  Never say never - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By BG53 - May 14 - 10:00 am

  Only owned for two weeks, so impressions are still forming, but so far I am greatly impressed. Feel I got more than I paid for. Very solid construction. Extremely comfortable seats. Decent performance and fuel economy. Great space for people and things. And of course that warranty.

  Great Used Car for Teens & College! - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By mktg64 - April 2 - 9:01 pm

  Bought a 2003 Santa Fe with 125K GLS 2.7L for my son his senior year of HS, he took it to college...had to replace a rear trailing arm & a coroded battery cable, other than that I did the timing belt, plugs & wires, new tires, and most fluids. GREAT car for the money, love the styling (its now a classic), modern interior, and perfect for teens and college age kids for room and safety. Decent sound system, side airbags and lots of metal, smooth ride and quiet engine...you can do a lot worse, just stay away from the 4-cylinder.

  By Long Ball - February 24 - 2:00 am

  I test drove them all and bought the Santa-Fe and so far Im still very satisfied. everyone talks about it being underpowerd, I guess they are race track drivers because it has all the power a normal person needs.

  I have been nothing but pleased with my Hyundai Santa Fe. It has predictable handling with sufficiant horsepower to back it up. Interior seating is comfortable and cargo space is generous for the vehicles size. The list of standard features is impressive and make the Santa Fe a great value.

  Bought used last year, 2013 - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By lg22150 - January 15 - 7:37 pm

  I bought this car used last year as a trade with my mini van. When they first pulled it up I was like, um nope. My husband made me test drive and I fell in love. Mine is brown and black, and this thing is awesome. It is by far the best car I have ever owned. Even the first Hyundai I had, swore never to get another. The gas mileage is great. Put $20 in a beginning of work week and no more until Friday or Saturday. Gets me where I need to go.

  NOT GOOD - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By Tracie - December 3 - 10:00 am

  I have had the vehicle for 1.5 years and had the transmission replaced once. Now I maybe looking at another new tranmission. Just got my oil changed and they informed me that I have metal scrapings in my transmission fluid. When I called the dealership, they said they are out of loaner cars and cannot get me in for 2 weeks. Very poor service! This thing has been in the shop for a good portion of my ownership. Maybe I got a lemon, but I would expect the dealership to go out of its way for me to rectify the situation. I am a young buyer and have many more vehicles to buy in the future. Sad to say but I will never buy another Hyundai!

  VALUE VALUE VALUE - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By puckguy59 - November 24 - 2:00 am

  We have only had the car 2 months but it is well worth the money. There have been zero problems with the car. You get a lot of features at a great price

  Worth Considering: Santa Fe LX - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By CTarna - November 1 - 2:00 am

  We loved the body style, so we took a look. The 2.7L motor was much better than the 4 cyl, but still underpowered. I hear the new 3.5 is MUCH better. I still used the SUV to tow my motorcycles 300 miles to the track and except for a few steep hills, it held its own. (I even slept in the rear with the middle seats folded down and Im 62" 230 lbs.!) Front leg room was just enough for me, could have been a bit roomier, but this is a mid- sizer. All controls are user friendly (once you figure out the AMB means "ambient" or outside temperature, lol). Bottom line, great value for a good mid-sized 4WD SUV.

  Try it u will like it!! - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By nsvusa - October 8 - 10:00 am

  Great car for the money. Warranty and 0% for 5 years did the trick. I can drive it for 5 years and not have any repair bills. Detroit can not match it. Fun to drive.
