Thinks It's a Porsche
I have the '99 170hp V6 GLS. When I saw how much bigger the Sonata was than all the other Hyundais on the showroom floor, got in it, then found out it had a stick (not to mention the 100k powertrain warrantee and 20k price) I was sold. Fun to drive, suspension could be more firm for it's performance capability, but all in all, nice ride. Like hitting 120 mph in 5th occasionally. Car likes to go fast. I think 99/00 Body style is the best. I would buy another Sonata, if the prices and warrantee stay competitive, and especially if they come up with a V8! I think I will keep this car for as long as it runs, continually upgrading it... kind of like framing the 1st dollar. Go Hyundai!
Forget it
The worst car I've ever owned. The problems are so numerous. Replaced timing belt sensor, timing belt, power- window cable, THREE wheel bearings, engine mount bolts. And all of these were not under warranty because of mileage. My car literally fell apart after 60,000 miles. Never again.
sonata - great car
Very Positive. Great warranty, even though not needed because nothing has gone wrong
Not A Bad Car For The MONEY
My wifes Sonota has been a great little car. She has the std. 4 cyl with automatic transmission. Great Fuel Milage - 30MPG on Highway Trips. Seats get uncomfortable on long trips, could use a couple more inches of head room. No Mechanical Problems after 3 years! Good Car For The Money
This is my 4th Hyundai
This vehicle has the most comfortable ride of the four Hyundai's I've owned ('88 Excel, '90 Sonata, '94 Elantra, '99 Sonata). I've had to return it to the dealer a couple of times (02 sensors((4 of them on the 2.5L!));and a recall, that I read about in "Consumers Report". I currently have a problem with the paint peeling off the passenger outside mirror mount. Very solid and quiet vehicle. In five years, Hyundai will be the benchmark of the Asian automotive industry in the U.S.
