Best Car Ever!

2005 Hyundai Sonata GLS 4dr Sedan (2.7L 6cyl 4A)

This was the best car we ever had! all we had to do was normal oil and tire changes. We owned the car for 4 years, until recently when I was in an accident. The car was totaled and the insurance company is only offering 1/2 of what we still owe! I kid you not when I say this was the best car ever! I was told that I was lucky, this car did what it was supposed to do and that was to keep those in the vehicle safe. I wish I had my car back! I cannot afford another one since i have to still pay 1/2 of the loan for a car I do not have! I can not afford to buy a car at all. If I could I would buy another in a heart beat. My 4 boys miss it just as much as I do, if not more. Thank You!

This is my second hyundai sonata, and I can say that, without a doubt, Sonata's are great vehicles. The power of the 4 cylinder is unlike any other, and the ride is smooth. It handles corners that other cars have to slow down for. I must say it is a good car for a single person, or for a small family. With loads of storage, and extra power ports for coolers, dvd players, or any such travel device, it is worth the money. with 10 year 100,000 first owner warranty, and 5 year 60,000 second owner warranty, it is definitely worth the money.
Poor Manfacturer Follow Up

I have loved my Hyundai Sonata except for one thing.It started making a horrible noise from the rear at about 36,000 miles and has gotten much worse over time.The servicing dealership (Pinehurst Hyundai) would not acknowledge the noise, and the Hyundai Corp. simply ignored our plead for help.No Hyundai area rep would even take time to contact us! We are left with a vehicle that we can't sell and get anything out of because of this.The poor customer service has literally cost us thousands of dollars.If you are planning to purchase a Hyundai you need to consider that if anything happens They will not stand behind there product. That tells me that they do not believe in their product. Beware!
Reliable car

Over 300,000 miles on car, still runs and looks almost new. Uses no oil, no leaks, runs smooth. Nice styling, handles great, hugs the road. Has never broken down or left stranded on side of road. Only issues are drivers heater in seat failed after 5 years, replace cruise control module at 15 years. Airbag light comes on once in a while due to cheap connector under passenger seat. Everything else regular maintenance. Use full synthetic oils and duralube every 30000 miles. Hoping for 500,000 miles plus! Bought new on sale for 15k. Best money ever spent on a car.
