  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.

  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.

  The feel of the Santa Fe is very comfortable and smooth, sleek SUV and great on power. Havent been a owner for a long time, but the experience is great so far.

  Bang for buck - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By paul peterson - June 4 - 10:50 am

  I have had my sante fe for over three years. In that time, I have had virtually no problems. I think that the quality is good, the ride is smooth and the price is right.

  great buy - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By the great one - March 28 - 5:50 pm

  This is the best, most fun to drive, well styled, clean running car I have ever owned. Other than scheduled maintenance, only other repair was a new fuel sensor.

  Santa Fe - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By TFWoj - February 20 - 12:30 pm

  This is my favorite vehicle that I have owned and I am 62. I have had no mechanical problem of any kind. The leather interior is nice and the radio sound is excellent. Only concern would be the transmission is a little jerky.

  Great car! - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By Lnix - December 21 - 10:00 am

  I have had my car for over 7 years now. At 128k miles I can honestly say its been a great car. This was my first new car to own and havent had many problems. I had to get new tires at about 70k miles. I changed the battery once and only had to get regular maintenance work done to the brakes because of the wear and tear. Havent had to put much money into it. I just wish I had gotten AWD because it doesnt handle all that great in bad snow.
