I truly love this car! Even though it doesn't have all the horsepower I'd like it too, it still has more than enough to get you from point A to B and everywhere in between. This vehicle is designed and styled to be luxury but without the overpricing that other dealers have. Great car! Excellent value!

8,000 miles on my 2005 Sonata

I just turned 8,000 miles on my new Sonata (bought new) & still the best car available in my book. NO problems even through a tough slippery winter -- ABS & TRC pulled me through with flying colors! I love the sleek design -- everyone thinks it's one classy-looking vehicle. One friend summed it up by saying, "Wow... you can go ANYWHERE in a car like that!" It's true. We've driven across three states & the car is very comfortable. Love the back seat armrest & three seat belts, huge trunk, plush interior & fun driving. A/C cranks up fast, too! Classy black with beige interior, even in 90 degree heat it's not unbearably hot inside. Kids fit in the back, even my 16 year old son & his girlfriend.

I don't have a lot of miles, but so far I have really enjoyed the car. I traded in a 2004 Honda Accord, and have not regreted it. In fact, my old Honda is still sitting on the car lot. However, there is a faint vibration coming from behind the dash...and I cant find it. It is driving me nuts. Also the radio is probably the most annoying radio every made. Why is there a tape deck with it...can you still buy tapes? The car has been fun, it had good acceleration and makes heads turn. It's my mini- Jag. To my supprise, there are several aftermarket items for it. One last thing, it corners well, but tends to sway a little too much sometimes. I could put some anti-sway bars on or slow down....

Just the facts

Because of information on TV about Hyundai had grapped my attention. Upon seeing and driving the car I was surprised at how easy it was to drive, the power and a smooth ride. After checking the safety features I was truly a happy camper. It seems that every time I use the car I discover another amenity that I had missed although the Sales Rep. had gone through the car with me a number of times. The car also has small features like an area for a Cell phone or pack of cigarettes. The power the car has is not normally found in a vehicle that gets 26 to 35 miles per gallon of gas. It really is an car that gives you more than the price you pay.
