Very Disappointed

My car is a 2016 it only has 89,000 miles on it. I just took my car to the garage was told my engine needs to be replaced. NOT ACCEPTABLE. Been researching Hyundai Sonatas since I got home many issues with alit of many different years with this car. STAY AWAY FROM A HYUNDAI

The engine is using oil, a quart per 1000 miles.

Engine tested by Hyundai, meticulous oil change records... no satisfaction. We still owe 9 grand on this car. Had a 2010 that went 200k with no problems. Hyundai Sonatas are a crap shoot.

Burns oil

I have a 2016 sonata and it burns oil, after 3000 miles it burns a qt of oil. I'm not happy with my car, it only has 62000 miles.

Great certified car

Certified 2016 Sonata in great condition, inside and out. Well maintained by previous owner. Many safety features, which was what I was looking for. Blue link system. Very roomy.

Never had it in the shop other than maintenance

This is the beat bang for the buck entry level full size sedan you can purchase right now. Excellent styling and features for the price.

All around amazing car

I have had this car for 5 years now and have had no major mechanical issues and have loved it so much! I got this car the end of my senior year of high school and have used it throughout college and it has been so reliable. It's not crazy fancy or flashy but it is extremely practical and was able to move myself twice in this sedan, with multiple trips.
