Nicest Car I've Owned

Plenty of room in the interior, was glad to see it came with a spare tire, I like the extra features like heated seats and blue tooth, drives nicely. I research the reliability of this car before I bought it and so far it's been running perfectly.

excellent drivetrain concept...1.6 L Turbo best

I admire the 1.6 L small engine with the turbo....the best of both worlds....low gas usage and plenty of power when needed. Have gotten 41 MPG on an extended trip with Interstate speeds.

My current vehicle.

Plenty of leftovers and trunk space is huge. Only issue is no tint window and weak sound system. Would recommend for a small family. I average 29 mph City, 33 mph highway.

Back glass exploded for no apparent reason.

Was happy until my back glass exploded into a million pieces for no apparent reason and service dept could not/would not tell me why. No, nothing hit it. No, didn’t even have defrost on! Was just driving down road and loud BOOM! NOT HAPPY! First EVER!!!

Can't beat the value

I am a huge Hyundai fan. When my wife bought her first Elantra, I was sold. I like something bigger, so I went with the Sonata. and have never been disappointed. We're on our sixth Hyundai and you can't beat the quality and value for the money. The manufacturer 's warranty is hands down one of the best around. I am a customer for life.

Best used car for the money.

This car has all of the options. Really like how you can rewind your XM Sirius station and play the song again. Love the keyless remote entry and how the door handles light up when you get near the car.

This car is beyond my expectation.

I did test drive of TTY Camry, HD Accord, MZD 6, that’s great but I did not feel I want to own those. I’ve never thought to buy Hyundai, this car is totally change my mind and attitude. I like the exterior, look premium and classic. An Interior is very airy, not feeling tight with all the design and roomy for the back seat. The trunk is speechless, it’s bigger than SUV!!!.

Shocked

Extremely solid, great on gas, responsive, affordable. I am BLOWN away. When I am not driving aggressively, I get over 37 mpg. Not a hybrid. Had a buddy telling me the same thing for over a year. I finally caved and test drove. Chose this sonata over an accord and a camry.

A maximum car for a minimum price!

This car met all my needs. Bought it used, only for $ 15k I have a sport car, Sonata Sport. My height is 6'-4 " and I have lot of room for my legs. Really economical (GPM) and with high technology. They come with the Android Auto, which allows you to use your own cell phone to navigate through Google Maps. Much better than a portable GPS, Googles Maps is always up to date, I always find the addresses. Very comfortable for the family, it comes with USB and (3) 12V chargers Size 17 wheels, beautiful car. I love it.
