My wife and I have been driving her Honda Accord since 1998, so when I bought my Sonata in March '08 used w/ 18k miles for just over $15k, I was holding my breath a little that I wasn't getting 'sucked in" to the hype. Four months and 4000 miles later, welllll???? Maybe a tad. This car has amazing power, great interior and exterior looks. Build quality doesn't come close to Honda, though. I guess it's true. You get what you pay for. The paint job is maybe the worst I've seen on any car..there's a big money saving area for Hyundai. Also, sheet metal is thin. I even have a little metal bubble on the drivers floorboard that "pops" when I push off to get out of the car. 20mpg city/30 pure hwy.
Great Value, Great Car

Great car, I have had this car for over 3 years now and have no problems, gas millage is good, spunky 4cyl is more then enough. This car is effortless to drive, I have another car choice of a much more expensive so called "drivers" car and I always choose the Sonata when I have long trips.
Great car!

I was not in the market for buying a new car, but just happened to stop by a Hyundai dealership while my old car was being worked on. I fell in love with the looks, the overall fit & finish, the list of std. features, & the performance of the car. I've had this car for a month now and it's fantastic. Still going thru break-in period, so gas mileage is not great. (But as others have commented, need a few more thousand miles). The engine is powerful, 5 speed auto is butter smooth, the car is very quiet on the road. If you don't want to be a "me too" with Camry & Accord, give this car a serious look. GM & Ford, you'd better get your act together quickly or else!!

Only have 800 miles on "her" but they have all been fun miles. Very impressed with the performance and handling. This is the first non-GM car I've owned..."why did I wait so long"

We have put 70,000 miles on this car in five years and our only expenses have been gas, oil changes and a new set of tires. It still has its original breaks. I drove it hard on a 1,500 mile interstate highway trip and averaged 33.1 mpg. When ethanol is added to the gas the mileage is not as good. I thought it was odd that a four cylinder car would have a 150 MPH speedometer. After I had the car three years a friend asked me how fast it would go. I was on a country road and when it reached 122 mph I backed off, so I don't know what it will really do. Also, this was with ethanol in the tank.
