Easiest car to own

Easiest car to drive and own. We liked our car so much that I recommended to my sister and brother in law and they bought one. They love it, too. Same color, same car. We're twins!

Great family sedan

As a family sedan, I think Sonata has most of good features; roomy , comfort, quiet, excellent ride quality, enough acceleration. Definitely exceeds my expectations.

Beautiful car

Just bought my Hyundai Sonata limited 2017 about 1 month ago in August 2017 and I love it. Bought is at Garvey Hyundai in Queensbury NY from Bill. Comfortable, spacious (used to own a 2012 Honda Civic) and has all the bells and whistles on it. Gas mileage on highway is about 33 to 34 which is better than I expected. Styling is great.

Rented vehicle for a week...would buy one!

This vehicle was very roomy. Had a huge trunk. Great gas mileage (41 mpg on highway) but i wish the gas tank was bigger. Cruise control and radio control on the steering wheel for easy use. I have back issues but my back didnt hurt after my 14 hr drive (in 1 day!).

Best Value for Money

This car is a great value for money. Feature rich and great on Mileage. Comes with Apple Carplay, thus even though I went with base model, which doesnt have GPS, I dont need one.

Very good mpg, some quirks .

We drove the car to a trip to DC from Philly. On the Highway this get 44.5 mpg on cruise control and eco mode at a speed of around 60 to 70 mph. In town it gets between 26 to 27. So happy with that. The car provides good acceleration and even fast I would say it is equal to what a V6 can accelerate literally and surprising since we did not purchase the car for that. The transmission is not great bumper to bumper and hesitate on what speed to choose but on a regular commute or road trip it is good and smooth ( and certainly better than a CVT). Curious thing : the steering wheel does have two holes ( We went to the dealership and they told us that this is due to the mold of it) it is one of the quirks of the car. Handling is good enough but more on the numb side, I wish it does handle like a Mazda or a German car but it is average I would say.Finally another quirk to me is that the seat are not powered and does not provide lumbar support.
