Used 2005 Hyundai Sonata Consumer Reviews
Hyundai Sonata
This is a great care for the money. Good features and one of the best warranties. Made an outstanding second car.
should have waited on 2006
I had a 99 Elantra with 160,000 miles and it was a great car. I saw an ad for the 2006 Sonata and went to a local dealership. He told me that it would be several months before the 2006 Sonata would be available and wouldn't have any discounts for 6 months after release. I gave in and purchased the 2005 GL with the power moonroof as the only luxury. They gave me nothing for my tradein. The salesman kept me so busy using the shifter that I didn't notice the 4cyl engine vibration. I did the first day I took it to work and brought it in to be checked out, they told me all the 4 cyl vibrate that badly and there was nothing that could be done. I have had people stop carpooling because of it.

A-OK
I really like my car, a Silver, 2004 Hyundai, Sonata. I bought it brand new in July 2004 and have put about 9000 miles on it so far. The only thing I had a problem with was the fact that a few months ago the circuit for all of the windows went out, none would go up or down and the dealership I went to for help told me I would have to wait a week to fix the windows. Beyond the window problem, I do love my car. I also like the fact that the exterior design makes it look like i spent a lot more money on the Sonata than I actually did. Overall, I am very happy with my car.
Beware Windshield Wipers
Hyundai won't admit this and the dealership says it's a recurring issue and nothing can be done...the windshield wipers just stop working....rain or snow. It's a MAJOR safety issue and there is no remedy. I've owned two Hyundai's and I'll NEVER buy another. Unless you want to jeopardize your life or the life of you children, don't buy this vehicle unless this problem is permanently remedied by Hyundai.
Great buy!
Very pleased with the car, smooth driving and good power. Very well equiped for the price.
