Good sedan

The car meets my needs. I like sedans but I would like to to have a CD player in the car. This was not an option.

2nd Sonata

It has a sporty look with a tight turning radius, great control and great acceleration in sport mode. At 72 mph, it actually increases mpg on the road! Going up hill! Easy to park!!! Reliable. Great value for my $$,$$$.

Excellent Car and Very Good Value

This car is a Limited Ultimate model which has everything. Comfortable car with adequate performance and good gas mileage. As an older driver I particularly appreciate all the electronic safety features on this car. I also own a late model Elantra with the same equipment and enjoyed it so much I bought the Sonata. Both are well made cars, drive nicely and look very nice inside and out. These two cars are the first Hyundai's I have ever owned and would strong urge anyone interested in buying a new or late model used car to check them out!

Great vehicle needs a V6 option

We have owned this vehicle about 8 months and it has proven to be a reliable, comfortable and dependable car. If this vehicle had an option for a V6 engine it would be on par with my Genesis. The Sonata LTD had everything you could put on the vehicle except navigation and since it has Apple CarPlay, you don’t need the navigation. Vehicle is averaging 31mpg overall. My Genesis with a powerful v6 gets 25 overall and I would trade the gas mileage for the power.

Driving a rocket ship.

I love this car. It is fun to drive and like you are in your wrapped in a coccoon in your own personal environment insulated from the rest of the world. It is a gorgous looking car as well turning heads wherever it goes.
