Love the Santa Fe

I bought this new in 2008 and still love it! My husband passed away, so it means a lot to have a very reliable vehicle. Other than a recall in 2018 for an oil leak, I haven’t had any issues. Very happy.

A Santa Fe will be on the top of my list when I choose/purchase my next vehicle.

I purchased my '08 Sante Fe in early 2009. I have followed-through on regular maintenance through Family Hyundai for the past nine years. After nearly 150,000 miles, my Hyundai Sante Fe continues to drive very well. The V6 has provided enough power when traveling through the Rocky Mountains. The V6 has averaged about 20 mpg (city/highway). Very satisfied, but wished the miles per gallon was better.

Great used car that makes you want to consider a new one when ready

Purchased a 2008 used Santa Fe with 107K miles. Use as our errand car, or for use on gravel roads. It has lots of room, functions very well. Has a V6/stick and averages 25+ mpg. We know many owners and all report no issues with high mileage. They seem to be tuff SUV's that have a great warranty, good dealer network, and a great bargain.

Hyundai Santa Fe

I have had my 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe for 10 years, and driven over 167,000 miles. The car runs as well today as it did 10 years ago. Having it serviced at Keffer Hyundai on a regular basis I feel I continue to get that "new car" feeling and I continue to get people saying how well it runs and looks. Looking forward to getting another Santa Fe (if this one ever gets old) in the future.

Love my Santa Fe

Fell in love with the car from the test drive. Great looking, easy to drive, comfortable and roomy. We have car camped several times. Get decent gas Milagros for an SUV. My next car will definitely be another Santa Fe

Reliable and fun to drive

Have enjoyed my car. Now has almost 100,000 miles and still going. I may get another Santa Fe next time, but not sure I like the new model as much. Back seat seems really low. One plus with Hyundai is the 100,000 mile warranty.

My Santa Fe has been kept in excellent working condition. It’s been 10 years and I still enjoy driving my Santa Fe! Rick Case has helped me to keep it in great working well!!! I plan to purchase another Santa Fe!

I LOVE MY SANTA FE

I have driven my Santa Fe for 8 year and absolutely love it. I take drive to El Paso at least once a month. It is a smooth comfortable ride. It is not bad on gas could be a little better. I believe Hyundai is a very reliable car.

Love the Santa Fe Sport!!

I recently had the great pleasure of driving a 2018 Santa Fe Sport on a nearly 1,000 mile trip. The Santa Fe was AMAZING in comfort, ride, and maneuverability! The steering was nimble, responsive, and effortless. From the driver's side, all accessories were easy to read and reach. The heated seat was a real bonus! Cabin temperature control was a cinch and easy to maintain. Plenty of leg room all around, and the easily adjusted seat made for additional comfort on my long drive. Love, love, love this vehicle!!!

best suv

One of the best SUV in the market. It never regret to purchase SANTA FE models. Since I drove 10 years, I have not had any major issue so far. I am planning to drive additional 10 year more years. It is such a good car.

Santa Fe Satisfaction

I am on my 3rd Santa Fe and have been very pleased with each one. After I got my 2008 Santa Fe it have been the best one yet. I said at 100,000 miles that I would keep it forever. It is now at 149,000

auto review

Keep in mind that this car is 10 yrs old so not up to date with the newest gadgets. I have had almost no problems with this car in 10 yrs and the couple of issues have been paid for by the extended service contract. I love my santa fe. It has plenty of power and I have driven cross country several times. I get about 24 to 27 MPG. Wonderful automobile and I will replace it with another when I am ready........

Satisfy

I bought my Santa Fe new in 2008. Ten years later, 135k miles, still have it, and the only thing that I have had to do to it, is regular maintenance. The biggest cost that happen just recently, was fuel pump and senser replacement. Which I look at being long term maintenance too. Excellent vehicles, and would buy another one.

2018 Santa Fe

My Santa Fe is really comfortable. The ride is always smooth and enjoyable. With all the safety gadgets that are installed in the vehicle I feel a lot safer. It has a great turning radius compared to other suvs. I can easily u-turn out of tight spots. I’m in love with my new Santa Fe!

Santa Fe 2008

Purchased this vehicle in March 2009, have had no maintenance issues over the 9 years that we have driven it. The warranty is great and the price for the car you got is outstanding. It has plenty of cargo room and gets decent gas mileage.

Love my Hyundai Santa Fe

I have a 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe -- bought it new. This has been the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned. It is comfortable, great for traveling, hauling, and just run of the mill driving around. I have had very few problems beyond regular wear and tear. Better gas mileage would make it perfect.

Lynn's 2018 Hyundai

I have enjoyed my Hyundai all these years and, hopefully, will be getting another one sometime this year. It has been very reliable until now and I'm beginning to have problems with it. Will get another one.

Smooth and dependable ride

I bought my 2008 Sante Fe new and now have over 180,000 miles on it. I have changed my oil as recommended and use synthetic oil. The tires are a little pricey but well worth it for the comfortable ride. The only thing I would change is to have a little cushier seat.

2008 Hyundai Sant Fe

Out of the 7 cars I've bought in my lifetime, about the best car I've owned (only 1 other make/model could rival it). Have about 180,000 miles on it & with doing proper maintenance had very little go wrong with it--hopefully will continue for another year when I will be in market for another car. Next car I buy plan to look at the new Santa Fe's and maybe the Tucson.
