Having this car for a year. Has some minor issues. However, absolutely love it. AH H H HH H HH HH H H H H

We bought a 2009 Hyundai Sonata back in 2011 with 77k miles. Although it was a comfortable car, it was not very reliable, about a year after we got it we were on the road and all of sudden the car kept stalling so we pulled over into a Hotel and tried to see what the issue was, the car would not start anymore and we didn't want to risk flooding the engine. It was not the battery, It turns out the starter broke and needed to be replaced and apparently this model year had a recall on starters so there goes 600 dollars out the door. Other issues were the wheel hub and bearing had to be replaced on the one of the wheels and then the caliper because the brake started burning up and looked as though it was overheating and driving the car was dangerous at that point. Also brake lights and headlight bulbs started running out after a year which I thought was kind of weird for a car that was only 3 years old. The last thing was the transmission started jerking and kicking every time we began slowing down at a light or stop sign and that was very annoying. Overall is was a nice car, but had too many issues, pickup was lackluster, the car value was bad it depreciated very quickly, after 2 years of owning the car it was worth only 6 or 7 grand. I would not recommend this year model. Better off purchasing the newer models.

It's a good first car for teenagers, suspension is a bit quirky but nothing to dangerous just makes for a less than smooth ride nothing too bad.
