  • Probably the BEST SUV out there - 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe
    By -

    Price, features, warranty, style, comfort, what more could you ask for? The Santa Fe has got to be one of the top SUVs out there in its price range and way above its price range. Our local Hyundai dealer (OBrian)has been awesome. We are happy Hyundai owners.

    The dealership was very fair. I was able to get TMV price on the auto without a problem and zero% for five years sold me. The auto has smooth and powerful pick up. Soft ride with good handeling. The inside is cockpit like but comfortable. Got to love all the standard features. The leather with heated seats and mirrors a must.

(not fun driving home in the rian with no winshield wipers)

  • Excellent SUV Great Value - 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe

    As a body shop owner and a Santa Fe owner this vehicle is wonderful. Ive driven almost all the others and this one is by far the best and the warranty is excellent. We bought one after fixing four of them. They are built well, and Hyundai really cares about their customers. We may even buy a second one and will trade this one in in 2005 for another one.

  • Service concern - 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe
    By -

    I have had to sevice the check engine light 8 times in less than a year..Since there is an excellent warranty for Hyundais, I have no expense but my time and effort without my vehicle during these service times is almost not worth having the Santa Fe. I bought my Santa Ff for $22,000 at 459 $ payments

  • Bang for the Buck - 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe
    By -

    We bought this vehicle as a demo unit (it had about 2800 miles on it). 10,000 miles later and several trips and weve found it to be a very useful car that has a different look and some impressive features for the price. The gas mileage seems a little on the poor side (it gets worse mileage than my 94 GMC Jimmy which has a bigger engine) but the overall ride is satisfactory. The AWD is impressive and although I wouldnt take our Santa Fe for any serious off-roading, I would trust it to handle most mud and gravel driving without serious problems. Parking in the city with this car will take some getting used to as it doesnt turn sharply...which weve found to be the only major handicap.

  • I love my Santa Fe! - 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe

    I have a 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe LX model that is awesome. One of our favorite features are the heated leather seats. We just love everything about our new SUV. Its quiet inside, nice ride, plenty of room. Took it on vacation and put a car carrier on top, it was wonderful. Like all its features, cant think of anything Hyundai missed.
