My wife and I are loyal Subaru owners, but when we were in the market for a new family car, we thought we would give Hyundai a shot. When my wife drove this vehicle for the first time, she basically said forget the Subaru, I want this Santa Fe!! If the word "Hyundai" makes you think of an old '86 Excel, well it's definitely time to change your thinking. This is a well-built vehicle that offers great utility in a very bold, unique looking package, of course backed by an incredible warranty. If you are in the market for a small SUV, don't let the name Hyundai fool you..... check this vehicle out!!

After 50,000 miles we're still very pleased with our 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe. Aside from some rough shifting that required some transmission-related computer updates, we've had no real trouble. Gas mileage is lower than expected, but the overall build quality inside and out we're still pleased with. No squeaks, rattles, or strange noises, and the road noise is low.

Love the long warranty! i am meticulous about maintanence because i must drive so much. with michelin and bridgestone tires excelent in bad driving conditions and roo for the long trips eaternoh to central missouri. little glitches is check engine lite for vacuum mostly and emission control stuff and small creatures like to chew wiring but service dept has been great.

Beats the Ford Escape & Jeep Victory!!

We have driven it for almost two months and love it. It's easy to get accustomed to all the switches and pedals - the seats are soft and comfortable. It has plenty of "get up and go" for all the hills, etc. we have. We would definately want the 3.0L if we wanted to tow/haul things. We drove the Ford Escape, Mazda Tribute (the same motor as the Ford Escape), Jeep Victory and other Jeeps and Saturn Vue and kept going back to the Hyundai Santa Fe! Compare apples to apples and you'll come out way ahead of the others with the Santa Fe.
