Used 2016 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Consumer Reviews
Sonata Hybrid Limited
This car is extremely quiet, comfortable, and rides very well. Is somewhat sluggish in Eco Driving Mode but is getting a confirmed 45 MPG. Only negative I've found is the depth (height?) of the trunk because of the battery below.

Toyotas No More
This is my second Sonata, and my first Hybrid. Got a very good deal on this car, in that I bought it from inventory as their last '16 Hybrid left on the lot. Really love this car. Expected to get 41 MPG typically, but getting closer to 44-50 in my suburban/freeway driving. Less on cold days (as low at 38 MPG) with the heater running. Better acceleration than I expected. Car doesn't know its a Hybrid apparently. Does anyone else tie the electric and gas engines together harmoniously other than Hyundai? Seems like a no brainer. Much smoother ride than my 2011 GLS. The shifting between electric and gas mode is seamless. That was a "wow". Really like the blue tooth voice dialing system. Works better than my wife's system. People have complained about the Blue Link navigation, but I have gotten used to it. Has pluses and minuses next to my wife's Honda Accord's built-in navigation system. My only complaint is that the battery went bad prematurely, but that might be expected when you buy a '16 at the beginning of the '17 model year. Would have been nice had it come with a spare tire. Overall though, much more than I expected for the price.

Love Hybrid
Bought bare bones SE Sonata hybrid because a Limited was not available due to the excellent year end rebate. Nice quiet ride. Impressed with MPG which ranges from 40 to 50 mpg. Seems to get best mileage in city driving if you keep heavy acceleration to a minimum and coax the drive into EV mode. Would not have purchased a hybrid without the huge rebate but glad I did. Miss having the options I would have selected had they been available. Seems to be an excellent value.

So Far SO good
Really enjoy it. My first hybrid, so I'm still getting used to the braking feel. The hybrid system is seamless and the balance between power and economy is excellent. The car has a very premium feel. The ride is smooth and steering feels consistent. The vented seats work great, and the climate control is strong and flexible. Back seat comfort is high and plenty of room for two passengers with a car seat. Trunk is sizable. I opted not to get the Ultimate, but sometimes wish I had for a better touchscreen, the panoramic roof and some more safety bells and whistles. A few nits: my driver's side window will freeze half way up and head back down; sometimes it takes a few cycles of up and down to get it to close properly. The Limited (no Ultimate) touchscreen is SMALL and doesn't pack a lot of info. The clock and compass are far out of normal drivers sight lines. And I haven't been able to get the driver's seat consistently comfortable. Overall very happy, and would definitely recommend. I chose this over a Mazda 6, which was a close second
