Great Car

We purchased 2 of the 2009 Hyundai Sonatas. One for my family and one for my In-Laws. Both cars have performed exceptionally well. My Daughter now drives one of them as her college commuter vehicle and just loves the car. Granny loves hers too! So we have been extremely blessed at how dependable the cars have been. We look at another soon.4

Hyundai Sonata 2009

The best car Hyundai ever made. I love my car! I had my car for 10 years and I just now needed a little work done. I can't complain . I'm the first and only owner of my 2009 Hyundai Sonata. I'm proud I made the right choice!

Best Car I Ever Had

I purchased my 2009 Sonata in November 2008. It has a 6-cylinder, 249 horsepower engine, and 15-inch tires. It has lots of power, and is very easy to drive. The seats are really comfortable, and it has lots of leg room. No noises, and just normal maintenance has been needed. I see no reason to trade it in; however, if I had to, I would probably buy another Sonata.

Ratings are based on reoccurring issues with breaks - wear and maintenance.

This has been a solid vehicle except when it comes to break issues. Both front and rear breaks. I feel there are design flaws in the break design that allows for more that normal wear. I have a 2007, 2008 and 2009 Sonata and have similar issues with all three vehicles. The calipers have stuck on numerous occasions that have caused the break pads to wear out. Sometimes to the point that it is metal on metal before you know there is a problem. Other than that I have just had to do routine maintenance.

My car

I have to say it has a comfortable ride, you feel like your up a little like the higher priced cars very comfortable seats. This car has great response to speed and braking. It’s over 1000 miles but still handles like its new, I go for regular visits to Mytee service station they keep my car road ready. Updating as we go! It has great curb appeal. I like that the radio is on the steering wheel, easy access.Performs well in snow and rain.

2009 Hyundai Sonata

I have been very good to my car through the years and after ten years of having no trouble I find that it just might be “tired”! The overhead eyeglass holder just kind of shattered and fell out. I intend to keep my gem but now I’m a little leery of what might happen next. I know it’s ten years old but I want to last and last.

Great Car

Great car. I have 140k miles on the car and have not had anything major go wrong with the car. I have the 3.3 v6 and still manage to get 27 mpg on a regular basis. At times only on the freeway and cruise control i did get 34! It shows wear but still runs strong!

My Sonata

My Hyundai Sonata has been a great car. I would buy another one when the time arises. The trunk is big compared to other vehicles. Comfortable for passengers. Good on gas. I love the style & it's fun to drive.

Best car I’ve ever had!

This is the first Hyundai I have ever owned. I bought it new, had it for ten years already and have surpassed 100,000 miles! I never expected to have such a reliable running vehicle. It could outlive me! I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Limited Maintenance

I have put more miles on my 2009 model than any car I have owned. I bought it in 2010 and it has only had the starter replaced. Engine works well after all these years. My mechanic Steve at North Point Auto says he is impressed with the lack of leaks, maintenance etc after all this time. My only issue besides normal wear is the window motors going bad.

Still going strong

Purchased new in 2009. Over 90k miles. No major issues throughout the years except pcm failed recently. Took it in for service no issues. Back on the road. As long as you take care of the car it will take care of you. Does not have the bells and whistles of newer models - Can’t trade it in, it’s too good of a car.

2009 Hyundai Sonata Ltd.

Bought my 2009 Sonata new in the summer and at first, was hesitant to purchase a Korean made vehicle. But, after reading about the Sonata in Consumer Reports, decided to give it a try. I was looking at a 2009 Honda Accord, EX-L which I did like, but when I compared it to the Sonata, everything I wanted was already on the Sonata, but not on the Accord. So, price was about the same for both, but the great warranty and the standard equipment on the Limited sold me. I have had this vehicles for 10 years now and have not had on problem with it...only routine maintenance and some minor things that were no big deal. I would not hesitate to purchase another Hyundai in the future.

'09 Sonata

Ours is a V-6 SE Limited, most of which is just the trim level but the 3.3 V-6 id reliable, not bad on gas and plenty of power for this car. Got it with 85,000 Mi. on it and went straight to synthetic oil. Interior is nice also. We would not have ordered thi$ trim level but this is how it is with used cars. The only real issue I have with it is not the car but the alloy wheels as they eventually begin to corrode inside the bead and the valve causing slow air leaks way more often than we like to see. I'd prefer steel wheels and hub caps. TPM valves are costly if they break while removing to clean the corrosion out.

Wonderful car

I can’t say enough about the Sonata; I’ve had two of them and absolutely love everything about them. From the styling, both interior and exterior, to the mechanics of the car, I highly recommend them!

Great vehicle

Overall, my Sonata has been the best car I've owned and I would highly recommend it. I've rented the newer model to go on vacation, drove it 4000 miles and I was impressed with it, also. You can't beat the warranty and great service when under warranty.

Still in love

Almost 170k and a little over 10 years later still doing ok with some maintenance here and there. Hope to keep it as long as possible. Don’t understand why the residual value is not higher like the Toyota’s or Honda’s have.

Long lasting value

I purchased this vehicle new in 2009 ..it now has over 130,000 miles on it and I like it now as much if not more than I liked it then. It has given me no trouble just the usual maintenance issues.. I plan on keeping it as long as I can .

Great dependable vehicle

In the 222,000 miles regular maintenance and parts that usually wear out, shocks, struts, wheel bearings and valve cover gaskets which most of these lasted till over 150,000 miles, we have only had to have the throttle body position sensor replaced. That sensor went out while the car was still under the bumper to bumper warranty. That being said we did hit a pot whole and broke the traction control which cost us $1400 to fix and the Hyundai dealer was the only one that could read the codes to fix it. But most of that was in the 3 sensors that blu out $1100.

Why pay Mercedes prices when you can have a 2009 Sonata?

If only my odometer read 151 miles rather than 151,000 miles. I'd drive this car forever. Mercedes quality at reasonable prices with much lower maintenance costs. The 2009 Sonata handles well in all kinds of weather; very low road noise; I've driven hundreds of miles without feeling 'all shook up.' I've taken good care of my Sonata and it's taken good care of me, from literally one end of the country to the other. Many thanks for a quality product.

I'm purchasing this Used ..still owe the Bank $4800...perhaps I could be persuaded to buy a New one or better Used one from your Showroom..consider placing some New Car Brochures in the customer area.
