  First SUV - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By TAV - October 26 - 12:10 am

  After my 93 Corolla had finally had it, I decided to get an SUV. Actually wanted a VW Toureg, but fell in love with the Santa Fe since I could actually afford it. Had one issue a few months after purchase, was able to work around it and get it fixed (something with a valve in the fuel system). Being in northern MN, I do wish I would have gotten one that was 4WD or AWD. Drives well, and being almost 6 ft, I feel comfortable in it and in the back. Seats fold down nicely. Have used the roof racks for skis and for a luggage, went nicely. Power sun roof, very nice. I was very excited that it had a cassette player(my iPod connects easily) AC is very cold. Cruise work easily. Lots of storage inside

  Goodbye college beater car...hello style - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By arose - October 24 - 10:00 am

  Bought the SantaFe 6mo ago and have been very pleased with the handling and comfort. Definitely splurge for the LX edition and the sunroof if you can (haggle for the lifetime leather sealant and protection!) I paid $22K for mine (with 100K mile waranty, leather protection and 75,000mi maintance), and it was worth it!

  go for it - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By happy - October 24 - 10:00 am

  I was very pleased with the power of the LX 3.5L engine. It has great pick up and handles very well in wet conditions. The only con that I have found thus far is the length of time needed to adjust the drivers seat in order to be comfortable.

  Our Santa Fe - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By RickD - October 24 - 10:00 am

  It was time to buy the wife a new vehicle and she suggested the Santa Fe. I wasnt to happy about buying a Hyundai, but to keep her happy we went to the Hyundai dealer to take a look. I test drove the LX 3.5 AWD and was very impressed. I also drove the 2.7 FWD, but decided the 3.5 AWD was the way to go. This vehicle gives you more bang for your buck than any of the other vehicles we looked at. Just to let you know how much I liked this vehicle, 3 weeks after we took delivery on my wifes Santa Fe, I went out and purchased one for myself. Identical vehicles, but hers has a moonroof and mine doesnt, and of course we have different colors.

  Almost as good as Honda/Toyota - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By Jean - October 21 - 5:00 pm

  Bought over the Net for great price. Extended warranty used when rear wheel bearing cracked but otherwise has been flawless. Service from 2 different dealers excellent, good customer service locally & from Hyundai USA. Very impressed with build quality altho its underpowered for the weight. Excellent handling & braking, great cargo capacity thats easy to use.

  Wish my wife would let me drive it! - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By PBoiler - August 6 - 10:00 am

  SO far so good. I wish I got a chance to drive it more. My wife loves the SUV feel of sitting high and yet it is easier to get into than many other SUVs. It drives tight like a sports car and gives you a great feel for control. From what I could tell in my research, it was definitely the best buy for the money. 0% financing and many options added to help seal the deal. My best automotive purchase experience to date.
