It provides me with what I need

I wasn?t looking for a car, I was more geared towards an SUV. When the dealer pulled up in it, my first thought was ?Wow, Hyundai has come a long way in style?. This car was classy, but not too classy to put my two kids in and regret spending that much for them to turn the rear seats into a chicken nugget/ crayon/ juice battle zone. With that being said, there is also plenty of leg room in the back, no kids kicking the back of my seat. (And I like to get my lean on) The A/C blows like an F-5 tornado which is nice in this southern humidity induced heat index of swamp butt and surface of the sun. The ride is comfortable, not very quiet, but I like to be able to hear outside ambience in case of emergency anyways. I haven?t had a lot of time to mess with all of the components yet, I haven?t t even put 1,000 miles on the car yet. So far I?m pleased overall with looks, fuel economy, and comfort. Also the warranty that comes from the manufacturer is the best out there right now, that right there should make you feel comfortable with a 5 year commitment, since most of the time of the loan should be covered on your bumper to bumper.

Sonata SEL with technology package

I love the reliability, warranty, styling, and technology offered at the value. This is far better than the Crosstrek I owned, which was the opposite.

My 3rd Sonata!! ??

Just bought new Sonata with Ultimate Pkg. what luxury in a Sonata. Smooth ride. That panoramic roof is so stylish. Looks and drives like a $50,000 car! Controls are handy. And whoa-heated steering wheel, air conditioned/heated seats-what more could a retired lady want?

Great sedan

I did my research and found that the base model Sonata was better equipped than its competitors. Rear camera, blind spot alert, ApplePlay for navigation. Got it for a great lease price.

Second Sonata owned

The car is warranty, style, and performance. The engine is quiet. And the interior is designed very nice. It is second one owned. U will get every penny worth out of this car. The a/c is so good too . and never had any problems with first one. Just got a 2018 about three weeks ago. Very nice car.

First Hyundai, haven't had it long enough to know

Haven't had it long but nice so far. Comfortable and good on the highway. Handles well. Plenty of leg and shoulder room in the front, never sat in the back

Enjoy driving vehicle

The car is comfortable and roomy. The trunk has a lot of space.The A/C works great in 90 degree weather. The radio is not to my liking. It does not have a CD player.

First time car owner - no problems!

I love this car so far! The Limited had everything I needed - air conditioned seats and heated seats, blind spot monitor, auto dimming rear view mirror, good gas mileage, plenty of space, FANTASTIC safety ratings... all for a very reasonable price.

Be sure to add the tech package

The Sonata is a big comfortable car and a great value. When you add the tech package for only $1, 000 it's also one of the safest cars you can buy.
