1995 Hyundai SONATA consumer reviews

I bought my Sonata 2 years ago with 85,000 miles and have never had a problem. It is a reliiable, dependable car. Great deal.

i purchased a 95 sonata just over one year ago, with fewer than 65000 miles, and have kept up on all maintenance of it. so far i've had to replace the engine, the entire brake system, and now the transmission is dead. add to this the fact that halfway through production the engine and transmissions used were changed, so if you have to replace one you have to guess at which part you need, and if you're wrong you have to buy another one. though the newer hyundai cars are excellent and very reliable, this particular model is not worth even half of it's blue book value. if i do replace the transmission i will have spent more than double the value of the car on repairs in just over one year. NOT WORTH IT!

This car had all the features I could have expected: power windows, power locks, nice tape player, foldable back seat. Yet, being 6 cylinder, it had really low mileage per gallon (like 20). The parts for this car tend to be expensive, hence expensive repairs. After 100k, this car really started to break down, also possibly due to me trying to keep maintenance inexpensive. Seems like this car gets "check engine" a lot, which translates to trouble during emission tests. Mechanics told me not to bother about it as it is most likely egr valve which is expensive to fix.
