Best car I have ever owned

I just love this car. It’s got more room that you think. It is comfortable to ride in and drive. The back seat is spacious. The trunk is much bigger than it looks. Great gas mileage as well. And the warranty is the best one I have ever found.

great car for the money

I am leasing this car now and have had it about 4 months and I have not had any problems with it and is roomy and pleasing to the eye also. Never thought I would own a Hyundai, but it was recommended to me by a friend and boy am I glad he did. Great warranty, easy lease, and great service from the dealer.

Stylish and comfortable

The 2018 Sonata Sport plus is the best car I've ever owned. I'm excited about driving it every day. I love the features and how it drives.

Nice car for the price

Satisfied with the car overall! Love the included 10 year, 100 thousand mile warranty! Handles and rides good! The one problem that is a little bothersome is the 6 speed transmission. It is adjusted to help with gas mileage and pickup. But when it first changes to 2nd, 3rd and 4th gear, it drops down to a very low RPM which is resonant to the car and sends a loud sound/vibration throughout the car. Asking the dealership to adjust the change points would probably lower the gas mileage or make the car jerk when changing gears. We did let the manufacture know this on a survey. So hopefully after a lot of testing at the factory on other cars, it will be changed correctly on future models and maybe an update on older ones.

Best Vehicle for the price Hands Down!!!

This car exceeded my expectations!! It has heated seats, remote car starter, wireless car charger, back up camera, heated steering wheel, blind spot warning on the side view mirrors, touch button truck opening, dual heating system, and came in my favorite color - RED!!! I love this vehicle and all the amenities!!!

This is by far the best car I've ever owned !

Compared to my 94 maxima that was previously owned, my 2018 Sonota is perfect ! I am referring friends and family to go get one

Huge value for the money

Very spacious front and especially large leg room in back seat. Handles great in all types of weather. Gas is excellent for this size of car and lots of standard equipment such as Andriod auto front screen panel, safety features such lane departure assistant and back up camera. For the price it's a great car that I know is very reliable good value for the money .

Good value for Sonata

Got the Limited edition and it has nice roomy interiors, good technologies, nice exterior style, and good handling. Hose power is decent. Love the safety features such as blind spot warning.

Stylish and Affordable

This car has met my every need and then some! I was nervous about transitioning from an SUV to a car, but I needed something with better gas mileage now that I have a longer drive to work each day. The gas mileage is fantastic, and the car is extremely comfortable for all passengers. And an added bonus, it handles very well in the snow!
