Absolutely love this car
I can't say enough about this car. It has the style I want in a limited edition and the class I expect. I have 45,000 miles on it now and haven't had a single problem. It drives so smoothly and is quiet even on the interstate. I wish the newer models were as sharp looking as this and I would definitely trade it in. My car payment is worth every penny on this vehicle.
Great Sedan
The Sonata is a tremendous value if you are looking for a sedan with a lot of room. Comfortably can seat 4 adults and can add a 3rd person in the backseat if needed but probably not for long trips. With 9 years of use and 100,000 miles, the vehicle has had minimal service issues. Still driving this vehicle after 10 years and 105,000 miles. Other than the gas cap release no longer working (now have to pop the release from inside the trunk) it is working great!

Dissapoint
I bought the 2011 Sonata Limited used in 2012 with 7700 miles on it. It is by the worse car I've ever owned and that includes car all the way back to the 1960's. Fifteen recalls, two broken coils springs, subframe assembly and controls needed to be replaced, starter, bad paint, two calipers seized, four emissions codes and that just off the top of my head. I take excellent care of my cars. My other car is a 1994 3000GT that I bought in 1996. Everyone thinks it new.
Driver's seat
The only thing I am truly disappointed in is that the driver's seat is very short and, if you have long legs, you will not be comfortable driving this car. Otherwise, everything else from the steering to the get up and go with only a 4-cylinder is wonderful.
Quality is suspect
I bought this car after two other Hyundai's with VERY high hopes. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed. From the moment I took delivery, the infamous glove box squeak. Rattles, out of place trim pieces, and other ungodly noises from everywhere. With upgraded audio, doors rattle at volume. Ride is EXTREMELY rough in this vehicle at all trim levels. The positive? It does extremely well in an an accident. I rear-ended a girl going nearly 40 miles per hour; the airbag deployed and the front-end crumpled exactly as designed. I walked away with ZERO injuries; not even a scratch. Those that have come to appreciate Hyundais value-oriented quality will be disappointed by this car.
