle I've ever had. When it's day is done, I'll get my next Santa Fe.

My first new car

This was my first new car. I have enjoyed it and looking forward to pass my car to my daughter for her first car. I upset that price of the new generation price has gone up. I might have switched models or different brand.

Santa Fe

At the age of 80 and having been thru Ford, Mercury & Dodge cars, the 3 best cars I have ever owned were '57 chevy, '65 nova & now a Hyundai that were all bought at Circle Chevy. Sorry, but I hope the Hyundai Santa Fe which I love will outlive me.

2008 Santa Fe Limited

Excellent Car in every respect. Do not have any downside that i can think of for this year/model/trim. Some people may prefer a bit softer ride and prefer the 17 inch tires v the 18 inch that come standard. But the 18 inch provide more confidence at high speeds emergency handling.

2008 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited

This is a great car. We bought it in 2012 from another car dealer and the mileage was around 54,000. The mileage now is around 208,000 and the car still runs very well. We keep in on a normal service schedule and any major work from brakes to alignment to tire we take care of it.

Great little suv!

SUV! Love this car. Handles well, and is a smooth ride. Easy to maintain and the cargo space is outstanding. I am able to keep emergency items and our hammocks and towels in the trunk with no one the wiser, you never know when life will present an opportunity to hit the lake! Clearance is grand, so when we get to the bumpy ruts in the road, it handles them well. Wish it had more towing capability, but for now, we love this car. It's also really comfortable for long car trips, plenty of leg room and seat space. Four adults were plenty comfortable with all our luggage fitting easily in the back. With 2 adults and 2 teenagers, we had no arguments on a trip that took 48hours! Now that's a miracle! Way to go Hyundai Santa Fe!
