  • Most features for price! - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe

    I just bought the 2003 Santa Fe in artic blue, it is a very nice color but hard to find, and with the features it has like leather interior, automatic climate control, and six in-dash cd changer to name a few. The Santa Fe drives like a car, drives smooth and very good going around corners. The heated front seats are nice but since I live in Florida I havent used that feature yet. It is very comfortable no matter where you sit in the car, from the driver seat to the back seat. Although the driver seat is the best seat in the car.

  • Never buy another one - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe

    I brought my Sante Fe two years ago in 2004. It was ok at first and then at 27,000 mies the clutch started to stick. It would lock up in 2nd gear. Well, I took it to the dealership and thet were supposed to fixin the problem. Well guess what! One month later when I got it back it ran smoothly for 2 weeks now Im havin the same problem again after they claim to hav replaced the Transmission, well in addition to that! Ive spent 300 dollars on tires not to mention the brakes has some issues! All I have to say is Im done with Hyundai! I will either trade it or get rid of it!!!!!

    We bought our Santa Fe in March and already have 7000 miles on it. We take it everywhere! It is so comfortable, whether riding in the front or back. Its always a race when we leave to see who gets to the drivers seat first!

    We needed to find a vehicle that would ride similarly to the unit it replaced which was a 1995 full size Ford conversion van. My wife & I went on an 1100 mile trip in the van and her hip never hurt or caused us to stop. When we would ride in our 1995 Lumina, her maximun duration was an hour. We test drove the Santa Fe and it met her needs. We have the 4 cyl. seems to give it plenty of go at highway speeds. It lacks a little on the low end but not bad. Just put your foot in a little deeper! We hope to drive it for at least 5-7 years.

    This new Santa Fe is the fourth Hyundai we have bought - 2 Accents and 2 Santa Fes. Hyundai honors its 10-year warranty, although we have hardly had to use it. The Santa Fe is the first car I have had that I truly have enjoyed- all the cars I used to have were just transportation.

    I rented a santa fe for a week and was hooked, when I had to give up my Infinity I went to look at Hondas and other reliable cars and came upon a Hyundai at the Honda dealer and I loved it, the value for the money was so much better than any Honda they had on their lot. I took it even though it had high milage and never regreted it.

  • Great Value for its Time - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
    By -

    Bought the LX for my wife in Nov 2002. She is 52" and loves it. I am 62" and it is great around town, bit of a challenge on all-day drives. Been to Colorado skiing in 2x and it is great in the mountains. MPG could be more, but the feds killed it with crappy ethanol (insane idea to use food for fuel). Get 18 or 19 mpg around town, stop and go. Interstate driving nets 26+ at 70-80mph. (Ours is the 4 spd auto.) Downside has been recent - right side lock is failing. The radio is poor on AM (had the antenna replaced once) and the radio display is on/off intermittently. Ive used all BG products and done careful maintenance - Santa Fe should go to 150K easily.

  • One of the best out there! - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
    By -

    This is an excellent car. My husband and I researched cars quite extensively...RAV4, Vue, CRV, Liberty...and overall the Hyundai far surpassed all others. It performs, is made well, has incredible standard features, and the price was unbeatable!
