2011 Hyundai SONATA consumer reviews

We have a Turbo Limited. The mileage is amazing for us - 35 and better. The turbo is great. We've had friends who didn't believe it try it out and they are shocked how the turbo kicks in and you are gone. That turbo may cause us lots of trouble in the future citation wise. We took the car on a tour of aspens in the Colorado mountains. Not once was there a hesitation on the engine. The complaint I have is with the Navigation system. It is not up to date and gives you wacky directions to things. To upgrade the nav system it will cost you $243. Yearly. The phone has a hard time understanding directions when they are spoken. And I have to admit all the gizmos on the NAV/BLuetooth/XM have provided a few more distractions than I think are safe. But it provides endless amounts of entertainment. The smart key takes a lot of getting used to, and I'm not used to it yet. I still expect to find I've left the key fob in the laundry and that will be the end of that. The cabin is roomy and comfortable but we are tall and hit our head getting into and out of the car. The mileage and power of the vehicle are amazing.

I am so happy with my new car! Great handling, lots of get up and go, great gas mileage, could not ask for a better car!

After owning 2 years of owning a troublesome BMW 128, I wanted value! Sure I looked at Acura TL, Lexus IS350/250, Audi A4, so why a Hyundai Sonata Limited? I read many reviews and that made me curious. The exterior looks attracted me, the inside was Lexus like, although there is obviously more plastic then the others. The 2 tone dash with leather seats look awesome. Finally the ride was luxury like with a bit of sport in the handling. Put that together with the 100k power train warranty and the guarantied buy back program, that is if you buy another Hyundai. Bought one in May. Others have commented that the passenger side seat is a little low, I agree, but not hard to have risen. After 6000 miles to say I am satisfied would be an understatement. The only negative is the numerous times Hyundai contacting me about my service experience. I told them after the first call about the experience and not only got another call, but a survey. Enough GUYS!

I recently purchased a 2011 Sonata, I love its looks and it drives like a dream. I love its i pod plug in. Negatively, I do not like that the trunk pops open all by itself and the bluetooth that worked with my cell phone for a month no longer works. I have had my Sonata in twice to service these problems and neither has been fixed.

I bought my brand new 2011 Sonata Turbo about 3 months ago. So far, I just love it. I have owned over 25 cars and I think I may keep this one for a while. I have all the bells and whistles (leather, sun roof, nav, etc.) and feel like I am driving a really fancy, expensive car. I have never owned a Turbo and I must admit, I love the feeling of "punching it" when I want to get around the slowbo next to me. There is a ton of space in the trunk and the back seats fold down, too. I like the net in the trunk to keep things from rolling around. Lots of leg room for passengers and good storage for all the things we carry around as busy people. I like the steering wheel and the quick response I get when driving, passing and stopping. This car reacts when I need it to. I have been pleased with the gas mileage and the size of the gas tank (so I fill up less often). Running on fumes the other day, I got 326 miles out of my full tank. Also, my tire pressure was low and the car told me about it! :) I wish the seat heater got warmer and extended up into the back (Cadillac does this much better). I wish the seats were more cushy (Infiniti does this much better). The cup holder next to the gear shift can occassionally get in the way. The lighted mirror leaves a bit to be desired and when you buy all leather and the high end model, power seats for the passenger should be standard - that's just a cheap short cut that they took...mistake. If you have bigger people in the backseat, you can & will bottom out if the circumstances are right. I would still buy it again and look forward to the improvements that Hyundai will continue to make on this model.

I looked at 18 cars before finally purchasing my Hyundai Sonata. It was the first car that had everything I was looking for in my search. The interior is stylish and it matches the exterior. It drives great and has had no problems at all yet! People compliment me all the time on how great it looks! I get 32.1-32.9 miles to the gallon consistenly everytime I've filled up.

Recently purchased a used 2011 and love love love it. Heres why: Things I LOVE: -Exterior Styling- the new body style has the look of a lexus or volvo -Modern Interior Dash- the styling looks super cool and is backlit in blue -Instant MPG reading as you drive- super helpful in teaching you to drive efficiently on the spot -Modern style of cloth seats -USB, Ipod Audio input -Leg room in the back- great for guests and hauling large items (no hump in the middle) -Fold down back seat- great for hauling if needed -Easy driving - Im a small person and nothing feels heavy, hard to turn, open etc. -Compartments for EVERYTHING- lots of storage! Things I wish were different: -Passenger Seat- I dont have power seats and the passenger front seat does not go up and down so the passenger front seat sits pretty low, especially since i pump mine up. That is the ONLY thing i would change about this car.

its a good car for the money. i have some problem with blind spot, its hard to judge distance from the boths sides . bt i like the car

Got out the door @ $25,000 even for a limited w/o navigation.Didnt want sunroof or the proximity keyless,but i like that now.FAST,great handling.It still looks like a lexus to me.35 mpg with air on in the mountains of K.Y.on I75 unbelievable!!!!!!Beat the Taures by 10 thousand $$$$$.......Ford cant come close to the warrenty,or the price,leather....I compared to the Kia Optima,and the Sonata came out ahead ,just by a hair because they couldnt come up with factory leather without a sun/moonroof that took up alot of head room.......i wanted the optima but my wife is a tall girl and this was her car(dangit) Got the sticker down about 4,500 bucks only when i was going out the door for the last time(faked a call to my wife) and then we had an agreement on my price writtin down,and they gave........Would buy another one as they are wortth every penny.Hope i feel the same in 5 years,and it was rated @ #1 out of 19 ars in the same class by consumer report.....did alot of homework and declairred a winner!2011 look was brand new also.My last car died in a bad wreck FORD 500 was the best car i ever had for safty,and my last 7 cars/trucks were Fords.....but the unions are killing our economy by paying people for 30-40 years after thier time in Sorry ,but i had to throw that in.....GO U.S.A.....please become more competetive

The comfort,performance, styling, reliability and the bang for your buck can't be touched by the competition. My last 3 cars were a Nissan Maxima & 2 Accords and this by far exceeds both of them put together. I get great MPG's ( 32 all around ). Went on a 1200 mile trip and did 38 averaging 75 mph. So for the nitwits that dont get these kind of numbers, learn how to drive.........Go take one for a test drive and you will see what I'm talking about....you can't beat the value for the money!
