Problems with 2006 Sonata
One year into ownership, I had trouble with the locks & the dome light burned out. The door locks would unlock & lock on their own. I have 18,400 miles on it now and the back driver's side back brake is bad. The dealership said Hyundai will not warranty the brake. The car is not yet 3 yrs old. I am the original owner. I bought the car new in Sept. 2006. I will be writing the MN Attorney General about this problem.
A lot of car for not a lot of money.
If you told me two years ago that I would buy a Hyundai I would have laughed out loud. I bought a Hyundai Sonata LX loaded and I love it. It drives great, it looks great and the stereo sounds great. The car really handles has great pick up and incredible brakes. The design is beautiful and the interior controls are well thought out and easy to use. My overall experience with this vehicle is very positive.

My first Hyundai won't be the last!
I was on the fence about Hyundai until I read about the Sonata and how it was built in America. So I bought the first V6 Sonata LX fully loaded to arrive in San Diego and paid invoice! Had to settle for Black as that was what came in. To this day I have ZERO regrets! The car is amazing and looks fantastic. It has really held up great with just a few oil changes and 30K service. I've replaced the tires and front brakes and that's it. I highly recommend this car to anyone. The only downside is gas mileage..typical driving will get you about 19 mpg if you really drive it light around 23mpg... I see it averaging close to 30 mpg on a long highway trips.
Is Camry & Accord worth an extra $4-8K??
I took the "Hyundai Challenge" and became a believer. I first drove an Accord and a Camry and after driving the Sonata there was no way to justify spending an extra $4 to 8K for a car in this class. The Sonata is a great car, smooth ride, solid feel, and looks great. I went with the LX with the moonroof and 6 CD player package. Comes with leather, heated seats, V6, shiftable automatic, and loads of safety features. Taking advantage of the rebate I got the car for $21K. Did all the negotiating for the car thru email and was extremely pleased with the experience and the dealership. I am hoping Hyundai will now live up to Honda and Toyota's quality and durability - time will tell!
2006 Hyundai Sonata
We have only had her about a week now and so far I can say without a doubt that this is one of the nicest cars that I have ever owned. I have had everything from Lincolns to Jags. For sheer comfort it is the best. Very quiet and handles like a dream. Corners flat, good engine responce and great breaks. Super quiet, can listen to the radio at highway speed without having to turn the radio up. Even plays MP3's which means one CD is good for about 10 hours. Can't say yet what the fuel milage will be but it is rated at 26 city and 33 highway. I don't know how reliable it is yet eather but with a 10 year 100000 mile warentee and 5 yrs road side assistance. can't be to bad & it's made in the USA!
