Bought the 2006 Sedan GL in 08. Still own it. Around 127,000 had to put in new transmission(2K), but even the Amoco mechanic said it is worth keeping. He was right, I'm still driving it 15 years later. In fact I came across a deal on a 2007 Sonata Limited with extra features and I BOUGHT IT. Both are under 200,000 miles, and I plan on keeping them until one of us dies....

Great acceleration. Engine and transmission is bullet-proof! Ride quality is great and suspension parts never changed after 13 years of ownership. Electrical (engine) and electronics (radio, sun roof, dash board) are problem free. Warranty is great!

Love my new car. Have had Hondas and Nissans but this is far my best vehicle. Great on mileage. Drove it to Chicago to break in. Averaged 41 hwy and 27 city which was great. Would recommend it to everyone.

NOT HAPPY!!!

I travel 160 miles per day, mostly all highway, and I am getting 24/26 MPG vs. the 33 on the sticker and all Hyundai's advertisments.I have a 6cyl 2000 Toyota Avalon with 100K miles, a much nicer and certainly more comfortable vehicle, it averages 27 MPG doing the same trip day in and day out. I was willing to sacrifice comfort for a promise of much better gas mileage. Not only am I disappointed in the mileage, the seating is very un-supportive. I realize that I am much bigger then many people however, my wife is an average sized women and she also dislikes the seating. Unfortunately, you don't find these things out when you take the car for a test drive

Don't buy a Hyundai. The 06 Sonata is my 4th of 5 Hyundai's. At 74,000 miles the airbag warning light came on. The dealer wants $1100 to replace the seat sensor. Asked for assistance from Hyundai. No thanks,it's 15,000 miles out of warranty. Still has powertrain though. This is the second time i've asked Hyundai to repair a safety issue out of the base warranty and the second time they've refused. That won't happen with Toyota or Honda.So don't buy a Hyundai. When the cars age and safety issues happen,they will show you to the curb.
