Sonota a Rust Magnet Nightmare
Before the car hit 100,000kms I had to replace the AC Compressor, the 2.4 motor (broken connecting rod), Transmission pan, the rack and pinion steering, main window control switch and rusted fuel lines, brake lines and frame rail

Bought Used-Very Reliable for 6 Years and Counting
Bought a 2008 Sonata used for my teenage daughter. Paid $5000. It had about 100K miles on it when we got it in about 2016. She is still driving it 6 years later, it has about 150K miles on it, and it has never had a mechanical problem. We've done tires, brakes, oil changes, a radiator flush and not much else to it. Still 100% working order. If it dropped dead tomorrow we would have gotten our money out of it, but who knows - might go another 5 years/50K with no issues. Great car. Great quality. Great reliability.

Very Reliable. Last long time
I've had this car for 25 years and the only reason I gave it away because my brother needed a vehicle and I could afford a newer vehicle for myself. All in all, great, safe, reliable, great on gas and will last a lifetime!

Unsafe
Sold me a car . Seat belt was broken ,”safety hazard”. Everyone here has a attitude , I am financially responsible with my money and they called me immature because I argued with one of the employees because I traded in a vehicle they gave me 600 trade in value and only knocked down 400 of my total payment then posted my 97 Honda Civic for a 1300 profit

Mechanical issues
I bought this car because it was a good deal new. It has only 80K miles on it because it is seldom used. Early on the power windows had to be repeatedly repaired. The shocks and suspension gave way costing thousand of $. Now my mechanic said the rack and pinion is a problem. My Camry has 150K miles on it and had no problem of that sort. Buying this car appears to me to be penny wise and pounds foolish.

Car is great on gas and runs perfect for me.
This car runs like a champ. Gets me back and forth to work, and where I need to go. Also great on gas I highly recommend buying a car here.

Quiet and comfortable drive. My Favorite Car I've
This car has exceeded my expectations for how I thought I a Sonata would be. I like the simplicity of the controls, they light-colored and airy interior doesn't make me feel claustrophobic like dark colored interiors too. The stock sound system sounds great, it has good bass and clarity. I like a soft suspension, I want to have a spine when I'm 90 years old I don't get this trend with big tires and sports suspensions. I like this car because it has a nice cushy bouncy suspension. Rides very smoothly on the highway and is easy to park. It is unsettled easily by road aberrations but regains its composure very quickly. The fuel tank is 17.7 gallons which is fantastic, it wonderful not needing to stop for gas so frequently, especially on a long drive. The fuel economy is ok. Not terrible and not fantastic, just average. This 2008 2.4l gls is my favorite car I have owned. It's interior quality seams insignificantly different from that of Toyotas. my last car was a Toyota Yaris and it had an interior like a horrible shoddy dog kennel. In many ways the sonata reminds me of and intelligent and contemporary, light version of a Buick, with which I'm very pleased and I hope it lasts me for quite a long time as I change all the fluids before they're recommended intervals and I drive like a grandma.also, this car has nice big windows so it's easy to maneuver. New cars have this tiny windows and giant back seat so you can't see it darn thing out of them, not so safe sounding to me.
