I purchased my Sonata when it 39,000 miles on it. Now, I'm approaching 276,000 and it's still going strong!! Even though it's a 4-cylinder it has plenty of umph! The only thing I have done to it over the years is changed the air filter, plugs, brakes, typical maintenance stuff, and had to put an oxygen sensor in it a few thousand miles ago. I've had to replace the driver's window regulator once, a door handle, and the master driver window switch. Other than that, this is the best car I have ever owned, and until it just gives up on me I'm never giving up on her! It's easy to work on and any parts I've had to replace are relatively cheap (online purchasing is so much cheaper!). It still gets 33mpg on the highway! A/C still works! I replaced the factory stereo system soon after I bought it, and it's still fun to drive! If this car ever dies (and I hope it doesn't!), I'd get another one in a heartbeat!

Excellent driving characteristics, hard to find a 5 speed 4 door sedan that is fun to drive. Considering everything else I drove (Altima, Accord, Fusion), this was definitely the best value. Quality seems very good, and much better than my previous Dodge Ram (07). Need better gas mileage, and the sonata fit the bill.

I took delivery of my Sonata SE this afternoon and I am really impressed so far. For years I've wanted a 4 cylinder with a 5 spd that was fun & value packed for a reasonable price, a la Hondas of years past. I had heard about the big rebates and called a dealer for a quote. They had the car I wanted in NC. The dealership sent drivers to get it and bring it back to Atlanta. Then they installed black leather and delivered it to my office for free. The paper work was as agreed, so no drama there. They threw in tires for life (sweet!) and I got it for less than 18 grand out the door which is just unreal. This car has so much value packed in it. Super nice & safe.
Hope the Resale Value is Good!

I do a lot of driving and I needed a decent commuter car. I bought this car primary to the fact that it had a $5000 Rebate on it. I looked at the Honda Accord and thought it was the ugliest car on the planet and it cost more. I was unaware of the new Chevrolet Malibu at the time. After adding around 27,000 Miles annually on the car, I am ready to put it for sale due to it subpar performance, as well as a lack of comfort. I know, I bought this car for commuting, but I expect to get a little more out of the I4 Engine than I currently receive. The seats are comfortable, but they are lacking in long term comfort for those long trips. Interior styling is outdate. Goodbye Sonata, Hello Malibu!
Warranty is not as good as I thought

The car seemed OK and when I drove it for a while I got home and looked under the hood. Most of the fluids where not at the proper level. I topped them myself rather than drive 40 miles back. The engine luggs at 40 MPH when in top gear. Suspension handles bumps in a way that feels odd like the tires are bouncing over the bumps. The dealer claims an oil change is needed every 3000 miles and the company backs this up but when I first got the car they said 3000 only for severe use. Now they say everything in the US is severe. I had 2 mechanical problems with a tire pressure detector malfunction and a brake problem. Their "best warranty" did not cover anything.
