  Great SUV - 2008 Hyundai Veracruz
  By Dan - July 4 - 1:00 am

  Having never bought a foreign brand, i was very hesitant. We drove the Veracruz Limited, along with several other brands. I must admit that the car impressed us from the start. We drive several thousand miles per year, have made trips of up to 800 miles in one day. The car continues to impress us. This is absolutely the most vehicle for the money. Drove domestics for 30 years. Last vehicle was an Expedition Eddie Bauer. While smaller, this vehicles quality is every bit as good as the Ford.

  By Joseph Dibenedetto - May 23 - 1:46 pm

  I just recently bought the Veracruz and last week just to break it in my wife and I drove to Tampa from N.Y to start off the fuel economy was better than expected it cost about 75.00 each way that was driving at or about 70-80 mph the comfort was great although would have liked just a little more leg room Im 6-3 but by far more room than the lexus.I bought the base gls fwd model a left over 2008 It has excellent road handling perfect interior and 7 passenger seating and has alot of bells and whistles for the base model lots of storage space as well as oooohh and the price about 20,000 less than the lexus which I looked at first but to be honest this drives better

  By Veracruz fan - April 12 - 7:06 am

  The Veracruz is a luxury powerhouse of a vehicle. I am still in awe of this spectacular ride. With the windows closed you hear very little outside noise. The body stlye is sleek and beautiful. I can not think of anything I dont like or love about this car. Way to go Hyundai this is the best yet.

  From Honda to Hyundai - 2008 Hyundai Veracruz
  By Bornitetx - March 13 - 1:56 am

  When the family grew it was time to get into the SUV market...never thought I would have purchased a Hyundai...but glad I did!! I was always a loyal Honda diver..but the Pilot did not compare to the Veracruz (price/warranty/amenities. So far smooth diving and no complaints other than gas mileage could be better but since this is my 1st suv, I expected this to change. I enjoy all the luxury items at a great price that was better than the CX-9, Highlander, and Pilot. I would highly recommend this vehicle. I like having a nice quiet comfortable ride on long trips and this car pampers you, and yes as it has been compared to the Lexus 350 it is much less expensive and still has that luxury feel!!

  So Far So Pleased - 2008 Hyundai Veracruz
  By So Far So Pleased - March 1 - 7:00 am

  This rating system was very helpful to me when I was deciding what vehicle to purchase. I would like to return the favor. This is my first Hyundai purchase. I replaced my wifes 02 Camry. The Camry was very good to us. I wanted to avoid a bad purchase decision. I test drove the Highlander, CX-7, CR-V, Rav-4, Accord, Camry, Santa Fe, Murano, Venza. We Cant afford a Lexus or one of the higher end SUVs. The Veracruz for us was the best all a round vehicle. With the economy the way it is I was able to get 8K off the sticker. Very few vehicles offered a dark interior. Im keeping my fingers crossed, but I wouldnt hesitate suggesting a Veracruz to anyone. Nice solid affordable SUV.

  Cruzing In Style - 2008 Hyundai Veracruz
  By Scott - February 22 - 5:26 am

  Without a doubt the best CUV for the money on the market. Transmission is amazing, dont even fell the shifts. Power from engine is more than adequate. Very comfortable on long rides. Gas milage is also very good - getting better than epa estimates (20.2 in 50/50 driving over 7k miles). Ride is very quiet. Zero problems to date.

  Good Bang for Your Buck! - 2008 Hyundai Veracruz
  By Nicole - January 11 - 9:53 pm

  We love our new Veracruz!! Weve done a lot of research on crossover vehicles, and test drove several cars before deciding on the VC. Its super comfortable and has so many extras that the competitors charge much more for. This is a great vehicle for the money!

  Never thought that I would own a Hyundai - 2008 Hyundai Veracruz
  By Mike Bud - January 3 - 7:43 am

  Drove the Pilot, Highlander, RAV, Arcadia, Outlook, and Santa Fe. I am a Toyotal fan, but the Highlander was a bit wide like a minivan and the RAV was a bit small. Test drove the Santa Fe a second time - nice but small for my needs. Finally, test drove the Veracruz. It was excellent - smooth transmission, quiet ride, instant feeling of luxury. This SUV is big, but comfortable. My kids love the third row. Drives smoother than my Sienna (which is excellent). I was very pleasantly surprised at the quality of this vehicle.

  Squeaks & Rattles - 2008 Hyundai Veracruz
  By RayB - December 23 - 10:40 pm

  I bought the VeraCruz (instead of a Lexus) because of all the great revues that I had read and because of all of the nice features for the price. However, Ive had a terrible time with squeaks and rattles. (Headliner and the overhead vents, door pillars, doors, back seats, etc) The dealer told me that the noises are normal because of all the plastic parts and there was nothing that they could do. In other words, they didnt want to spend a lot of time on it. I dont know if this is just poor engineering or poor build quality, but this is unacceptable in a $35K vehicle. Make sure that the radio has a lot of volume, youll need it.

  Gas Mileage, fantastic on highway!!! - 2008 Hyundai Veracruz
  By bernibookh - October 17 - 10:20 pm

  I cant believe it has been almost a year since I wrote the first review on the Veracruz and I must admit I am still "VERY MUCH SATISFIED!!" My son and I traveled to Boston MA. two weeks ago, and we were so impressed at the gas mileage the Veracruz gave! My son and I decided to split the miles in half(389 each). I started out first from NC. I decided to stop and get gas after traveling 479 miles (son went to sleep) I still had a quarter of a tank left! I have to admit, I was so impressed! This was a comfortable and inexpensive trip!
