I have owned this car since it was brand new. It is now 12 years old and have not had ANY problems with it at all. Only time it has been in for repair was/is for routine maintenance and a couple of recalls that were issued and handled promptly. This car has not leaked ANYTHING for over 12 years, runs like new and has a very quiet and comfortable ride. The V6 has great power when needed, but still gets very good gas mileage. I would buy this vehicle again if I had to do it all over! I am extremely pleased with the reliability, low cost of operation, and the comfort and roominess of the interior.

BEWARE!!! Hyundai Manufacturer "Bumper to Bumper" Warranty Not Always Honored by Dealerships!!

I bought an 09 Sonata V6 Limited in Dec of 08 and an Azera in Mar of 09. Both cars have needed repairs which I was assured by Hyundai Motors were covered by their bumper to bumper warranties, but which a local dealer, Doral Hyundai, refused to warranty, claiming owner fault rather than factory defect. They are [non-permissible content removed] extraordinaire! It is impossible to get them to fix anything under warranty; they always try to charge the vehicle owner. Hyundai has no way to make a dealer honor the factory warranty, claiming dealers are franchises and they can't make them do anything! Each dealer decides what they will or will not warranty. I had to "shop" for a dealer that would honor the warranty.

Best car I have ever owned. Have 242,000 miles and still runs like new. Burns no oil and still on the original spark plugs. Mostly what I have had to fix on it is just normal things after this many miles like struts, shocks and brake hardware. Great Infinity sound system. The only complaint is that the interior plastics breaks to easy.
It's definitely a "sleeper"

I bought my 09 sonata used with 70k miles and have had no issues up to 96k miles during my ownership. It's reliability gives me the greatest sense of relief. For what it is, with its smaller v6, it really likes to show off if you let it. With good summer tires, and traction control off and in sport mode while manually shifting, on takeoff tires are almost garunteed to spin a little, very vocal. You can also get tires to spin in motion if you drop into first under 20 and hit it. No it's not a performance car. But I have beat Mustangs, G35s, TL (Older than 2013) Audi A4 & A6, MazdaSpeed3, and many other comparable V6s. Over 4000 rpm you can feel the valves open completely and a small surge in power. The addition of VVT was added in 09 I believe with direct injection. Gas mileage is great for all of this. And runs on regular.

My Sonata Limited V6 has more than 30K and I love it - I have had literally zero problems with it. I commute 30 miles each way through rainy and sometimes icy Pacific Northwest mountain passes and it is a champ. Great acceleration when I need it, excellent mpg (30 mpg highway), handles very well and it can comfortably seat four large adults. My wife and I took it on a 1,000-mile trip down Highway 1 in Washington and Oregon and it was a fun drive.
