Not a good car to buy, get the V6!

What ever you do, get the V6 if you are considering buying a used Sonata. The 4-cylinder model lacks in pickup, accelleration, and keeping a constant speed. The Transmission is taxed heavily because of the undersized engine. The car is much too heavy to have a 4 knocker under the hood, it needs at least a 6, maybe even an 8!

I've had a Sonata for two years and it was only two years old when I bought it. I've had more problems and put more money into fixing it than I ever should have.
OK

No major problems. Does not let you know you've left your lights on. This can be a problem with weak battery that comes with car. Tires weak on takeoff on wet surfaces.

ok so i bought this car used from the credit union and 2 days later the power windows went out. the rotors need to be turned every 3 months whether the brakes are brand new or not. when the power windows mess up the locks mess up and so on. when you lock one door while its running the drivers side window goes down. it has been ok while driving on the highway but when you need a part you have to get them from the dealer like the power windows is dealer only and the transmission fluid is dealer only due to its being a hyundai

I purchased this cat in 2000 with 13,000 miles. I had no major issues with it until the transmission started to go with less than 60,000 miles. Previously, all kinds of window regulator issues. All four went at one time or another and one window broke twice! Not the motor but still an expensive hassle. In 2003 I had a minor fender bender and the front hood crumpled like cardboard. I repaired the car and kept it till 2009 when like I said the transmission died at 60000 miles.
