Leased this car on the premise of great features together with great MPG. Traded in my old gas-guzzling SUV for "great" gas mileage. First tank lasted 550 miles, I was elated. After that my MPG has been taking a dump. I was quite surprised because my driving style is very cautious, even boring. My lowest whole tank average gas mileage at fill up was 16mpg. Absolutely pathetic, I should have gotten a truck. Got sold on comfy seats and sticker MPG. I expected the mileage to be less than sticker but not like this. If you live anywhere that gets cold, and you don't do lots of long distance driving, avoid this vehicle like the plague. I am counting the days until it disappears from my life.

Took delivery of my new Sonata Hybrid on July 18. Very happy with car so far. Five tankfuls of fuel have given me an average over 39 MPG...if the tank is mostly highway driving I get average over 40, if mostly city/errands and such about 36. No problem with switching between electric and gas engine. I think there may be a learning curve to learning to drive the car for the most economy as sometimes the gas engine will come in pretty strongly, especially in hilly terrain. Car is very comfortable for long drives, my bulged discs don't even know! (to be fair, my '07 Sonata was the same way). The handling may not be quite as good as my last Sonata, but this one also feels much bigger.

I was happy to finally buy a hybrid engine. But after 4 break-downs, I need to say "Good-bye". Each time the car malfunctions on the highway. It just stops and will not start. Pressing on the accelerator is pointless. After the tow, the engine codes tell the technicians nothing is wrong with the car. After 3-4 days in the shop, the car is returned with nothing fixed. I don't blame the mechanics, but there is a design flaw in this car. Be aware, if something goes awry with the engine, or the battery, the car will not accelerate. Thankfully, my wife and I are still alive. I am still committed to buying a hybrid engine, but definitely not with Hyundai.

I purchased this vehicle as a replacement for a 2011 regular Sonata that was written off in an accident. I thought this would be a good opportunity to take advantage of the potential fuel savings given that I commute 110 kms daily. I cannot understate my disappointment. My 2011 Sonata averaged 31mpg and my hybrid averaged 35 mpg. I did a comparison of my fuel expenses and mileage. Over a 26000km period I saved approximately 198 litres. Based on todays gas prices of 1.14.9 this translates to an annualized savings of $227.00. Over a 5 year period the savings is nowhere close to the $5,000 dollar premium I paid to purchase a hybrid.
Am I driving a death trap?

Like many other 2013 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid, I received a notice that my beloved vehicle is subject to suddenly bursting into flames and, because of a KNOWN problem, it may be recalled. We called a dealer to inquire if it has yet been recalled and we're told that they haven't figured out a solution for the problem, so they aren't activating a recall yet. Our daughter and her new husband asked me what year my car was. I told them it was a 2013 and they told me why they were asking. To this point I wasn't overly concerned, figuring the recall was not global and probably wouldn't affect me. My son-in-law said his sister, driving her 2013 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid, started having some strange things happening to the car while driving on the freeway. When the engine made a strange noise and started losing power she pulled off the freeway, grabbed her baby and purse and within a minute the car burst into flames. This problem came to roost right in our family. The response from the dealership about not having a "solution" yet, so the car hasn't been recalled yet, makes this a travesty. First, the problem is only in vehicle built in the Alabama plant. Obviously, ones built in other plants don't have the problem. Therefore, recall the cars and replace the faulty parts with new ones based on the successes of other plants. Second, personally I don't give a hoot whether they currently have a solution. If my car bursts into flames it's well past the problem stage. Call my car back and give me a loaner car until mine is safe to drive. Third, if a dealership is so blasé about the safety of my car and thinks it 'safe' to drive until an issue arises, or a solution magically occurs, then I suggest that the owner of that dealership drive my car until it's fixed or it bursts into flames. Hyundai is playing with MY life and the lives of my family. If they want to play this game I'll trade vehicles with them. I don't have choices. It's my only transportation and I don't want it to be my coffin. I also noted that they are keeping a close eye on the guarantees on 90000 miles. When I sold my Honda hatchback it had logged over 300,000 miles on it's 2nd odometer. I expect the Sonata, by it's reputation, to last at least longer than the 90,000 miles...by a LOT. I don't want to have Hyundai tell me that their problem is mine when I exceed 90,000 miles. This Alabama plant problem is their problem and sliding it over to my side of the table doesn't work for me. I guess you can tell I'm not happy with Hyundai (Alabama plant) and the Hyundai approach to the solution (or lack thereof). Get these cars fixed and safely back in action OR give me a trade-in.
