I am a "Ford for life kind of guy." I did some research and found a vehicle by the name of "Hyundai" I remember growing up, thinking "Hyundai was a piece of crap." But, I just bought a 2012 Sonata Limited for my wife. Now i think, "Holy Crap." What a vehicle! If you think Honda and Toyota are the best in the west, well you got to test drive this thing. I was so Impressed!
NOT SO GREAT AFTER ALL

Wanted to buy a mid-sized sedan with good gas mileage. Considered an altima but the interior was much better on the sonata. After hearing about the 10 year 100k warranty and the 35mpg rating I had to have it. The panorama roof, 200hp, and 35mpg were the three main reasons for me buying the car. After one year and 16k miles I am very dissapointed with the quality, performance and gas mileage. The car has had several electrical bugs and the engine sounds horrible. It really doesnt seem to have the 200hp hyundai says it has. I struggle to keep my mpg above 26 mpg going about 65-70mph on the highway with eco mode on. This car is not as good as I thoght it was. Dont fall for hyundai's mpg lies!
Lots of issues after 3.5yrs

At first, I thought. i was smart in buying the Sonata over Accord or Camry, now I regret it. In a few words, car started to fail me in many ways, such as airbag malfunction (light says it's not active), headlights frequently burn out, muff, and it will cost over $1.5k to fix), muffler noise ( time and $400 to fix), sunroof noises (really annoying), cracked axel (wth?), and a bunch of small, annoying issues I don't care for or have time to deal with. It was great at first, but the unreliability is starting to show. Pretty disappointed, so I won't be buying Hyundai again.

Just bought my new 2012 Sonata Limited and it's the greatest car I have ever purchased. I am particularly thrilled with the interior and luxury items like electric seat positions with lumbar support, reverse image on screen to help with backing up, and overall look. While not a Turbo, I still feel the acceleration and handling is excellent.
