Great used car

The car looks and runs well. Bought this for my daughter to use to commute back and forth to work and to run errands with the kids.

So quiet and easy to drive

Great used car for teens

What a great car in beautiful shape for a 2008. I was pleasantly surprised. Was looking for a safe and dependable car for teen drivers. The only thing missing was All Wheel Drive for our winter road conditions.

Love my Santa Fe

This is my 2nd Santa Fe. I put over 100,000 miles on both of them. I would get another one but I’m short and they changed the style of it so now I can’t see over the hood. Great cars!!

Nice SUV for the money

I have driven this vehicle for 6 years and loved it. My only complaints are horrible gas mileage, not enough power on highway - mine is a 6 cyl automatic front wheel drive, and my previous 4 cyl standard sante fe had much more pick up than this one. Its been reliable, and nice to drive otherwise.

Best SUV in its class

You’ll never get a better value than a Hyundai Santa Fe suv. Easy to drive, comfortable, and extremely reliable. If you want a lot of extras at an affordable price I would buy a Santa Fe!

Hyundai Santa Fe - excellent winter SUV with AWD

Low mileage, excellent condition. It runs and drives beautifully. It drives straight down the road, no shaking, noises, etc. This car is in beautiful shape and looks great! This car is priced reasonably. It is priced well below dealer pricing.
