Bought my 09 Santa Fe new. The ride is comfortable and smooth. Handling is secure. Fit and finish is very Nice. Only thing I don't like is that acceleration is sluggish.

Did the Cash For Clunkers program; $27945 sticker, $3500 CFC, $2000 Hyundai rebate, $1100 additional dealer discount = $21345 total paid plus fees. First day driving it, my friend sees it and says "Dude, you got a Lexus?" True story. I love the way it drives. Good visibility from the drivers seat. AC works great. Smooth acceleration and shifting. More than ample cargo space. Have never had a vehicle with this many great features including AM/FM/XM/CD radio w/steering wheel mounted controls, powered drivers seat, powered moonroof, and Bluetooth equipped.

This is my third Hyundai and must tell you that they continue to exceed my expectations. I purchased a used 2003 Santa Fe on the recommendation of my good friend who works for BMW. I was looking for a commuter car to take me from my North New Jersey home to my NYC office each day. 150,000 miles later and very little maintenance I decided to purchase another Santa Fe. I love the evolution of this vehicle. It looks great, handles great and is fun to drive. At the end of the day, you can't beat the warranty and I must say their service has been excellent. Maintenance a very reasonable as well!

Wife loves it. smooth quiet ride. GLS model with only bluetooth option. Pearl White color is very cool. Great car for family and for taking trips. With the cash for clunkers and factory rebate and dealer savings, can't go wrong with purchasing this vehicle.

We all remember the early Hyundais of the late '80s... total junk. I am admittedly impressed with the design, ride, noise level, performance and quality so far of my new 2009 Santa Fe AWD Limited. I would definitely recommend pitting at least 2 dealerships against each other's quotes to price match (or beat) as I did. Doing this, I got the limited model for slightly less than the SE retail price after rebates and the "Cash for Clunkers" deal.
