2011 Sonata SE-2.0T
Over all this car is 5 stars. You cant beat the price compared to what you get in the car standard. The turbo model has great pickup and zip. great gas mileage too. Averaging 37 mpg/hwy, 30mpg/city. The only reason I gave it 4 stars performance is when the ECo button is on, it has a tendency to govern gas pedal. But the turbo is fast and you dont notice it really because ECO is sipping your gas for great mileage. Comfort is very nice but 5 stars is for a Lazyboy type feel for a driver seat which this car is a 4. Lumbar works great but still not bolstered enought to make long trips easy on the back. OVERALL this car looks and drives amazing. It looks the best in black; but you have to love washing a car for black.

I would buy it again
I did not plan to, but I bought the Turbo & I love it!!! Talk about "giddy up"! I drive in town/city so I don't get the maximim MPG. A) I really wish the seats were more cushy and comfy like an Infinity (but that comes with bigger $ I guess. B) I wish the seat warmers got warmer than they do & also went up the back C) It would be nice if the side mirrors folded in. D) One of the cup holders is too close to the gear shift & gets in the way. There is a HUGE trunk and I like that the seats in back fold all the way down for extra storage. Also, there is a lot of leg room in the back for guests. Good deal for the $.

First Car
This is my first car and I'm liking it so far, it's only been a couple months. Gas mileage is great! I was confused initially about how the ECO mode works. It doesn't do something to the engine like I though at first, instead a little light that says "ECO" lights up when you're driving optimally. Overall, I'd give it a solid B+

Unbeatable brand!
I used to be a hardcore Honda man... Until I tried Hyundai. I love my new Sonata! This is my 2nd Hyundai now. You get ALOT of bang for your buck!! It has an extremely roomy interior,huge trunk, IPOD USB port, nice stereo,nice exterior design,great acceleration, alloy rims, and the gas mileage is insane for a big car, I get like 40 MPG at times!! & they give me a 100K Powertrain warrantee. & all of this, cost me only $21K!! if you want the most bang for your buck without sacrificing reliability, Hyundai is the brand!!!

Best car ever
This car is a dream to drive. I no longer dread my commute. I call it my Sonata serenity. It is also a sporty and beautiful car. Since purchasing my car, three of my co-workers have purchased one. I can't say enough about it and I have owned Volvos, Toyotas and Hondas in the past.

Great Car
This car is sharp looking, gets great fuel economy, and is fun to drive with the 200 hp 4 cylinder. It handles like a sports car. I would recommend this car to my friends.

@011 Hyundai
I think it hard to beat this car for exceptional value. We traded a 2004 Honda Accord in on the car, and were going to buy a 2011 Honda. After test driving them both my wife and I decided the Hyundai was the better car. I was afraid I would miss the power of the V6 in the Honda, but the 4 cylinder in the Hyundai is not bad. It also get great gas mileage and is a very comfortable road car. The only real complaint I have is the blue tooth doesn't always sync with our phones and the voice recognition is a little fussy.

So In Love!
Just purchased a 2011 Hyundai Sonata Limited. So many features to love on this vehicle! Keep finding new things to enhance the driving experience every time I drive. This vehicle's mileage keeps getting better (more miles per gallon) as we break the engine in. It's really agile when you need to switch from auto drive to manual shift, but the gears are a little short. It takes time to adjust. We've owned a Hyundai previously (and still have it), and this product and the services from Hyundai simply keep on improving. We like that corporate leaders listened to American input on the development of features. Consumer Reports was accurate in its appraisal of this car. So much car for your dollar.

Excellent Vehicle
I bought the black Sonata with black interior. I was looking for a stylish car with great gas mileage, and I couldn't be happier with my selection. I have been getting 30 mpg since I bought it, and it rides perfectly. I can play music through my iPod in the AUX input OR my phone via Bluetooth. Speaking of Bluetooth, you no longer have to hold your phone to your ear to talk with this car. It has BUILT-IN BLUETOOTH. If you can't stand holding the phone, like me, then this feature is absolutely wonderful. I have driven a Lexus IS250, and I would choose the Hyundai Sonata over the Lexus IS250 any day in a heartbeat. You can't find a more roomy vehicle, back seat included, than this one. The savings on gas alone made this car worth the purchase! If I had to pick a negative, I would say that I wish the wheels were a little higher quality. However, they are very inexpensive to replace (just the wheels, not the tires). Now that the 2012 Sonata features a system that allows you to text using your Bluetooth, I'm seriously considering trading up!
