Santa Fe has been a great car
I have been very pleased with my Santa Fe. I have done regular maintenance and found my car excellent on its reliability.
The only issue I have not been able to resolve is that for some reason the clear coat has come off of my door handles. I had three handles repainted at the dealership at the end of my warranty, covered by the warranty, yet they and the fourth plus the hatch handle have continued to have the same issues ongoing.

Oh Man!
This vehicle is considered part of the family on a human level. This small SUV was brought in 2009 and it's 2019 and she still running like she was just built today(5/25/2019). Overall, I'm impressed with the handling and longevity of the parts. Very spaciest for shopping and transporting small furniture. Oh my God, this is by far my all time favorite vehicle. -- Frank W

Great vehicle .
I like the 09 Santa Fe so much I bought a 2018 a year ago and plan on buying a 2019 this year. I don't even look at other brands of SUVS. I stand behind my Santa FE because Hyundai does. I buy the Santa Fe because I believe in the brand since I bought my first one in 2000.

I love it and enjoy driving it. When ready I will buy another one. You are asking a lot, you said a short review. Next time I will not give a review or fill it out. Give me a call if you want more. I have to watch the Twins now.

Great reliable car
We are very happy with the vehicle. We receive letters to sell or trade it in at a premium price but we are happy with the vehicle and expect it to last several more years. Easy to drive and provides a blest view of the toad due to the large windows.

Very satisfied original owner
Over 70,000 plus miles and no serious trouble. Since I purchased this vehicle I have bought 2 different model years of Sonata's. All 3 vehicles have run great with no problems. I have been a very satisfied customer.

Fantastic Vehicle!
I purchased my Hyundai Santa Fe almost nine years ago. It was pre-owned and had 14,000 miles. I have enjoyed everything about this vehicle. It has required very little maintenance , other than the regular oil changes and small repairs. I feel like my Santa Fe is safe and dependable. When the time comes to purchase another vehicle, I will purchase another Santa Fe. I think that will be a while though because this one continues to perform so well. I drive a lot and in all types of weather conditions, this vehicle has never let me down!

Wonderful SUV
I have had my Sante Fe now for almost 10 years and I can't say enough good stuff about it. It stills runs smooth and trouble free. Has not needed any extra work at all. Yes, I stay on top of what needs to be done but that should be a must for all owners of automobiles. I really really like my Hyundai and when it comes time to replace it, I will be looking at another Hyundai for sure.

Love It
I may consider getting my third one but only in a different color, good on gas and miles, money well spent. Current vehicle only have 75,000 miles and only 10 years old. I’ve had offers from strangers to buy it. I’ve driven twice to FL, GA and once to AL, plus my everyday driving.

I have enjoyed this vehicle for almost 10 years, as it was purchased in Nov. 2009
It has been a very reliable car with minimal problems. I have it serviced according to schedule and have been very satisfied. I did have an issue with the fuel gauge reading inaccurate, I was not sure why. I was told the gas cap may have allowed air in the system, it was repaired.

Hyundai 2009 Santa Fe
This is my second Santa Fe I had a 2007, then a 2009 which I still have in 2019. It has 130,000 miles on it and it is going strong.
It is my fishing car, I load up my gear in early spring and fish all summer.

Santa Fe
We bought this as my daughter's first car after getting her license. Its perfect for her. Easy to drive and she treats her car like its part of the family. It's got a lot of room and the seats fold down if she has stuff to store and move. Perfect for her.

Nice car but...
Comfortable vehicle that is good in bad weather. Cabin electronic are fair as interior lighting unit had to be replaced and CD player stopped working. Fuel sensors had to be replaced twice. Front axles also needed to be replaced. Poor gas mileage.

It has Been a charm
I absolutely love my 09 Santa Fe. So much so that it has 123,000 mi. on it and I don't want to trade it in. I have never had a recall on it. So far it has started every day for 9 years. I bring it in for the needed oil changes, but have never had to spend a lot of money on repairs. I hope the next Hyundai I buy will be just as fantastic.
