Review
I just bought this Hyundai used. I
bought it after reading the Consumer
Reports evaluation of the new Hyundai
Sonatas. The new Hyundais are rated
as above average in reliability.
This 2001 is a four cylinder, but has
good acceleration and handles well.
It cruises at highway speeds easily.
It is quiet, comfortable and fun to
drive.
I like the power moonroof and the cd
player.

Review
This car had more problems than can be
explained in 700 words. Briefly, the
air conditioner compresser gutted at
about 8,000 miles, the engine would
die and not restart, (a sensor they
said), the engine jumped time and when
it was returned, died the nest day. It
was towed 9 times and spent as much
time in the shop as on the road. At
36,000 miles the engind jumped time
again and would not run, the dealer
would not fix the problem, and I
returned the car to them. I was out
down payment and year and half of
payments on a car that was at best a
piece of junk. No more Hyundais for me.

Review
The car looks good and drives good. I
had to replace the battery after almost
3 yrs., and the warranty lived up to
itself. My main complaint is the
resale value. If you are going to buy
one, buy it used. We are getting ready
to trade it in, and we are extremely
disappointed in the trade in value.

Review
I purchased the gold trim package, V6
Sonata GLS.I have been very pleased
with this vehicle since the purchase
date and I have never recieved so many
complements from my co-workers and
friends about a vehicle. It's just like
the 2003 model except for the different
grill. I don't know why the 2003 model
supposedly gets 1 less mile to the
gallon. Maybe because of it's automatic
climate control feature. Look out
Toyota, there's another quality import
in town now.

I have a loaded 2001 GLS with 33,000
miles. Had two problems, driver door
window that was fixed at no charge and
at 28 months a battery was needed. The
dealer pro-rated the battery at 60% off
retail. Its just a great car,
performance,comfort,style how can you
go wrong. And for under $20,000. You
have to take it for a ride and see for
yourself

I had an Excel before which was great,
but the quality and value of the
Sonata is outstanding. I use it for
short commutes and long trips with the
family and it does the job really
well. I have had one problem with the
power windows which was fixed under
warrantee.

Review
I love the car. It rides very smooth,
classy look,spacy,affordable,sound
system great.
Negative Features:
Cruise control button is placed in
inconvenient location. Mirrors stick
out a little too far. Front bumber
always scrapes when parking(too low). A
little wind noise when windy and at
high speed. If you get a side wind the
car rocks. Power steering is a little
loud. Upset that I didn't know they
were coming out with a new model the
following year. Over all I would
recomend the car. I have had no
problems with it. If you have an
opportunity, test drive, you will be
blown away. It drives like a new Jag!

If you want a car that is going to do
what a car is suppose to do and more,
buy a Sonata! I bought one and been
happy ever since. I am 6'5 and 300
pounds. The Sonata, unlike many other
car, makes a person my size feel
comfortable. To to meation, it is
sporty for a bachelor and upscale to
fit in any event. I receive VIP
service every time I take my car to
the dealer. I love my Sonata and I
love Hyundai. Though I will be trading
it in for a SUV, I am sticking to
Hyundai for a Santa Fe.

This GLS v6 is just about the nicest
car I've owned. It's coming up on 50K
and I've had no troubles whatsoever.
I'd buy another one in a heartbeat.
