2013 Hyundai SONATA consumer reviews

We've been Hyundai owners since 1988 (first -Excel). We've purchased seven new Hyundai; one (1) compact, four (4) sedans and two (2) SUV. We fell in love with the very first Hyundai (Excel) we purchased 25 years ago! Our latest, a 2013 Sonata Limited, is very beautiful and the exterior is very stylish (ruby red). The interior is elegant and the cabin very roomy. We get good gas mileage averaging 28-35 mpg.The vehicle's overall performance and looks are excellent!

I went on line on a Friday night and by the following Monday I was driving off the lot with a great deal!

I am a cautious buyer and appreciate value for the money. I actually like to check out different car makes and try different models plus read articles from the experts as to what is out there that I may have missed. After test driving some 30 plus cars and SUV/crossovers, I was so pleasantly surprised by the 2013 Hyundai Sonata Limited PZEV for its comfort, interior features, the amazing sunroof, safety, warranty, beautiful paint, etc. There are so many things to learn about this car! I was eager to drive this car when we have a snowstorm and drove it over slushy, snow-covered, and mostly snow-packed surfaces and its traction control and stability control worked great. The outside mirror heaters worked very nicely and the car warmed up quickly. My Sonata has the technology package and I really like itsw navigation and outstanding stereo systems. The seats are comfy and nice warm. I do understand what a few others have commented about instrument clutter but, after a few trips, I am happy they are all there and available to me. The only two minor negative features on this car so far has been the mediocre gas mileage and their Blue Link communications. First, the gas mileage: I am not sure if part of it was warming up the car or the winter gas blends that are notorious for giving us consumers poorer gas mileage. My first tank was 23 MPG and I figure that I was driving on the highway about 75% of the time. I was expecting around 30 MPG but, like I said before, it may have been me idling the car a lot while learning the car, winter warmups, etc. Second, the Blue Link feature is not that impressive and seems pricey for what appears to be kind of an On-Star type of service. I was not impressed. I highly recommend getting the technology package for the extra $2,000 as you get the big sunroof, upgraded stereo system, and the navigation package.

Traded in a 2011 Sonata Limited on a 2013 Sonata Limited Turbo. The Turbo is a better looking car, due to the larger wheels and tires, plus the dual exhaust.. The ride is not as soft as the non-turbo limited, but is more fun to drive. The shifter has a better feel when moving between positions. The steering is also improved, seems to be a little more firm and controlled, plus the car is quieter. The added power from the turbo is not dramatic when accelerating, but comes on quick and smooth with no additional engine noise. Tried the BlueLink after registering online, support came in very clear and downloaded a trip route. The last Sonata we had was great and this one so far is even better.

Very nice ride for the $. Went into the dealer with what the price should be from cars.com and my deal was done in minutes. Kudos to the dealer (Tonkin Hyundai) for making this a no hassle deal. I am selling my 2009 Sonata that has 111k on it. I had zero issues with the old car and that is why we bought a new Sonata. 35 mpg on my first trip in the new car so am very please with that.

drove 25 mins to see this car after talking to a salesman to be told that the above price is a cash price. smh!

For a full size car the Hyundai Sonata Limited is the most luxuriest for the money! The exterior is classy and sporty at the same time and gets great looks as you pass people by. The interior has everything you need that a luxury Lexus, Mercedes, etc. have for a much lower price. I needed a navagation system, heated seats everywhere, 1 sun roof ( and got 2!), leather seats, back up camera, XM, Bluetooth, hands free phone system, garage remote, and comfort for my job. I drive clients around for my job and go to all sorts of new and different places each week. To top it all off Sonata Limited even gets great gas mileage!! You can't go wrong with this car.

Bought a brand new 2013 Sonata. The second day I owned it the transmission went out and they had to replace the entire transmission. Only getting 18 mpg in town and 22 hwy. The engine idles rough and is very noisy. Sounds like valve train noise. I had it back to the dealer several times and they cannot find anything wrong. Very disappointed. I will never buy another Hyundai.

Great car overall. The 2013 model replaces a 2011 model that was destroyed in a T-bone collision with a driver who ran a stop sign without even slowing down. The side air bags saved my grandchildren's lives. After comparing it to others in its class, I went with a 2013 Hyundai because of its safety features, comfort, reliability, and dealer support.

I always like the looks of this car. I rented this car on a couple of occasions and was surprised on the quality and looks of the car. I finally broke down and traded my gas guzzeling SUV for this car. I got a great deal and love all the features of my Sonata Limited. The moon roof is awesome and all the features you get work well such as the blue tooth, back up camera, navigation system. Its a nice solid vehicle and looks really nice. I get a lot of compliments. Never thought I would buy a Hyundai but so far I am a believer.
