Was in MBZ for many years. Became interested in Sonata design in 2011. Liked what I saw. In 2014 finally made the switch and bought a new hybrid LTD. amazing bulletproof vehicle. Recently traded in and bought a 2017 CPO hybrid LTD. truly the finest automobiles in that price range. Still love Benz but Hyundai, in my opinion, has made the LTD sonata their version of a MBZ

Love this car...great interior and exterior fit and finish, mileage is out of this world! Pearlcoat paint job is flawless, and great body lines...car gets high marks for styling. I could only spot two areas that could use improvement. Tire noise is a little excessive in the SE trim...higher trim packages are equipped with better tires. Brakes are a little touchy, but this is pretty common on all hybrids. This is an exceptional car with many options available, and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone. Compare prices, looks and fuel savings, it really is a no brained. Buy the Hyundai...did I mention the fantastic warranty?

I've gotten over 60mpg on warm days when going no more than 5 over the limit (around 40mpg when it's freezing). I've had one issue with this car though, but that may be because I bought it uses, and it was rear ended before I bought it. The issue is that the hybrid system component sent me a warning indicator, and as I type this, it's at the dealership being looked at. They say it could be a hybrid coolant pump leak, but aren't sure. I don't know whether it was caused by the accident or if it's defective. I haven't had this car a month yet.

Best car I've owned in 50 years

What's left to say? My first rattle trap of a car was a '58 Chevy. Since then I've owned Ford, GM, Dodge/Ram, Triumph (talk about love/hate!), BMW/Mini, Mazda, Toyota, Nissan, and Lexus. The mid-1990s Lexus LS400 was a very good car that was at the leading edge of the industry in many ways. It does not compare to the Hyundai. The Sonata is a far cry from being at the leading edge of automotive technology but Hyundai has gotten everything right. It is the best car I've owned. Period. I wouldn't be selling it if I wasn't moving out of the US. I can't take it with me. That's OK though. I'll buy another when I get settled.
