Love this car

I've been buying used cars since I could drive. This is my favorite and the best car I have bought. It's roomy for me and my kids. There is plenty of trunk space.

Most reliable car I owned

This was the best car I owned. I traded it in at 165,000 miles and killed me to do it. Never had anything go wrong. Replaced typical brakes tires rotors. Everything original engine wise.

100K miles and still as smooth a drive as day 1

Car was 2 years old when we bought it. It was kept in like-new condition. We believe in the reliability of Hyundai and this car did not disappoint. I only gave four stars for Exterior and Interior design because it's a 10 year old car - the Sonatas look really nice now, but ours is gold outside, tan leather insides - and a little bigger than the new ones. To tell the truth, the comfort and reliability of the car far out runs the appearance - which is really just about my own personal preference. The car is at 103,000 miles and still rides as smooth as when we bought it. Still looks good too. All my cars are garage kept. Just cleaned up the inside and gave a fresh coat of wax to the outside and my daughter drives it at college an hour away. It got some sort of safety award for several years in a row and because of its size, smooth ride, visibility (great visibility), and sound mechanical shape, I feel good about my daughter driving it as a new driver. We love Hyundai!

Smooth ride

Feels safe without being gigantic. Good pickup when needed to pass & get on the freeway. Lots of room inside & the trunk is huge. Great modern style.

Reliable first car for new driver

This car is pretty basic and is perfect for that new driver. It?s pretty average to most vehicles but it will get you to where you need to go.
