What owners say
"Overall, drivers appreciate the 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe for its comfort, dependability, and smooth handling. Many enjoy its spacious trunk, excellent engine performance, and good safety features. However, some reviewers noted it could use a bit more power, especially in the V6 option, and mentioned the subpar gas mileage as a downside."
This is a great family vehicle without being a van. Also impressive as personal vehicle. Pickup is awesome. You sit up a little higher than a sedan, so visibility is greater. It also safer than a sedan, not only because it is AWD, but also because so many vehicles are higher today. It is very convenient for those times when you need to pick up something you just cannot fit into a sedan.
February 14, 2015It has been a dream of mine to one day own an SUV. I am so glad this one became my first. It has never let me down mechanically and it's ecstatically pleasing to look at. Other than the terrible gas mileage, I can't say anything else bad about this particular vehicle. I love it!
September 3, 2014I like everything about the car. Smooth and quick. Great engineering and style. Great warranty and value. Drives and rides like a more expensive car. Front wheel drive is excellent in snow. Don't see a need for AWD. Fun factor Scale 1-10, a 10. No negative surprises. 20 mpg all around driving. Excellent accelleration. Quick steering makes it easy to park.

December 31, 2009Great car so far Good sized city SUV Large trunk space Family is comfortable
October 12, 2022Great vehicle many options handles great and is a very dependable vehicle.
April 7, 2021I like the sante fe, because it has everything I want, 6 cyl, loads of storage, handles well in all weather, comfortable on long drives, overall a great buy.
October 12, 2023Acceleration is very good if you have the 3.3litre engine, feels peppy and fun to drive for a crossover. Build quality is good although some plastics are on the cheap side. Exterior styling is, as always with the santa fe, sort of bizarre, somewhat of an aquired taste, but still looks quite good.
January 11, 2010Great family car. Get the larger 6 cyl engine. There is too much hesitation when you punch it on the beltway. Handles great plenty of room for people and cargo. Very easy to manuver and park plus the Hyundai pricing was great
December 23, 2011acceleration,braking and handling on the highway is great. too early to say about build quality since i have put only 200 miles on the car since i bought it.
December 17, 2009It is comfortable, rides well, and has a pretty good history as far as performance. I only wish it was a little bigger in size.
