I just purchased Sonata hybrid with the leather package in Pearl White. It is absolutely greatest hybrid. I love how it looks inside and out. Anywhere I look at this vehicle makes me smile. Hyundai really did an excellent job of making this vehicle. Can't wait to drive it again.

I bought 2012 Sonata Hybrid last week, I drove on the local roads & highway, It's averaging 36. I was expecting 40mpg on highway, but it was 38 only on highway. Car has great interior, beautiful exterior, comfort ride. I love it. I guess, the mileage will improve after 1st oil change.. not sure, will see. Still 36 is okay mileage compare to other cars.

Title: Extremely Disappointed – Hyundai Refused to Honor Repurchase Offer & Ignored Lemon Law I am beyond frustrated and disappointed with Hyundai Motor Corporation. I purchased a used 2012 Hyundai Sonata in 2017, and almost immediately, I started experiencing serious engine issues. My car would stall in the middle of the freeway, losing power completely, putting my life and my child’s life in danger. I took it in for multiple repairs, yet the problem was never fixed. Eventually, the car became completely undriveable, forcing me to turn it in at the dealership and take on the burden of purchasing another vehicle—something I was financially unprepared for. In December 2021, Hyundai offered to repurchase my vehicle, acknowledging the issues I had faced. At the time, I was missing some paperwork, but they never gave me a deadline or expiration date for submission. I was also going through an extremely difficult period in my life, escaping an abusive relationship, which delayed my ability to complete the process. Now that I have all the documents ready and have reached back out, Hyundai refuses to honor their offer, claiming I "ran out of time"—even though no deadline was ever mentioned in the original offer. To make matters worse, I recently found out that my car actually qualified under Lemon Law, meaning Hyundai was likely legally obligated to repurchase it, but they never informed me of this. Under Lemon Law, I have four years from the date I discovered my car qualified as a lemon to take legal action, which means I am still well within my rights to pursue this case. Hyundai's attempt to deny my claim and ignore their legal responsibilities is completely unacceptable. This experience has been absolutely horrible. Not only did Hyundai fail to fix my car, but they also strung me along with a repurchase offer only to revoke it with no valid reason. I am now stuck with the financial burden of another car payment that should never have been necessary in the first place. Hyundai needs to take responsibility for their defective vehicles and stand by the offers they make to their customers. I will be exploring legal options to fight this, but I strongly urge others to think twice before trusting Hyundai with their business. This is NOT how a company should treat its customers!

With intelligent driving, this car delivers excellent mileage

I have 2 Sonata hybrids a 2011&12. The cars are roomy and provide excellent comfort. The ride is extremely smooth especially on the highway. For folks larger than petite or who have joint mobility issues, this car provides the most driver/front passenger leg room and ease of entry and exit. The controls are intuitive and the beeping signals - engine on/off, key in car etc easy to follow - somewhat similar to how a pet would communicate with you. The trick to getting excellent mileage is to use cruise control as much as possible - even in city traffic. This maximizes use of the electric vs. gas engine. I consistently get >40 mpg-see fueleconomy.gov OH entries. Luv driving this car!

Best Car I’ve Ever Owned!

I could not believe a hybrid could have so much kick! It bursts away when the light turns green and leaves nearby drivers wondering if it really said “hybrid” on the back. It is so much fun to drive. This car has all of the gizmos and goodies available in 2012 except the moonroof, upgraded sound system, backup camera, and navigation screen. Truly, I did not miss them from the comfort of the leather bucket seats, with XM Sirius pumping out my favorites, and that sweet burst of speed when passing on the highway. All of this and the gas savings, too- around 32 in the city and 39 on the highway, but there are driving techniques you can use to raise the highway mileage to the mid 40’s... my altimeter favorite!
