I bought a used 2019 Hyundai Sonata in June of 2023 and I have had to add oil twice a week it burns through oil as fast as gas. I have spent money I don’t have buying oil by the gallon.

Great used car

I bought my car as used from the dealer. I have had no issues so far with it. The radio and heater work better than my old Toyota Corolla.

Frequently Stolen

Purchased used as Certified PreOwned with 30K miles. One week later it was stolen. Subsequently learned that this car is one of the most frequently stolen cars by teenagers. Something called the "Hyundai / Kia challenge" is a nationwide issue. Apparently Someone knowledgeable about stealing cars posted a step by step video on TikTok showing kids how to break into and hot wire these cars in 5 minutes or less. These cars with the old style manual key (not push button) can easily be stolen using an inexpensive common computer cable which simply plugs into a couple outlets. I think the rear windows may also not be wired into the cars security system. Hyundai has not issued a recall and collision shops across the country are backed up repairing these cars, parts are hard to get due to the number of stolen cars. Repairs might take a couple months due to shortage of parts.

Problem with the car and it's new. Only 54000 mile

I bought the car off a used car lot. It had $54,000 miles on it. I drove it to Louisiana and back and realized it was a half a quart low on oil. Took it back to the dealership and they can't find out what's wrong with it. But other than that overall experience is great.

Highly recommend Hyundai's best value in automobil

This car was absolutely the best value for the dollar compared to the Accord Camry Mazda 6 and other Asian competitors this is my second Hyundai and these cars are well built reliable and an incredible value overall also a friend of mine is a mechanic and explains to me that these cars are easy to work on easy to diagnose easy to repair and parts are relatively inexpensive my opinion you cannot go wrong with a Hyundai

Can't get much better than this!

I was cross-shopping this car with the Kia Optima and this was the clear winner. For the same price as the Kia, you're getting some great features. Key features include dual automatic climate control, apple car play, push-button start, and a heated steering wheel. To get a heated steering wheel on a $24,000 car is unheard of! The feature I enjoy most is the remote climate control from the mobile app. It's so convenient. I'm not sure how I will ever live without it! I owned this car for a little over a year and driven it about 8,000 miles with no issues. The ride quality is great! Not too soft and not too stiff. A nice balance. The 2.4 four-cylinder engine will surprise you. It's not a race car, but it has enough pep around town and passing power on the highway. The interior is surprisingly roomy. The trunk could be a bit bigger but that's the price you pay for some good interior room. I'm about 5'10 and I can fit comfortably in the driver's seat with a rear-facing car seat behind me. The perfect family sedan in my opinion! The only thing this car is missing is LED headlights. The halogen projectors are still pretty good. Overall this car is a winner! With Kia and Hyundai killing it right now who needs an overpriced Honda or Toyota?!
