  Very Much Approve - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By Charlies Hyundai - June 29 - 2:00 am

  The only issue is I wish it had a little more horse power like the CR-V.

  Had to replace sensor - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By Wheeler123 - June 18 - 10:00 am

  My Santa Fe came from the factory with a bad sensor in the gas tank which caused the check engine light to come on less than two days after I had it. Needless to say... that was a bit discouraging. However, I think it was just "one of those things" and I was the "lucky" person to get that particular vehicle. Other than that, I LOVE my Santa Fe! The 3.5 has GREAT pickup, although the gas pedal is VERY touchy. (Im not exagerating about this!) The ride is really quiet and extremely solid! The radio reception seems to be a bit below par, but not terrible. I notice people turning their heads all of the time, straining to see what kind of vehicle it is.

  From an Explorer - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By Mike in NC - June 12 - 2:00 am

  Overall so far a good experience. The Santa Fe is very quiet, and the features (for the money) cant be beat. Excellent pickup from a stop, passing power when at 60 takes a while to get there. Mileage could be better. No regrets from buying it. Traded in a 1999 Ford Explorer (purchased new originally), the Santa Fe rides much better than the Explorer ever did.

  like it more with every drive - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By peacepad - June 12 - 2:00 am

  I researched and test drove many suvs that compare with Santa Fe. More bang for your buck and a solid vehicle to drive. Handles great, rides great, low noise level,and comfortable too.It fits like a glove. The transmition is aimed at smooth,quiet shifting, sometimes giving the impression that acceleration is a little less than peppy.It is there when you need it, especially when your already up to speed. There is really nothing I do not like about the Santa Fe. Only wish I would have got one with sunroof and built in DVD player.

  Great SUV - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By tmcgee - April 10 - 2:00 am

  I have been shopping for about 3 months as my lease was comming due on my old car. My initial experience with this SUV is excellent, great detailing inside and out. I really think this SUV is built better than my wifes Mercedes ML 320 and they are about the same size.

  A lot of car for the money! - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By Pete Bromelski - February 26 - 2:00 am

  After checking out the Hyundai line of cars at the dealership, I saw the Santa fe. It looked well built and asked for a test drive. It was so car like in its ride and comfortable that I bought one within a week. I now have a silver 2003 LX with the optional sunroof (everything else is standard it seems). I have read others comment about this car and I agree with all the positive comments. I sit high and the view is terrific. There is no other SUV in this class that in my opinion rides so nicely! Almost everything is well thought out and the quality is very high. It may not be perfect for all, but what SUV is?

  Enjoying my Santa Fe - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By Jasmine - January 3 - 10:00 am

  I have been amazed with my Hyundai Santa Fe. It gets great gas mileage. It pulls my 17 1/2 foot boat with little noticeable effort. It is is very roomy and comfortable. It seats 4 very comfortably and 5 if necessary. It has plenty of cargo space. I even put my dog in the cargo area when traveling and he weighs 90 pounds. I have had virtually no problems with it to date. I plan to keep it for a long while and when I trade, it will most likely be for another Santa Fe.

  great small suv - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By ronzx - December 11 - 2:00 am

  I never liked suv,s, but when we drive the lx model fully loaded,we loved it.It drove like a car ,but you are up just high enough to know its not.The price and warranty cannot be beat for what you get.The v-6 2.7L is enough for us.The paint on clading under door started to chip off in one little spot,other then that no problems.Touch up paint solved it.
