I currently own a 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe GLS AWD and it is amazing! this vehicle has served me and my family well for over 12 years with little to no repairs done at all! I have had no major/minor repairs done ever besides basic necessary maintenance. I have just reached 106,XXX miles with no problems at all even though its a city car. I have no concerns/disappointments with this very reliable vehicle. This vehicle is very safe also earning a 2007 IIHS top saftey pick award. I would most certainly recommend this vehicle to anyone looking for a affordable, safe, and reliable vehicle weather its for you, or to take your kids to a on vacations. This car has served very very well for the past 12 years. I would highly recommend this vehicle to anyone that wants value, reliability, styling, and comfort, safety, and a reliable vehicle. This vehicle in my opinion is as, or more reliable as any past or present Toyota vehicle. I truly think this is the most reliable CUV out there right now. I would highly recommend this. If you have the opportunity I would buy this vehicle over any Honda, Toyota, Nissan, etc. This car also does amazing in the snow, rain, sleet, ice, etc. it has the best AWD system in a car in my opinion! Again this a AMAZING CAR!!! BUY NOW!!!

Chronic Sensor Problems

4 of 5 people found this review helpful

Although a comfortable car, I have had chronic problems with the sensors since it reached about 13,000 miles. I currently only have 21,000 miles, and yet it has been in the shop three times this summer, and probably 8 times last summer. Every time they think they have found which sensor it is, a few weeks later the check engine light comes on after the car starts hesitating and what seems like misfiring. When you pay $26000 for a new car, you should be able to rely on it when you still have such low mileage.

Don't Waste Your Money!

When I first bought my Santa Fe, I was more than excited. I loved the car, had a great buying experience. 10 months later, I am in arbitration with Hyundai! The transmission slips, the 02 sensors have gone out twice, get 50 miles out of a 1/2 tank of gas, all fuses and sensors had to be replaced, and more. The car has been in the shop for almost 45 days since purchase. Don't let the great warranty fool you, I have had nothing but problems with the company and dealers I have used. If the BBB decides Hyundai does not have to buy back, I will fight it to the end. Waste of my hard earned money!

Best Car Ever

2007 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited 4dr SUV (3.3L 6cyl 5A)

This is the first Hyundai that we've owned. We are long-term Honda and Toyota drivers. It was my 15-year-old daughter who urged me to test drive a Santa Fe. Boy, am I glad she did. I was trying to convince myself that I really wanted the new Honda CRV,but the road noise was so bad and the ride so uncomfortable, that I was not happy with it. The Rav4 wasn't impressing me either. Then I drove the Santa Fe, fully expecting that I wouldn't care for it. Well, was I wrong. I was sold the moment I drove it off the lot for the test drive. It was so smooth, so comfortable, so quiet. My dealer was great. And the best part, because my daughter urged me to try it, she got a finder's fee ... sweet.

Do Not Buy This Car

I bought this car and two days later it needed an alignment. Two weeks later the drive shaft had a defective washers. About a 6 weeks later the engine mount broke. Not to mention the window molding falling off. And now it makes a noise everytime I pull into my driveway, I was told it was the ABS and that it just makes that noise. Save yourself time and money, shop for a different vehicle.

i'll have to say i was skeptical when i bought my first korean car.but i convinced myself that the quality was there and I have not been disappointed. i fIrst bought the Azera, the absolute finest car I own..and i currently own a Lexus and BMW(big family)..all are recent models..these are both great cars..however..I needed another vehicle and chose to look at the sante fe for my wife..she loves it and so do I. I totally agree with the other reviews on gas mileage,and i get as advertised..on the first 3-4 tanks. i just bought on 12-31..but the styling and ride as well as the price i was out the door for 21500... it has close comparisons to the RX-330 and blows away competion at price/warranty

Excellent Crossover SUV

I have a 2007 FWD SE Santa Fe in Slate Blue and I am very impressed and happy with my purchase. The Santa Fe handles well, looks good and is fun to drive. On top of that, it comes with one of the best warranties available all at a great price. I haven't had a chance to do any long distance driving yet, but in city driving and on my 15 mile commute I have been getting around 21 MPG.

2007 Hyundai Santa Fe Ltd.

I was leaning toward the Nissan Murano until I drove the Santa Fe Ltd. Not only was it almost $5000 less than the Murano comparably equipped, but it had less road noise and 7 passenger seating vs. 5 in the Murano with a much better warranty to boot.
