  Great Value - 2008 Hyundai Veracruz
  By Bill - March 19 - 3:40 pm

  My wife and I have been driving this SUV for a month. It is a great value for the amount of items included. We bought the Limited FWD version for $26,000.00. You cant buy a HONDA CRV for this amount with a 4 cylinder. Only one problem so far, the seat memory switch had to be changed. Dealer is great to work with. The Infinity stereo is OK not great, but overall still very pleased with the quality of the vehicle. Third row seating is great. Gas mileage so far is about 18 MPG (city driving) not to bad considering. Love the safety features. Honda, Lexus/Toyota can learn something from Hyundai. The are overpriced and over rated.

  EXCELLENT CROSSOVER - 2008 Hyundai Veracruz
  By SH - December 5 - 10:33 pm

  We love this car. We debated a lot on which crossover to purchase, and finally decided that the VC was the best deal. We couldnt get any other car with all the features we wanted for this price. The dealership even added the Parrot bluetooth system, which is really convenient. Fuel economy is probably its greatest weakness, averaging about 20mpg, but still is comparable to its competitors. Other cool features, the rear view mirrors tilt down when youre in reverse so you can see how close you are to the curb (can turn this feature off as well). Seats are pretty comfy, even the third row where weve had a few adult passengers have a comfortable ride. We love the power liftgate.

Appearance wise we are very pleased with the Beige exterior and saddle leather interior. We were impressed with the way Hyundai backs there product.

  By r kelley - August 31 - 5:43 am

  This is our 3rd Hyundai and let me say this is one heck of a suv. To all who dont look at Veracruz before you buy, shame on you for the money and all you get this is the best buy on the market as Paul Harvey would say good day!

  Bought used still smiling 70,000 miles later - 2008 Hyundai Veracruz
  By carperson13290 - May 17 - 7:40 am

  Purchased the Veracruz (1/2011) with 23,000 to replace 03 Murano with 140,000 miles. I needed a heavy safe car capable of carting a lot of people but used primarily to commute approx 800 miles/week often in harsh wintery conditions. The car now has over 100,000. Its much hardier than the Murano (not as fun). It has been relatively problem free. The superior warranty is a huge help-(although less than new). Ive had dealer problems-billed for covered repairs and most recently, when problems were due to known recall issue-stood my ground. Ive replaced the windshield wiper mechanism-bought used. It is very sturdy safe car with great flexible space-Id buy it again except they D/Cd it. Why?

  More than a year and still love it! - 2008 Hyundai Veracruz
  By santa rosa - May 6 - 4:00 pm

  After over 1yr I have 14K on my 08 Veracruz Limited. The vehicle has been nearly flawless! Nothing has gone wrong - not even minor problems. The interior still looks new even with kids. The interior layout is completely intuitive and the best I have had on any vehicle. A minor complaint is acceleration from a stop. But, to my surprise, using premium fuel does improve this problem a bit. The interior space is exceptional. We cart 2 kids with child seats and gear and the VC has ample room. Ride comfort for long trips is great. My wifes vehicle is an 08 Lexus RX350 and I can say the 2 are fairly comparable. We usually take the VC for trips because it has more storage space and a 3rd row.

  my new hyundai - 2008 Hyundai Veracruz
  By JOHN - January 21 - 7:20 pm

  We purchased our new Veracruz limited in July and traded in our 02 expedition eb. I really didnt think I would be happy with a smaller vehicle after driving an expedition for almost 7 years, but guess what, I am. This vehicle has more technolgy than I know what to do with. When I pass a Lexus, I dont see any difference. Maybe a lot less, but they look alike. Considering all the cuvs out there to choose from, I think this Hyundai is one of the best. Its a lot of car for the money.

  watch out expensive brands - 2008 Hyundai Veracruz
  By soldonvc - January 5 - 4:23 am

  Finally Hyundai has a SUV that matches the top class in the marketplace at a price at least 25% lower for the same quality and options. Nice features, Well written operating manuals, warranty (a good package actually). Carries 7 adult passengers comfortably on any seat. Try that on "comparables" such as Pacifica, Commander, etc. Can easily carry 8 if 3rd row passengers are of normal size. Nice compartments for glasses, etc. Good quality materials used on interior decor. 6 gears forward help on economy. a happy customer albeit had it for only 3 weeks so far.
