Good car for the Money

I leased the Sonata for more than 2 years now, it is a comfortable ride on long drives and a real jump on all aspects from previous Generation of Sonatas, Hyundai needs to work a little more on the quality.

This car was made to crash or something!!

I purchased my Hyundai Sonata 7 months ago. At first I only got it because it was something cute I could afford, then I slowly, but surely fell in love!! Two weeks ago a huge work van slammed on brakes, and unfortunately I couldn?t stop quick enough and I plowed right into the back of him, smashing my front end all the way in, all of my airbags flew out. It was so scary and happened so fast. Then there I was, just sitting there so perfectly glued to my seat with not even a red mark on me. 10/10 recommend

Most reliable and comfortable car I owned

Meets all my needs and more. Elegant and affordable, lots of space and very reliable engine. Love it, this is my second Sonata Limited. It was worth staying with the same make.

Very happy with car

Their car has a feel of luxury without breaking the bank. Gas mileage is excellent. The only issue I have is with the low, long front end. It catches on almost every curb

Awesome ride

This car is amazing. Tons of interior space for passengers, great slick design. Tons of speed when you want it and you still get great gas mileage. Keep the car in eco mode for even better fuel economy. So comfortable and with BlueLink I can start my car from my office and have it cooling which is so nice in this Phoenix heat.
