Used 2005 Hyundai Sonata Consumer Reviews
sonata fun
I have really enjoyed my Hyundai Sonata. I haven't had it more than 6 months but it has performed wonderfully so far. I love the comfort inside with it's plush interior and roomy seats. I don't have to rub elbows with whoever is in the passenger's seat. It is also large enough to store all of my Coast Guard equipment, which would overwhelm my closets. The outside is gorgeous, comparable to a Jaguar. People have assumed that my car costs a lot more than it actually does because of it's overall package. I also love the shifter, going from automatic to manual in one shift is handy when I am trying to get on the parkway and no one will let me in, Long Island anyone? Great car, satisfied customer
Sonata Review
Good quality vehicle with an excellent warranty and which is fun to drive.
More Bang For Your Buck
Car handles well when driving even in the rain. Engine noise is not loud so I don't know why other consumer said it was loud. It looks like a Jag car on the road. I'm happy with the driving performance, I have a 4 cylinder and it felt like a V6. I feel Hyundai really wants my business and cares about their customers even long after you buy the car. I feel that Hyundai quality in the GL 2005 Sonata has improved so much that it can compete against Japanese cars. I'm beginning to see more people on the road with a quality car that can't afford a big name brand car like Toyota or Honda. This car safety features are great with standard side impact airbags.
Reliable Used Car at a Low Price
I do not own this car, but a family member to whom I recommended it to does, and I do drive it from time to time. Overall, it is a good midsize car. I thas the special edition package that includes heated cloth seats and automatic climate control. Comfort on long drives is fine. The ride is smooth and engine and road noise are well controlled with only an occasional squeak or rattle. The car was purchased with 23k and now has over 40k. Only needed new tires, brakes and belts in addition to regular maintenance, of course. The V- 6 has adequate power, but my much more powerful Azera gets better gas mileage. Overall, a good choice for a reliable used car at a low price.
Great Drive
When I first saw this car on the road I said, hmmmm that looks like a Jaguar, but as I got close I soon learned it was a Hyundai. Well I found myself needing a car a few days ago and shopped around.I stopped by D'arcy Hyundai in Joliet and there it was in the showroom and I immediately fell in love with this car. It had every thing I wanted in a car and it was standard. I also learned that this car came with features that not too long ago were not standard. This was a pleasant surprise. It has the sleek front end look of a Jaguar this is why I purchased it.
