Review

By the title you've surmised it's blue in color. Buying at carmax you don't get a color choice. But color aside our 07 Vera is one great ride more standard features than any vehicle I've ever owned. We have a big family 2 kids who are going to be monsters and 2 dogs who are monsters. My only concern is the light Grey interior not good for boys, very supportive seats, good lumbar support, great exterior views, no blind spots, headlights a different story projector lowbeams have a sharp cutoff of light very good. The highbeams shine into lowflying aircraft. Adjustment I'll have to call on NASA for that. Screrws, gears, plastic not enough time. Or patience well about run out of characters.........

Favorite Features

TPS, great stereo system, seats supportive, great visibility, privacy glass no charge for third seat. Spare tire not a favorite.

Suggested Improvements

Make all headlights user friendly, all adjustments individual. bulbs easily removed. use full size spare on same wheel makes. Eliminate spare drop down system Hide spare under cargo shelf. Include compass, temp, TPS in rear view mirror. Make and install hydraulic jack system to eliminate jack

Outstanding Reliability

Review

We purchased out Veracruz Limited in August 2007 and have since driven it for 12000 miles. To date not one screwdriver has touched it. Nothing has been tightened, nothing has been repaired, and nothing has been replaced in the two years of driving. It is the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned in my 65 years of driving experience. I heartily recommend this vehicle to any one that places a high value on reliability. Its excellent design, construction, a 5 year bumper-to-bumper warranty, and 10 year warranty on the drive train makes this vehicle hard to beat in the automotive world.

Favorite Features

Safety, vision, and ease of parking.

Suggested Improvements

At 6'2" tall, and 180 pounds, I barely fit into this vehicle. The front seat needs another inch or two of head space.

Review

This car is really nice to drive. My husband who is 6'4" fits comfortably in the middle row, my 3 kids also fit very well, with room to spare(including a car seat). We have really enjoyed taking this car on trips. It has a lot of get up and go power, it rides smooth like a luxury sedan. We have been so happy with this purchase, we will more than likely purchase an upgrade in a few more years. I definitely recommend this SUV!!!

Favorite Features

Smooth Ride, interior look, blue interior dash lights, cup holder light, lots of room,turns on a dime.

Suggested Improvements

Cant think of any, I am very satisfied!!

Review

After considering the Rav4 and the Santa Fe, and neither fitting within my budget ($23k out the door). I looked into used Highlanders and the Veracruzes. Found some 2007's with all the perks (premium packages - leather, etc.), everything but the DVD player or navigation systems. This Veracruz is the most comfortable car ever! Soft on the road, and powerful when needed. Gas mileage is not the best (15city/22highway), but acceptable. The seats are super comfortable, the interior space is great! Even the 3rd row is not bad and I've sat back there (I'm 6'0). Everyone who's ridden in it loves it, and I think I'm a future Hyundai owner for life! Price was sweet at $22,300 (walkout) w/29k miles.

Favorite Features

High off the ground, large sideview mirrors, comfortable seats, nice interior blue dash lighting, soft ride, powerful, quiet!, and the rear sensors for backing up are AWESOME!, sideview mirror signals, sunroof.

Suggested Improvements

Better gas mileage (prob never happen), cross bars on the roof rack (currently just side rails), mp3 player input, get- in handles for back row (currently pull- down).

SUV I ever want to be driving

Review

We went shopping for an SUV 2 years ago. Test drove Toyota, VW and third in line was this babe. Both myself and my wife were so baffled with the quality of the vehicle, we decided to buy it immediately. sort of "love at first drive". Gives us about 19 in city driving and has given as much as 27 on highway. 2 years and we still love this babe. Engine revs freely (responds well with Shell gasoline) and is surprisingly quick off the line. Quality of materials inside the vehicle is awesome.

Favorite Features

XM radio. We would have loved blue tooth and navigation system which was not available on this first model

Suggested Improvements

None that i can think of. True value for money or rather luxury for money.

It's Ok, but not a Lexus

Review

I purchase my car in June 07, going down from a Sequoia. The Veracuse reminded me of a Lexus, but a Lexus it ain't. The seats in this car have never been as comfortable as my old Sequoia and I find the velor type material difficult to clean. The all wheel drive has been very reliable on my mountainous road, but the mileage is not good and that was the reason I traded my Sequoia in. With that model I was getting 17.8 mpg and with this vehicle it's the same or 18 mpg, what a disappointment. Now that I have 55,000 miles on the vehicle the right ball bearing has gone and the latch on the center console broke. I think Hyundai is working on improvement, but I am ready to try something else

Favorite Features

The exterior look and the all wheel component

Suggested Improvements

More comfortable seats, better construction and better gas mileage

Review

Hello, I just wanted to share with you folks my experience with my Vera-cruz limited. I now have had it over two years now and had one minor recall on it to install a better fuel filter. The car is so beautiful, I never get tired of looking at it and I have a two wheel drive and I get 24 miles per gallon, and I am amazed at the Lexus quality it has and this is my 7th Hyundai, and I will be getting the new 2009 Vera cruz with the same color and equipment as I just love this car as it has a lot of class and I can only say to you folks that buy a Hyundai and you won't regret it.. The car has the ultimate package on it and I love the 605 Watt radio and ten speakers and the dvd, wow what a car we love it

Favorite Features

605 Watt radio, adjustable petals, strong engine but should have the gegesis 3.8 290 horse engine in it, super comfortable ride, high quality inside and out, beautiful styling, and great warranty, and no problems after 2years and love the Michelin tires, and the black diamond paint, and is very quiet ride

Suggested Improvements

Needs the v8 engine as a option, and or the Genesis 290 hp 3.8 engine, side bolsters need more firm padding. Kia has the v8 option so why not the flagship Vera-cruz?why don't Hyundai offer hid headlights, should be standard on cars that cost over 30,000 dollors.

Hyundai Veracruz

Review

I purchased this vehicle in the FWD Model and not the AWD version. It is horrible in the snow, I had other FWD's and they blew this vehicle away. It gets stuck with just a dusting of snow. It also hydroplanes on the Interstate with just a little rain. The divers side window would not go up and had to go abck to dealership to correct the problem. The brake rotors had to be ground down to get rid of the shimming when the brakes were applied. I am very disappointed at the 29,000 dollar vehicle. i am getting rid of it to get something I can feel safe driving.

Favorite Features

The only nice feature with the vehicle is the style although, there is a very bad blind spot on the rear quarters that almost got my family killed. The lights are bright and this is also a hazard, since everyone hits you with theirs, even though you do not have yours on.

Suggested Improvements

It is a pain to change the oil having to remove all the bolts from the engine cover.The cheap paper oil filter did not thrill me also. The stock tires on the car should be thrown away immediately, since they are a hazard. The overall paint and body integrity is very cheap on this vehicle.

Review

Read the warranty close;you'll need it. Stranded twice for massive power loss on highway. 3 times to the dealer for elec. glitches like alarm system malfunction. Warranty only allows for two roadside rescues per 12 month period; we needed more. Amazingly, if their vehicle breaks down more than twice in any one 12 month period, you have to pick up the towing fees to get them to fix something that's under warranty! You have work hard to get over 20mph in this car. Around town in gets 17 or so if you keep your foot out of it. If you drive like it's a 4 cylinder, you can get 22 on the highway (with a tailwind). If we could rewind the clock we wouldn't buy this car. Pay the extra $ for a Toyota.

Favorite Features

Road noise is very high in this car, which I enjoy since it makes the premium stereo hard to hear.

Suggested Improvements

An iron clad durable warranty would be beneficial with this car with roadside assistance that stands behind the warranty, no matter what. Mileage is average for category, but at least it's advertised to be above average - which is helpful for sales I'm sure.

Veracruz at 25,000 miles

2007 Hyundai Veracruz Limited 4dr SUV AWD (3.8L 6cyl 6A)

Review

My wife and I purchased 07 Veracruz AWD Limited Natural Khaki on mothers day May 07. We know have 25,000 miles on it, and it has been the best car we have ever owned. Our friends always ask "is that a Lexus?" The car is great on highway and in the snow, the only problem we have had was the TPMS light staying on, it was a module that needed replacing, no other issues.

Favorite Features

Heated seats, AT rear hatch, backup sensors, great stereo, dual AC, 3rd row, quietness, AWD, and all the safety features

Suggested Improvements

Side body molding, change front end styling, suspension needs to be softer over bumps
