Quick, comfortable plenty of luggage space not great on gas but better than other SUV’s. Highly recommend the Santa Fe

I love my 2009 Santa Fe. It’s the best car I have ever purchased. I have not had any real problems with it. Had to replace the windshield three times that I do the highway driving and stones kicking up but I heard Hyundai‘s are known for this For this happening to their windshields. The car is now 14 years old has 170,000 miles on it. I know I have to get another car put in my car has the basics in it for its age now where when it was new, it had all the bells and whistles , she’s been a good card me and if I find one in the color I want I’ll purchase another Santa Fe again.

It works for us.

Our 2009 Santa Fe Limited has always been a third vehicle. It has always been parked outside. It currently has less than 75,000 miles on it. It has always returned mediocre gas mileage, less than the original advertised mpg. It has had a few weird part failures, e.g., stereo subwoofer? (in the rear of the vehicle), gas tank sensors, and have replaced the headlight assemblies myself. Overall, it is a great sized vehicle for us. It is comfortable, everything works (until it doesn't, which is less often than expected). Based on our ownership of this 2009 Santa Fe and a 2013 Elantra GT driven by an offspring, I would highly recommend looking at Hyundai when considering a new vehicle. We may be purchasing a new vehicle later this year for another offspring and are seriously examining this brand.

Santa Fe

I love my Santa Fe I’ve owned it for 12 years now. I have 111,000 miles on it and intend to keep it going for several thousands more. Best car I’ve ever owned. Only problem is the abs and esc lights like to come on now and then or stay on for awhile then disappear again. Has not interfered with the driving ability of the car at all.

Pleased with service department!

I drive a 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe, which I bought new from Bob Mayberry. I've been very happy with it. I have had very few issues with it. The service department is very thorough when I take it in. I find them to be helpful and honest. I will go back to Bob Mayberry when I buy my next car!

Still better than I expected

I’m still impressed with my 2009 Santa Fe. The ride, reliability and performance is still hard to match in 2021 models, until one gets to the Lexus levels. The things that annoyed me at the beginning, like mid-year deletion of tow loop attach points are still there, and will affect consideration of a future Hyundai. But, it’s been a better ride than I anticipated 12 years back.

Awesome car

I absolutely love my 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe! The best car I have ever had! Very dependable and sturdy, I really feel like I have a l solid car around me. It’s good in the snow and ice, it never got squirrely when driving on black ice.

Great Dependable Vehicle

I purchased my 2009 Sante Fe new for a work car. I thought a couple of years and I would replace it. Well, 85K miles later my wife has used it as a grocery getter, my daughter has used it for trips to Idaho and Seattle area, and I still use it for hauling loads. What a delightfully comfortable, dependable, and fully functional vehicle. I am happy with my choice to purchase and I believe we will keep this SUV in the family for many years to come.

They were honest about my vehicle needs

Not every mechanic will call and be honest with you about the needs of your vehicle, but Morris Plains Automotive does exactly that. Steve was very upfront with me about everything I needed to repair my car. I appreciate that a lot.

Best car ever owned

128k miles and runs and looks new. In 11 years I have spent less than $500.00 on repairs. Best vehicle I have ever owned. I have owned about 15 vehicles in almost 55 years of driving, mostly GM products and not one of those were as trouble free as my silver Santa Fe

My Santa Fe

This Santa Fe has been such a reliable vehicle since I bought it. It had 50, 000 miles on it and was a one owner car that had been brought in to the dealership in Hot Springs, Arkansas for every recommended service. I have continued to take it to the dealership here in Cool Springs because I feel they are familiar with all things Hyundai and will keep my car in great running condition. As a single retired person, I need to be confident when I get on the road. A trip back home to Arkansas every few months is a piece of cake because I know my car is running like it should! Thanks, Hyundai of Cool Springs!

Great car

Great car for what I use it for. Great 6 cyl. SUV for around town and quiet highway driving. Will recommend to friends and family. Make sure to buy 6 cyl Hyundai Santa Fe with auto door lock and back up video.

2009 Hyundai Santa Fe

Bought this car brand new off the showroom floor.Have been extremely pleased with everything about it. Have always had it serviced regularly. Normal maintenance but no real problems. Even though I would like to have some of the new perks (backup screen,gps,auto back hatch closer) I still LOVE my car and wouldn't trade it for the world!

2009 SantaFe

I have owned my Hundai since I saw it on the show floor in January of 2010. I have looked at newer vehicles, but can't seem to part with my Hyundai. This vehicle has been wonderful to me. I t has never failed me on any of my road trips.

My second best purchase

I purchased my first one in 2005 upgraded to a 2009, looking at the palisade meaning pricewise if it fits into my budget I definitely will buy it. I’ve never had any problems, just bringing it in for routine maintenance of course with the normal wear and tear you purchase tires, windshield wipers, batteries, bulbs out you have them replaced so normal stuff. I appreciate the coupons that I get to help keep the price down. I have had strangers asking if they could buy it the, body is in good shape, low miles only 80,000 to be a 2009.

Love my Hyundai Santa Fa. Bought new and repairs done was regular wear. The facility is very clean staff very accommodating

Very pleased with the dealership the service and the staff. The cleanliness of the facility. Not worried about being over charged for service not needed. If you leave vehicle you have a ride home and a ride to pick up vehicle.

Santa Fe Hyundai 2009

This vehicle has been very reliable, and fun to drive, low maintenance, and still looking good, The interior design materials could have been more durable. When regular serviced, it performs much better, almost like driving a new car. I get lots of compliments on the overall styling car and especially the color. Many thinks it is newer than it is.

Love it and the service coverage and warranty

It has been the best car I have owned over the last 50 years. Acceleration and comfort made the purchase well worth while over the last eleven years of my ownership since 2009. Safe and shiny paint that has lasted over those 11 years

Easy driving

I was gifted my dad’s Hyundai Santa Fe. My first trip was to Maine from New York. The drive was pleasure. Plenty of room for the 5 of us. Air circulation was good for the passengers, mileage was good. No complaints!
