SO FAR SO GOOD, PICK THE CAR UP MARCH 24,02 BOUGHT A BASE SONATA WITH A V6,AUTO FOR 16.038.00 + TAX TITLE, IN DESERT SAND,TRADED IN A 98 BONNIVIEW, NICE CAR TO BIG FOR WIFE. WE LEASED TWO MAZDA 626 FOR 6 YEARES,TOOK A USED 626 01 FOR A TEST DRIVE,THEN TOOK A SONATA 4CY AND 6CY FOR TEST RIDE. WHAT A DIFFRENCE IN RIDE,EVEN 4CY WAS QUITE COMPARED TO 626,BETTER HANDILING ALL AROUND BETTER CAR. WIFE LOVES CAR, STILL BRAKING IN. AS FOR ABS BRAKES,I HAVE HAD TWO CAR'S WITH THEM AND I WOULD NEVER WOULD BUY A CAR WITH THEM! TAKE A TEST DRIVE AND SEE WHAT YOU THINK.

I started leasing Sonata 1.5 month ago. I expected it's going to be easy on gas, but as it turned out it's not. I had owened Buick Lesabre 1989 and found that both consume gas evenly. Buick with 3.8 engine and 250,000km and Sonata with 2.7 and 3000km. I like stepping on gas but this car doesn't inspire you to put gloves on. The rest is perfect. I can't say anything about reliabilty so far. We'll see. The price, the features and the look are great.
Good Vehicle

I have been driving the car for 7 years and have almost 70K. So far no major problems, brakes and tires, kept up with the Maintenance schedule. Little things like the clock has been replaced and still does not work right, drivers side wiper keeps coming loose and have to carry wrench to tighten. Had to replace the antenna would not work in freezing temps. The car has lots of power and can keep with the best of them. I average about 20 around town and to be honest never checked it on a trip. I would buy another hyundai without any hesitation, but now looking at at Acura, want to upgrade a little. Seats and interior all has held up well

I have the V6 & PWR moonroof options.The car looks great and rides nice, the V6 gives it excellent speed and makes merging easy. The windshield defroster is a little slow but the AC is great. The fold down rear seats are a great addition. I would recomend the Auto. but I would stick with the 6 cyl.
Solid Transportation But

I now have 94K miles and the car has provided 100% reliable transportation. Most reliable car I've ever owned. BUT - the electric antenna never worked right from day one, the clock goes on and off and I can't turn the radio off. It keeps coming on at random times. Love the car, it drives wonderfully, very comfortable, no repairs except oil and tires. Good mileage. Still looks shiny and new. The Rick Case purchasing experience was horrible (very manipulative) and their service dept isn't any better. They charged me $460 to do back breaks but only did one and charged me for both. Found a work light hanging from my car when I got home! I'll buy another Sonata soon but not from them.
