Bought a 2000 Sonota in Sept. 2000. The car is great. Sun roof, wood trim, etc. The performance is very good and the car gets 29.5 mpg on a trip with 4 adults, luggage, air on and driving 70. Big negative. The dealer was terrible. The sales manager was a thief. I knew the facts and stood my ground and got a good deal. The car was worth the hassle.
Good Car

I purchased my car brand new back in 2002. It now has 123,000 miles on it and I'm now just experiencing a few problems. The power steering line is leaking power steering fluid. From other reviews, it seems like this is a common problem and should possibly be a recall because of a poor design flaw. The paint is also peeling on my roof. A few other minor complaints were the antennae broke, but it was still under warranty, the O2 sensor went out a few times and chrome inside door handles peeled, all covered by a recall. Also, the maintenance is a bit pricey. Now for the good. It handles great and has such a smooth ride. No major problems the first 7 years of ownership. I'll buy a Hyundai again.
Great car. I would buy another one

We bought car with 11,000. We have 98,000 miles and only minor repairs. Runs great and gets great mpg. Rides great, shifts smooth. Not a lot of horsepower ( 4 cylinder , 140 hp) but I love the idea of 30 mpg in a mid-size car. I will run this on into the ground. No reason to sell it.
Best kept automotive secret!

I have owned Nissans and Toyotas but the 2002 Sonata is by far the best car for the dollar I have ever owned. My initial enthusiasm has not worn off. I only wonder why Hyundai doesn't spend more bucks on national advertising..they sure have the car that more people need to know about. I rate it a 9.8!
Best Buy for a 4passenger V6

The styling had quite a few total strangers stop by and ask ne what brand is it. Front view does allude to the classy "Jaguar" styling ... Problem with transmission in the first week (apparently common with Hyudai) Good stereo (sadly popular amongst car burglars). Fun to floor it and very comfortable 3-6 hr drives ... After 8000 miles: Aptly compares to most import I rode in... The V6 + Shiftronic help for "tightly timed traffic light" + winters... Max speed of 122 MPH easily attainable. 4 discs brakes need getting used to. V6 purrs (the 4 cyl has an high pitch whine on accelaration). VERY VERY HAPPY DRIVER !!! *3* Thumbs up!!!
