Great Car! Runs great with room to spare. We bought it for the warranty but so far we have not used it. Maybe one of these days Hyundai will retain their resale values like the Hondas. The depreciation of the vehicle is the only set back and it isn't justified.

After driving my 2004 Sonata for seven weeks, I'm convinced I made the right decision. We have been so pleased with it that my wife went and purchased a 2004 Elantra. The warranty is impossible to beat at any other dealership. The car rides very comfortably and handles extremely well in both city and highway driving. It's stylish design is far more attractive to me than the high-backed Nissan Sentra and the squared-off Toyota Camry. I highly recommend this car.

overall comfort and solid styling makes this car a pleasure to drive. probably the only real down side to buying a Sonata is the low resale value.

I'm very happy with my car choice. The Sonata looks good, drives well, has plenty of basic features, more pick up an go for a 4cyl than I thought and great rain run off on the large, great designed trunk!
Love at first sight

I went to our one week old Hyundai dealer to buy an Elantra for my wife and ended up trading off my Lexus ES- 300 for a loaded Sonata! There it was just begging me to take it home; I couldn't resist. It is not as sporty nor as powerful as the Lexus but I am not 20 anymore so those things are not as important. This car just looks and feels right. Except my wife didn't win.
Excellent Buy!

Traded in a Ford Taurus, the Hyundai is a bit smaller and a little more cramped, but a whole lot peppier and quiter. I wish at least the GLS and LX came with power seats, I miss this feature as my wife and I use the car and always adjusting mirors, seats ETC. Waa Waa no big deal We really love our Hyundai. Have 12000 miles on it and am taking it in for the first minor problem.

This is the best car I've ever owned. I've had just about every type of car known to man (or woman)...Mercedes, Nissan, Chevrolet Corvette, Blazer, etc. This car handles well, the ride is quiet, the mileage is great. I can't say enough. Then, add in the awesome warranty and the LOW price and I don't know why anybody would buy any other car!
Excellent Performance and Value

We looked several of the "big boys"-Camry, Accord, Altima. The Sonata came out on top for us because of its excellent rating on reliability. However, what really sold me was the smooth, comfortable ride. I do a lot of freeway travel and I found that at at freeway speeds the Sonata is much more quiet and comfortable than any of the other aforementioned cars-even the Camry. I get all kinds of compliments on the looks of the car too-something I've never gotten before on any other car I've ever ever owned. I love this car.

I commute 76 miles to work, a total of 152 a day. My Hyundai Sonata has been superb. I have put 58,000 miles on the car in just under 18 months and have not had a single problem. Not one! I have been fanatical about oil changes etc. and tire rotation from day one. My gas mileage is excellent at 30 mpg and the Sonata 6 cyl has more than enough zip to keep me out of trouble on the open road. I am a big man and the Sonata is very comfortable with more than sufficient leg and head room. All in all a pleasure to drive and a pleasure to own.

I purchased this car new and now have 104,000 miles on it. I have all the recommended services performed and have had NO problems at all. Very reliable and comfortable. After 4 years, I still enjoy driving this vehicle. I would recommend Hyundai to anyone wanting a lot of car for a lot less money than competitors.

I drive 1100 miles a week, to work and back, and this car has been faultless for the past 23K miles. And yes I do preventive maintenance, to assist this, such as 3K miles oil changes, tires, etc. And have only really incurred the cost of four Yokohama 520 tires; which are superb on this vehicle. Get one you'll be surprised at this good all round secret. PS 32-33 mpg (95% highway).

Overall, this car has a great, great ride. It is very smooth in comparison to the Toyota Camry. With its low wheelbase, it corners very well with stable, predictable handling. The six cylinder motor gives plenty of extra kick when accelerating and going up steep grades, even with a full load.
Excellent car for the price!!!

Purchased in 2001 as new.Had previously ownes a Elantra wagon and a Santa Fe. Both also excellent and with standard 4. Friends thought Hyundai was cheap etc. you know the old stories. Well i am known to be smart when spending and Hyundai gives dollar for dollar the best deal in quality, reliability and well they won me over big time.

I ENJOY DRIVING THIS CAR BECAUSE IT HAS A LUXURY FEEL TO IT. THE EXTERIOR IS MADE TO RESEMBLE A MORE EXPENSIVE VEHICLE. SOMETIMES PEOPLE LOOK AT ME WHILE I AM DRIVING AND THINK ITS A LEXUS. I HAVE A 6 CYLINDER AND IT DRIVES VERY SMOOTHLY AND QUITE. ABOUT THE ONLY THING I DON'T LIKE IS THE SOUND OF THE RADIO. IT IS NOT AS CLEAR AS I WOULD LIKE. EVERYTHING ELSE LOOKS AND FEELS FABULOUS. IT LOOKS BETTER THAN MY CO- WORKERS NEW IMPALA. IT IS MORE CONFORTABLE THAN MY BROTHERS NEW DODGE INTREPID. I PAID MUCH LESS THAN THEY DID FOR THEIR CARS. I GOT A 10 YEAR WARENTEE AND A CAR WITH MORE LUXURY FEATURES. CAN'T BEAT THAT!
Love it!

This was not my first choice, but after a couple of months of driving it I am MORE than pleased. I am told it looks like an expensive sports car from the rear and that the rear seat is comfortable for adult human beings! It is fun to drive, easy to park and nice to look at! The number of features that come standard are wonderful for the price.

I am very happy with my Sonata, I have owned it for exactly 2 years now. This car is not only stylish on the outside, but the inside is very elegant. My friends and even strangers all comment on the sleek new look. This car is reliable and very hardy, but the 5 year/60,000 mile warrenty really makes me feel at ease I will have no major problems with this car.
Good value, excellent warranty

I have only had my Hyundai for 11 months, but I really enjoy driving it. The price was right. (I was looking for a nice car that I could afford to pay cash for, and the Hyundai fit the bill. So far I am completely happy with my Sonata.

My 85 yr old mother purchased this 2004 sonata gls new. Turned into on coming traffic and was hit head on, the other car was totaled she received only a minor bruise from the air bag. We hoped they would total it so he didn't have to put her back on the road. Ins fixed it, she no longer drives and I have been driving it. Now I am glad they repaired it, it's the best car I have ever owned.

I have owned my Sonata since October and drive approximately 100 miles per day. I have found two problems with this car both minor but worth mentioning. When making a sharp left hand turn if you knee or hand touches the drivers door the bell which indicates an open door sounds no matter how firmly the door is closed. The second problem is the washer fluid for the windshield doesn't squart up high enough on the windshield - as a matter of fact it 'just hits' the bottom of the windshield. Other than these two minor problems I love my Sonata I find it as comfortable as some high prices sadans and I didn't pay high dollars for it.
great car for the money

The Sonata is a luxury car and is the finest vehicle that I personally have owned. The first hyundia that my wife and I owned was a accent. Both of these cars are in a class of there own. If I would have bought a similar car I would have spent thousands more. The next car that I buy will also be a hyundia. They are worth everything.

A great car to look at and a great car to drive. The v-6 has good power when accelerating and passing. The engine runs smooth at all speeds. the ride is great. You can't beat the warranty on this vehicle. So far at 30000 everthing is A OK.
The best in its class...no doubt!

Overall, I love this car. The fuel economy is not quite as good as the competitors, but it's not bad. The low end tourque of the V6 is pretty weak, but once it gets going the car performs very well. passing on the highway is not a problem. The ride is extremely smooth, and quiet, and the car handles very well. The inside is confortable, and the standard features/price ratio was unmatched by any other car.
love that car

I was able to buy a nice sedan, with all the bells and whistles I wanted, for way less than I expected. This car is SHARP! and practical. No problems yet. The engine is kind of knocky (4 cyl) but I don't care.

THIS CAR IS AN EXCELLENT VALUE. IT RIDES WELL, IS RELATIVELY NOISE FREE EVEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE STEREO IS EXCELLENT AND THE SUNROOF OPERATES FLAWLESSLY. THE ENGINE IS QUIET AND THE CAR IS ERGONOMICALLY DESIGNED, ESPECIALLY IN CASE OF COLLISION. SIDE SEAT BAGS ARE A DISTINCT PLUS. I CHOSE CLOTH SEATS OVER LEATHER BECAUSE OF MY DOG'S CLAWS. LOVE THE LUMBAR SUPPORT AND THE POSITIVE ACCELERATION. GETS EXCELLENT GAS MILEAGE. PEOPLE STOP AND LOOK AT IT. IT WILL VERY SHORTLY BE A BETTER ALTERNATIVE THAN THE HONDA AND TOYOTA WHICH COST A LOT BECAUSE OF HIGH NAME RECOGNITION. REBATE IS EXCELLENT.
Fun to drive!!!!!!!
