Very satisfied, but wish I'd known more

We have enjoyed this vehicle and it has performed admirably. I was sad to learn that there was a class action involving the engine in our particular car (2.4 L), but our dealer has performed the appropriate software update, and we hope to enjoy many, many more years in this car.

I really like Sonata's

This vehicle met all my needs. Had my previous Sonata for 20 years and hope to have this one the same amount of time. I love it. My grandkids are always wanting to drive it.

I have this vehicle since April 2019 and so far s

I really like the vehicle. It drives smooth. If you need to take off fast it performs very well. I like the way the vehicle looks inside and out. Very nice looking car. I also like the color Machine Gray. Overall I really like this vehicle!

Fun to drive

We are having a lot of fun with our new car and it is better on the gas mileage than expected. We have been happy with the car.

Best looking car I’ve ever owned

I have owned several Hyundais so cery familiar with the brand. The 2019 sonata is a good looking car with a comfortable ride, it has the power to pass on a two lane road and i keep seeing a rating of subpar gas mileage? Don’t understand that at all, mine gets and average of 35 mpg😳 i drove a ford fiesta before my sonata and it got 39 mpg, until the sonata I thought i had to have a small car to get that kind of mileage? The interior controls are well thought out and easy to use, they make sense!! Roomy backseat and large trunk, in my opinion the sonata has it all.

I hate it.

Worst decision I've ever made. I acted impulsively and ended up with a piece of garbage. Very disappointed. Definitely my first and last Hyundai purchase.

Great car, I would buy another

I have enjoyed owning this car so far. While only a year old and 2 service visits in, it has caused no unneeded repairs or work. I have read in other posts that some feel it is underpowered, I think it's more than enough for all driving needs. You won't be winning drag races from a stop light, but you will get up any hill, merge just fine and pass with ease. The car is a great value, drives well (could use a bit better cornering capability) and is quiet and smooth. Interior design looks a bit behind other car brands but isn't awful and is very functional and overall good. I have the Sport trim level and love the grill and dual exhaust and D cut steering wheel. I do look forward to many more miles of trouble free driving.

Very comfortable car...drives well.

This car is a perfect fit for me b/c I gave my Honda Accord to my daughter Perfect size. Plenty of leg room. I was looking for a midsize car and this is perfect.
