  A Great Deal - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By J.Davie - August 28 - 2:00 am

  This is a great vehicle, and I dare to say the best buy currently on the market. It handles in a very agile manner, and has adequate power.

  Love it - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By Algernon - August 28 - 2:00 am

  Very happy w/ my Santa Fe. Bought it to drive in the mountains of Colorado. Little under powered climbing the hills, but the gas mileage makes up for it. Back seat is huge...fits three grown adults easily. We camp a lot & love it with all the room inside. Bought the roof rack for the top, but would now rahter have a Yakima or thule because they hold greater amounts of weight. Current rack only holds up to 75 lbs.

  love this car BUT - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By Shannon - August 8 - 10:30 pm

  I bought my car used in 05. I love the look of the car and its fun to drive and very comfy and roomy BUT I have had nothing but trouble with it. had to replace rear end, new battery that I was told had to be Hyundai specific and cost$132, trouble with pedal sensors and now damper pulley and timing belt. It is horrible in the winter to start and when it does it doesnt want to drive! it does tend to jerk sometimes when shifting. Its a shame i really do love this car but probably wont buy another one.

  2003 Santa Fe LX 2.7 - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By sbraatz - June 10 - 11:31 pm

  My wife and I bought it with 60,000 miles. We had a couple of minor issues right of the bat that the dealer didnt want to handle. I did replace the plugs and wires twice within the first two years because of the same problem. It was a little time consuming but not impossible. Definately cheaper then taking it into the dealer. Other then that it has been very reliable. Gas mileage could be a little better. I think we average around 17-18mpg. We orignally bought it because we were told it could handle a boat. Later found it the towing capacity wasnt great. But would definately buy another one.

  Luv my Sante Fe - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By meeeepster - May 29 - 10:00 am

  Great car for the money. Fun to drive in all conditions. We looked at all the other models in the same class and none came close to having the options the LX Sante Fe had for the price. Try it!!! You will be glad you did.

  Decent!!! - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By KristinB - April 17 - 10:00 am

  I bought my car on April 23rd, 2003, after months of wanting it. I only qualified for a lease, as I was upside down in a crappy Sentra. I absolutely love love love my Sante Fe. I wish I could have gotten a moon roof, though.

  Sante Fe is an excellent choice. Test drove the Rav 4 and Vue and considered the CRV, but was most impressed by the Santa Fe. Nearly everything is standard, and has excellent warrenty
