  New Hyundai Satisfied Customer - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By ted dixon - May 2 - 10:00 am

  Used your web site, shopped 5 different models of SUV,drove, talked and settled on the Hyundai. Absolutely one of the best cars(???) Ive ever owned. There is nothing I would change about this vehicle, except, maybe I should have bought earlier.

  Great fuel mileage for a 104 mile a day commute. Handy to zip in and out of small parking spots & great to go shopping in.

  Poor Design for Maintainability - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By Jim - March 21 - 9:33 pm

  At 75,000 miles had the spark plugs and timing belt replaced at a cost of $900! The intake manifold has to be removed to get at the spark plugs and the timing belt is very difficult to get to. There could be two reasons for this: 1) Thoroughly incompetent engine design engineers, or 2) Hyundai management dictated poor design for maintainability as a way of enriching their dealerships. The unfortunate owner has to spend a lot of money for what should be simple and inexpensive replacements. Spark plugs at least should be a do it yourself project. And then there are those engine and cruise control glitches; my Santa Fe seems top have more glitches than the space shuttle.

  A very good experience - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By mjt3rd - February 10 - 2:00 am

  Its a fun car to drive. A bit underpowered, but not so much as to make it undesireable. There is some body roll in hard cornering, but it is still acceptable. The ride is car like and the seating is quite comfortable. Standard features go on and on. Monsoon stereo is awesome.

  Luv my Sante Fe - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By msmomof2 - February 5 - 10:00 am

  Very spunky V6. My husband loves the speed shift feature. Theres some wind noise from the sunroof but its tolerable. Plenty of cargo room. Lots of extras (leather, 6 disc player, auto A/C, sunroof) for the money. Great gas mileage (app 22 mpg in city - and I have a heavy foot)!!

  3.5L engine makes it happen - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By T Pres - February 5 - 10:00 am

  The 3.5L engine gives this vehicle the only thing that was missing when comparing to other SUVs. With a price out the door with taxes at $25,000, its a steal. No other SUV can match that price with all the extra features that are included in the price.
