  • The Hidden Secret - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
    By -

    You dont hear much talk about the Santa Fe compared to hondas, nissans, or toyotas. Its value & Quality is like a hidden secret. I feel that it surpasses them all in value and its solid construction is all anyone needs. Only two things I dont like about my hyundai is gas milage and the fact that the bumpers have no protection from scratches. Obviously the people who designed this car dont drive or have to park in NY city. People continually bump into it scratching the painted bumpers. They need to think about some bumper guards or grills at least as an option with the car.

  • Great Value and Performance - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe

    We have taken our Santa Fe out on the beach this summer and we never once got stuck. We have driven it in ice and snow and it gave us a real sense of security. It got up icy hills with no problem! Before we bought it, we did not like the design, but after awhile we actually grew to like it so much! It does not look like every other SUV and the distinctive, flared front fenders gives it a classy, designer look. The 2.7 engine can be a bit sluggish at times, but the Santa Fe gets 18-22 miles per gallon, and that is quite acceptable.

    Gas gauge a little off but no issues outside of this. Great to drive in all weather. Plenty of room for 4 grown ups on a long trip. Sunroof a plus.

  • 03 Santa Fe - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
    By -

    Purchased new Santa Fe GLS 6 cyl. Fun to drive, fuel efficient, good ride. Only complaint is that when I purchased from Planet Hyundai in Las Vegas they had over 100. Every one had a tow hitch and mud flaps installed at the factory which most people dont want. However, none of the GLS models had ABS which saves money on insurance....had to up one grade and take a moonroof in order to get ABS....every vehicle sold in US that has ABS available should have it installed at the factory.

  • Best car I own - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
    By -

    I love this car. And I believe that Hyundai is one of the best values you can have. What you get for the money from Hyundai cant be beat. I have purchased 3 new Hyundais from my dealer in the past 5 years, thats how satisfied I am!

  • Nice little SUV - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
    By -

    Smaller SUV but looks much better than others in the market. Decent gas mileage for an SUV but not great. Runs well, looks good, sounds good, overall a nice vehicle.

  • the new toyota - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe

    We have had our santa fe for about 3 1/2 months now and we love it. We took it on a road trip from southern cali all the way up north to napa valley.The ride was great, smooth, quiet, and fun. Despite some reviews ive read saying its underpowered i do not believe so with the 3.5 liter engine. Its no sports car but it does have get up and go. We researched almost all the suvs out there (ford tribute, rav4, nissan xtera, jeep, montero, the hondas, mountaineer and kia) and for price, features, warranty and safety the santa fe was our winner.The price, safety, and warranty lead us to the santa fe. (check out the warranty and research it online.)

  • More than expected - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
    By -

    Overall, my Hyundai purchase has been a very pleasant surprise. It is a fantastic value - the car looks and drives like a luxury SUV. The outside design is great and the inside is filled with intutitive features and extras - it even has a first aid kit.

  • I have found my car soul mate - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
    By -

    Fell in love at first sight. Drove 2.5L, got 3.5 L. More get up and go. Same gas milage as 2000 Grand Prix. Make up excuses to drive. Get looks all the time especially since had really great graphics put on sides. New liscense plate surrounds finish the look.

  • Better than gold - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
    By -

    Lets talk service... I bought the car over the internet from Miami. Paperwork and a set of key was fedexed and my car was parked at the Denver airport with a location map faxed to me. No car dealership will do that for you. The Santa Fe is delightful and when I am back in Miami with my S430 I still miss it.
