Great During the Daylight Hours - 2007 Hyundai Veracruz
By conr2286 - December 9 - 6:00 pmThe Veracruz has absolutely the best 3rd row seating available in a crossover suv. And if youre filling those seats, the fuel economy per passenger-mile is great. But, our vehicle has averaged only 16 mpg in mostly city travel. And at $4.00/gallon... A hybrid might be worth the extra cost.

Electrical problems - 2007 Hyundai Veracruz
By Mark, CO - September 18 - 1:36 pmMy wife and I bought a new Veracruz 6 weeks ago. Our main reason for purchasing the Veracruz is its safety features. Our main concern is that this vehicle has now been back to the dealership twice with electrical problems. On both occasions the vehicle would not start - the dealership seems to think it is just the battery (despite the battery checking out OK). The electrical equipment is also behaving very oddly. Clearly there is a major electrical problem with this vehicle which makes us concerned about the many electrical and safety features on this vehicle. Our advice - wait before buying this vehicle. We either have a lemon or Hyundai has a major electrical issue to resolve.

Transmission Trouble - 2007 Hyundai Veracruz
By Craig Christiansen - March 19 - 12:50 pmWe purchased the 2007 Veracruz and actually loved it for a while. After 10,000 miles, the transmission starts to have some serious problems. When traveling at 45-50 mph, the transmission automatically drops into a low gear, where it becomes noisy and starts rumbling and vibrating. We took the vehicle in for service on 4 occasions. The service dept would not even admit a problem until a corporate technician verified it. Even then, they said that there was nothing they could do to fix it. The reviews comparing it to a Lexus might apply when brand new, but not with 10k miles on it. We tested 3 other Veracruz models at the dealer, but the same problem was present in each (to different degrees).

A Little Disapointed - 2007 Hyundai Veracruz
By Billy Lewis - September 27 - 5:56 pmAfter being high pressured by the dealership, we finally signed on the line. Now with 13000 miles, we are beginning to wonder if we made a mistake. at 10,000 miles we had to return to the dealership, because my wife (primary driver) got stranded. At first they said it was the transmission, next they said it was the throttle body. After a week in the shop we got it back, and every time we slowed down for a red light, the transmission would jump and slip, then the drivers seat quit working. We have never gotten better than 22 mpg on a 500 mile trip, and around 1+ in town!I am not a happy camper at all!

Its Ok, but not a Lexus - 2007 Hyundai Veracruz
By c mikaya - June 18 - 7:50 amI purchase my car in June 07, going down from a Sequoia. The Veracuse reminded me of a Lexus, but a Lexus it aint. The seats in this car have never been as comfortable as my old Sequoia and I find the velor type material difficult to clean. The all wheel drive has been very reliable on my mountainous road, but the mileage is not good and that was the reason I traded my Sequoia in. With that model I was getting 17.8 mpg and with this vehicle its the same or 18 mpg, what a disappointment. Now that I have 55,000 miles on the vehicle the right ball bearing has gone and the latch on the center console broke. I think Hyundai is working on improvement, but I am ready to try something else

Rides like a RX350 - 2007 Hyundai Veracruz
By THSAutoman - June 13 - 10:00 amPurchased for styling, comfort, price & warranty after comparing to Pilot, Highlander & Mazda RX9. Subsequently found it to compare equally in size, comfort and features with XC90 and RX350 owned by other family members. Dealer warranty experience has been good on two occasions. Handles great in town and on highway.

Short Drivers Only - 2007 Hyundai Veracruz
By Stormking - February 16 - 3:43 pmThis SUV was on my list when I bought it, but the $5200 off list convinced me. But within a week of driving, I found it was not meant for someone over six feet tall (Im 6-2). Its smaller brethren, the Santa Fe and Tucson, have significantly more leg room. I can not drive this for any length of time at all, and am looking to replace it with something more driver friendly. A good vehicle otherwise, but what the hey . . . .

FABULOUS!!! - 2007 Hyundai Veracruz
By Italnskyboy - October 22 - 1:30 amOK, So I wanted something nice, good looking, a little spicy and wouldnt be embarassed to bring to a 5 star restaurant. Kinda like my search for a new boyfriend. Anyway, the VERACRUZ is the one to beat! I got the SE with the Premium Package, and by package I mean options... I love the inside and out! I also needed to pull a boat and it does with ease, not a tire squeek at the ramp. (boat is 2800lbs.) The ride is very smooth and quiet. I do mostly highway driving and get 18mpg. Although I do about 80, to get the advertised 26mpg, you have to do like 65-70, not! I have places to be and people to see. Overall, awesome vehicle, worth the look!

Sues Car - 2007 Hyundai Veracruz
By Ted Melonas - January 1 - 12:56 pmWe owned a 03 Nissan Murano. The Veracruz has more room, better ride, and is less noisy. May not have the name, but I think the Veracruz is better

This is no Lexas!!!!! - 2007 Hyundai Veracruz
By safetyboy - December 19 - 10:40 amWe bought a black limited. I have regreted the purchase ever since. It is a big, heavy, underpowered and overpriced vehicle. Cant believe I traded my Toyota Sequia for this. It does not even have enough cup holders.
