  2nd Santa Fe - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By davem - August 30 - 10:00 am

  Bought this car in Jan 03 to replace a 2002 Santa Fe which we totalled on an icy snowy curve on Rt. 81 in NY. On the total we got back all of our cost except for $1400 which in not bad for a year of driving. We survived with NO injuries,the front axle bent which damaged the transmission. The 2003 is a joy to drive, the mileage is 25+ on a trip, city about 20. We have 7500 miles now with no problems.

  Not your big brothers Hyundai - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By Jack Hanning - July 29 - 2:00 am

  I was the last person to think I would buy a Hyundai. Our sales-person allowed us to us a Santa Fe for the day while we shopped for vehicles. We compared it side by side with Honda, Toyota, GMC, Saturn, Ford, Mazda, Mitsubishi, and Jeep. None of those came close as far as what you get for the money. None of them were anywhere near comprable when it came to comfortable ride. Some will think that they need more power in an SUV. Those are the ones that roll over on the interstate from going too fast.

  Great starter car for a new family - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By phantomusaf - June 19 - 10:00 am

  This car is great good gas milage for a small SUV and good amount of power compared to its competitors. I have 2 small children and they have plenty of room. I have had it for over 2 years and I have never had one problem nor heard of anyone that has had a problem. You cant beat it in its class for the price you get a lot more then what you pay for which is a rareity these days

  Nice solid small SUV - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By Jamie - June 15 - 3:43 pm

  I have to say that I love this car. It runs great, very quiet ride, and I can tow a boat and my jet skis with no problem. Plenty of room for the two kids and the dog in the back, even with luggage!

  Complete surprise - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By geeno - June 11 - 2:00 am

  Never wanted a SUV. Wife saw the Santa Fe and said it was a nice looking car. Went to the dealer and after driving it, was impressed with the comfort, ride, and quality, not to mention the warranty. Bought it on the spot to replace my station wagon. Both of us are extremely satisfied after 8000 miles. Dealer is great.

  Merlot GLS 3.5L - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By Gpritch - June 5 - 10:00 am

  After 1,500 miles, Im very satisified with my Santa Fe. I opted for the FWD, not the AWD - I didnt see the need for AWD in eastern PA (Snow?-Yes, but so what?). The Santy is quite peppy and responsive.

  I Like it - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By Joe in Maryland - June 5 - 10:00 am

  I really like this car. Its just the right size, but high enough so I dont feel like Im going to get run over by big trucks. Lots of great standard features. Rides beautifully.

  Love It - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By fancy - June 5 - 10:00 am

  We are happy owners of our new Santa Fe! At 1000 miles,the ride is great, the seating and roominess of the vehicle is fantastic,sun roof helps quite a bit with ventilation(Im a smoker) the combo cd & cassette is wonderful, The vehicle is smooth riding and peppy. We averaged 26 mpg (mostly highway). Its stylish and fun to drive. We did comparisons of other SUVs and based on ride,fuel efficiency, this one came in first.

  I Love My Hyundai - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By santa fe lover - May 31 - 10:00 am

  Ever since I saw the Santa Fe at the 2002 Chicago Auto Show, I wanted one. I just love the way it looks, small but sturdy. Some of the other small SUVs look like go garts, but the Santa Fe has substance. I drive about 55 miles a day and Im impressed with the gas mileage that I get. I get stopped all the time by people wanting to know how I like it. I have only had it a short time, but I hope it continues to perform the way it does now and I will have it for a very long time. Something that I cant say about the Grand Cherokee and Durango that I used to own.

  Like my Santa Fe - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By taxidriver - April 18 - 10:00 am

  My parents bought the Santa Fe in May of 2003. It is fun to drive and has a roomy interior. Easy access to controls. Like the way Hyundai thought of all the little things... right down to the emergency kit and cigarette lighter in trunk are. Very quiet and smooth ride. I cant say enough good things about the Santa Fe... It will definitely be my next car purchase. I have talked 3 friends into the Santa Fe.
