"Have had my Sonata 2.0T for nearly two years. It hasn't given me a single problem. Good fuel economy, room, and sportiness. Looks like Mercedes has noticed this car...seems to be a lot of their inspiration behind the new CLA. Changed out stock tires for some Michelins, and installed Lloyd's mats, both of these seem to get rid of the remaining road noise Hyundai didn't design out. Still get asked about the car all the time. Glad to have the long warranty--even happier about having never had to use it! Go buy a turbo Sonata today, you won't regret it."

"This was my first brand new car. I bought the GLS model. I absolutely loved it! The seats were a little hard though and the 4 cylinder was weak but what it lacked in performance it made up for in MPG. i drive a lot so this car was great for me. LOTS of room in front and rear seats, trunk as well as many storage components in cab. I traded it in for a jeep however because unfortunately i live in CT and it snows a lot. This car was TERRIBLE in the snow. It seemed as though it had too much power and not enough weight. If i lived anywhere else in the country this would be the perfect car. It had a smooth ride, sharp look and some nice features for not being the LIMITED one. Would recommend this car to anyone."

"I bought this car about a week ago, and have not stopped smiling! every time i step in the car i feel so comfortable sitting in it. the body style gets endless complements from friends and family. I love the interior! i bought the GLS model with the tan interior and it looks so clean and stylish. Seats are extremely comfortable and feel like your are being hugged. I am a pilot and this car reminds me of being in a cockpit. everything is comfortably laid out. Great power and acceleration, drive feels so smooth and quite. It is the quietest car I have driven, coming from a 1999 saturn SL this is the biggest step up of my life and couldnt be more happier. There visibility is a little poor in the back but still easy enough to check blind spots when driving. I can not comment directly on the reliablity but it bought a certified used sonata so i still get the majority of the warranty which is outstanding! the interior has some cheapish plastic but everything flows and looks good together so i cant complain about it. You would be very happy with the car!"

"We were reluctant to give Hyundai a chance, but several friends said we should give it a try. We did and were sold instantly. My husband is all about performance and price and while I believe those are important, I also want all the bells and whistles. The Hyundai Sonata surpassed the expectations of us both. We love this car!"

"Bought this car new in Nov. 2011 as a retirement present to myself and paid cash for first time in life. I bought Sonata based on reviews of its fuel economy, safety, and styling. I now have 35,000 miles and have never been happier with a car. Only problem with car was a loose interior panel which was fixed immediately by dealer. Gas mileage is beyond expectations. On interstates driving 85 in Montana I got 34 miles per gallon. In Oregon driving 60 I got 39 miles per gallon. The electronic stability control has saved my butt a couple times driving in icy conditions in Wisconsin. If someone is looking for an excellent used car I would certainly recommend the 2011 Sonata."

"I recently purchased a 2011 Hyundai Sonata SE from Front Line Motors in Lititz Pa. This was by far the best purchase ever made. Not only was the dealer the best I ever dealt with, but the car that I purchased was the best deal and most reliable vehicle I've ever purchased. I am so happy and will definitely be doing business with them again. Thank you Front Line Motors!!"

"This car has been great. I really got my moneys worth and more out of this car. It has a very spacious interior. Lots of extras you normally don't find on a base model. The ride is smooth. It isn't a very powerful car as far as performance goes, but it does have passing power and accelerates nicely when pushed."
