  Love My Veracruz - 2008 Hyundai Veracruz
  By Kathy - May 7 - 3:33 pm

  I love this car. It drives smooth, is amazing on ice and snow and is just as nice to look at as the Acura everyone else seems to own here in Alaska. I was surprised at how quick it accelerates and it purrs at 70 to 75 mph. The Bluetooth is a feature that I will never live without. For the $ I paid ($24K) I feel like I got the best car for the money. I smile every time I drive it. Dealership support also has been fantastic.

  Winter Update -- WOW Continues - 2008 Hyundai Veracruz
  By Augie - April 6 - 12:00 am

  So, I reported in Nov-08 that I loved my Veracruz...well, that was before driving it in one of the worst snow storms weve had here in Seattle. This car is amazing in the snow! Mine is only a regular front wheel drive but the electronic stability control and traction control, along with the all weather 18" tires and shiftronic option allowed me to get around in 12" of snow while others were stuck. I was extremely pleased with the way this car managed very icy slick roads. I continue to love it!

  Buy one - 2008 Hyundai Veracruz
  By Mausguy - March 2 - 6:50 pm

  I love my Cruz. Quality from front to back. They added little items like reading light, rear armrest with storage and more, make this car a joy. I smile as I get in to drive it. With the rebate of $4K you cannot go wrong. Watch out Toyota and Honda, theres a gunslinger in town

  50K Miles and still love my car - 2008 Hyundai Veracruz
  By astralsqual - February 5 - 8:45 pm

  Shortly prior to buying this car, I was doing a significant amount of traveling for work and so was renting a lot of cars. I had always been a honda fan, but was really dissapointed with the Accord. It just wasnt comfortable to drive. Then I had a Mazda, VW, Suzuki, and more, but I was most impressed with the Elantra. It had a great set up and was easy to drive. I went down to the dealership to look at Elantras and then I saw the Veracruz. I took a test drive and was blown away - So comfortable, nice set up of the control panel, just a really great vehicle to drive. I cant say enough great things about this car. Third row seat is just wonderful to have for carpooling with kids.

  Love it!! - 2008 Hyundai Veracruz
  By Dave in AZ - November 8 - 12:43 am

  Ive had the Veracruz for five weeks. I got it for $10k under sticker and boy, is it great. Build is great, road noise is minimal and it performs really well. My only complaint is the sound system could be a little better. I recommend the Veracruz highly.

  Love this vehicle! - 2008 Hyundai Veracruz
  By Laurie L - October 31 - 7:26 pm

  This is my first Hyundai and I am impressed. I had two Navigators before this and it is so nice to downsize. I have about 2750 miles on the car so far and I am getting 18.7 mpg. I am on the highway and in the city equally. The ride is very smooth and quiet. I love the navigation system. I was going to buy the Lexus 400h, but I saw a review on this car and took it for a test drive. I was sold and very happy to save over $10,000! I would recommend this vehicle. I am very satisfied.

  What a Surprise! - 2008 Hyundai Veracruz
  By ssvc - July 30 - 3:40 am

  I bought a 2008 Veracruz Limited FWD in August after thoroughly researching mid- size SUVs. When I test drove the Veracruz, it totally impressed me. It is smooth, quite, luxurous, well designed, high quality, etc. The engine and transmission are wonderful. The gas mileage is great for a mid-size SUV - I get 23 mpg with highway driving. I have driven 5000 miles so far and have not had a single problem. I never owned a Hyundai before but I HIGHLY recommend this vehicle to anyone looking for a great mid-size SUV.

  Couldnt Be More Pleased - 2008 Hyundai Veracruz
  By billray - June 25 - 2:10 am

  Test drove Acura, Honda, Mazda and Toyota CUVs and settled on Veracruz because of overall value and build quality. Car is very quiet and an absolute joy to drive. I really like the proximity key and power liftgate. Limited, AWD, Silver with Black Interior.

  A loyal Toyota owner switches to Hyundai - 2008 Hyundai Veracruz
  By rjm727 - March 24 - 7:50 pm

  My wife and I shopped for her new SUV for six weeks. We thought we had settled on a new Highlander until a friend told us about their experience with Hyundai. We stopped at the hyundai dealer at 6pm and left at 8:30 in her new Veracruz! What a great vehicle! It looks great has every option under the sun and drives smoothly and quietly. The first thing I noticed was the fit and finish (both inside and out). The next thing that caught my eye was the incredible amount of standard options. The salesman then told me about the unbeatable warranty and we both felt like we had found our new car (and we hadnt even driven it yet!). Bottom line - great experience, great vehicle, great price!
