I am very happy with my new car. I've been driving a 1996 Cavalier over the past 9 years until I decided lately to get a new one. Over the past 3 weeks, I've been researching and thinking of getting either a Camry or an Accord. But last night, my decision finally zeroed on to the Sonata after reading the reviews and the consumer ratings online. I am very impressed with the design of the car. The engine is very quiet and the ride is very smooth. I bought mine today, Dec 31, 2005 at $3900 less than the MSRP. The good ratings combined with the best price helped me decide for this car.
Awesome

Overall, it's been a solid car with decent reliability. It's solidly built and pretty quiet on the highway. Gas mileage is middling, but it is a V6. Power is decent for a family sedan. Pros: Reliable, fairly quiet, inexpensive to maintain Cons: Interior is low rent. For some reason, the suspension has started to squeak when going over any small bumps. Hasn't affected handling. May be due to the excessive dry heat (Phoenix az) we have here. Have had to replace radiator hoses and one of the windshield washer nozzles (again probably due to the heat here). Would I buy again? Probably not. But for reliable transportation at low cost with decent power, it's been a good purchase. It's like a good mule, not a quarterhorse. UPDATE: Well at this point any car is going to have problems. The concerning one is that out of ever 10 starts, i have to struggle to get it to turn over 1 or 2 times. I've replaced the key cylinder and it hasn't made a change in the problem. It's probably a loose circuit somewhere but I've gone ahead and replaced this vehicle. Overall it's been solid and dependable. But not exciting. At all.

Great Car! If you want a solid car with the build quality of a Honda or Toyota without the sticker shock, this is it. Wife drives an 04 Santa Fe. She loves it, and it has performed wonderfully. Looked at a Sonata then, but the engines were just not that great. With the new/efficient engine and clean lines, Hyundai has a winner in the 06 Sonata. Anyone looking at an Accord or Camry would be well advised to drive a 2006 Sonata. Comparably equipped, it's no contest! Sonata even looks better.
