  Hyundai will wow you! - 2008 Hyundai Veracruz
  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!

  By newhyundai - August 15 - 12:23 am

  My husband and I just purchased this vehicle a week ago. I drive it mostly and I love it! The ride is smooth and quiet. It is our first Hyundai and I wouldnt go back and buy a different vehicle if I could!

  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.

  VERACRUZ LIMITED AWD - 2008 Hyundai Veracruz
  By alphamale1 - May 3 - 1:00 am

  Nice vehicle. The wife has a bad back and the lumbar support is helpful. Too bad the MPG city is not better.

  Great vehicle - 2008 Hyundai Veracruz
  By foz682 - April 28 - 3:51 am

  Ive only had it for a few weeks now, but so far so good. Im getting around 19MPG with mixed driving. It has lots of little features that make life easier, such as the proximity key, power tailgate, cool box in console, placement of interior lights is grea,t very comfortable and powerful. The one this that does bother me just a little is that the rear dvd player renders your rearview mirror useless, it totally blocks the rear window when in use.

  Tremendous Value - 2008 Hyundai Veracruz
  By srr3306 - February 20 - 4:36 pm

  I traded an Infiniti FX for this car. As a result, I use that as a basis to compare. Cruz has all the luxury features, is quieter, built a little better (so far), has a better ride, and the audio with the the DVD package is the best I have ever heard from a factory. Fuel economy is about the same (disappointing since it is FWD with a six speed, weighs about the same and is a bit slower.) At least it likes regular. Handling is the only negative, but the FX is a unfair comparison. Compared to Highlanders and Pilots, it is fine.

  All things considered, its not great - 2008 Hyundai Veracruz
  By Justice Peterson - January 30 - 6:50 am

  My wife and I like the comfy seats and they are easy to adjust. Theres plenty of room all around. The layout is good and the build quality and materials on par with the Ford Edge and Saturn Outlook. Good A/C. The ride is fairly smooth and its quiet inside. We were surprised to see the gas go so fast especially in the city when it returned only 13-14 miles per gallon average. Not very good. We are not impressed with the reliability or warranty coverage either. The dealers are all unethical. They charged us for things we never needed when we brought it in for warranty items; the trans would not shift out of park and was flat bedded, dealer charged us $850 for brake pads! Poor resale!

  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.
