10 year /100,000-mile Warranty! You can?t go wrong

Looks nice, has lots of head and leg room. I was impressed with the 10 year /100,000-mile Warranty and the 5-star safety rating. I really like the ?Blind Spot Detection?. It makes it a lot easier when entering on the interstate highways. The price was right.

Best bang for my buck so far...

We have a Sonata Limited and it came with all the bells and whistles. So long as you are not looking for a super fast car (178 HP 4-cylinder) this is the best bang for your buck IMO. It drives smooth, literally has everything: leather heated/cooling seats (with two memory settings), heated steering wheel, blindspot detection, lane diversion detection, LED headlights that turn when you turn, automatic high-beam control, collision detection with auto-braking, cruise control pacing, bluetooth, automatic starter.... it even detects if you might be tired and suggests taking a (coffee) break! It has three driving modes and I am getting around 28 mpg. All this for under 30k along with the best standard warranty around. I could not be more happy so far.

When I test drove it l loved how it drove.

After driving the sonata the salesman showed me I went home and thought I would buy it but with darker interior and then I drove that car and it was so comfortable and drove so well I bought it. Never bought a new car before.I love it.

The 2018 Sonata is a dream to drive!

We were interested in the safety features and those features make the car awesome to drive. My husband wishes that we could afford to buy a second one. If the safety features keep us from even one accident, the car would pay for itself.

Best Decision

The 2018 Hyundai Sonata is awesome! Great on gas mileage! Blindside notification a plus but most importantly it has so much room in the back. I'm glad I didn't go back to the Elantra.

Comfort, valued with lots of amenity

2.0T Sonata has plenty of power, spacious rear leg room with spacious trunk for your cargo. Smooth engine and transmission with plenty power. Android auto and Apple Car Play that enable your smart phone to connect to vehicle display for all your favorite apps. Hyundai will give you 3 years of Blue Link and 3 months of XM radio for free along with their warranty. Love this car so far with no complaints.

Sonatas are extremly reliable

I have been a fan of the Sonata family since 2011. This is my 4th Sonata. I upgrade to save money. Love the new body style and keyless entry
