1993 Hyundai Sonata 4dr Sedan
I bought my Sonata brand new in 1994
(it was leftover stock from 1993) for
the price of a used Ford Tempo. In
other words, I got a real bargain on a
brand new car (I knew the risk I was
taking on Hyundai in the early 90s).
Ten years later, I still own the car,
and haven't spent a penny on anything
but oil, fuel, and windshield wiper
fluid. I bought the base version, …
which came with standard air
conditioning (still works), tilt
steering wheel, and a good stereo. The
interior is quite roomy and the
driver's seat has a height adjustment
for short drivers.
Nice car

1991 Hyundai Sonata GLS 4dr Sedan
When I bought this car I could see the look on some people's faces ( junk ). But I was hopeful and up to the challenge to prove them wrong . The car has been very good to me and never gave me any serious or expensive trouble . It still holds its original paint and looks good . 272000 k and still going strong . It still does everything it did when it was new and I plan to keep it until it … dies . It is driven winter and summer every year shows absolutely no rust and has no holes in the underbody . The person who does my annual safety inspection cannot believe it year after year saying you should sell this car back to Hyundai . I did offer , they declined . So I dont know what else I could ask for
oil burner

1990 Hyundai Sonata GLS 4dr Sedan
This car has always started for me and
has been reliable. But for some reason
the engine has become a OIL BURNER. I
feel that this pre-mature for a car
that only has 93000 miles. Perhaps the
4 CYL engine was not appropiate for the
Sonata. The power windows don't
operate very well.
