  • Execellent SUV to drive and ride in - 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe
    By -

    As this is the first SUV that I have owned it is a very comfortable and pleasurable vehicle to drive.I purchased this vehicle on 03/16/04 and went thru 2or3 snow storms with it and the awd and traction control worked perfectly.I now have over 10,000 miles on the Santa Fe with no complaints.Back to the dealer for one minor recall and oil changes every 3,000 miles. This is the second Hyundai I own.

  • Reliable, trouble free so far! - 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe

    I just turned 95,000 miles on my 2004 Santa Fe. No problems so far except normal maintenance: windshield wiper blades every 2 years, tires every 4 years-usually worn out by then, change oil every 6 months or 6-7000 miles for conventional or 7-10000 miles on synthetic. I changed the transmission oil twice (drain and fill) at 40k miles, and again at 80k miles). Oh, I changed both front bulbs after one of the bulbs burned out at around 70k miles. Replaced front and rear brakes and rotors at 85k miles. I will do the timing belt sometime soon. No problems! Best car I have owned so far.

    Ive owned three Santa Fes... 01, 03, and 04. This is by far the best and most fun to drive. I just passed 31k miles and have had zero problems.

  • just put in gas and go. - 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe
    By -

    I am 6 ft. tall and have lots of room to be comfortable. Works fine but have not had it long. Moved jack handle off jack and not a rattle or squeak since. If it stays this way cant ask for any better. One very small crab....mileage indicator hard to read in daytime.

  • Great suv at a great price - 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe
    By -

    Let your misguided friends spend twice as much on an overpriced, unreliable domestic SUV. THIS SUV is for the smart consumer who wants a great car, style and a superior warrenty at a great price!

  • I Love It! - 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe
    By -

    I finally bought my dream car. It has body design like No other SUV on the market - not boxy not square but sleek and bubbly. It is a fun light midsize suv for anyone. Hyundai has become my hero as far as make is concern; this is the second Hyundai I have purchased and am even more pleased with this than the first. Well build, Excellently priced, fun, stylish, and everyone asks me how a guy like me can afford such a nice car. I named him Deshawn.

  • Tried and true friend! - 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe
    By -

    Ive owned my car four years, 25,000 miles. It has always been reliable, never one problem. I was in an accident two years ago and had the front-end rebuilt. I anticipated problems, and still nothing! I traded cars for a day recently, and I really missed my sweet little Santa Fe! I do mostly city driving, but did take a road trip (10 hours each way) to the desert. She was a stellar off-road performer.
