Used 2006 Hyundai Sonata Consumer Reviews
Sucha deal!!!
Honestly, I've only had this car a few days but I truly love it. We got an LX in Golden Beige and it is beautiful. The engine is quiet and responsive. And the deal I got after having 2 dealers fight for my business made my decision even easier. I'm leasing it for 27months but with the warranty being offered by Hyundai, I'm seriously considering buying this car at lease end.
Hyundai I never seen before
This 235 horse Sonata is better than I expected. It is faster, smoother, and I guess bigger. The road handles great especially in the highway. At 70-80 mph, the road noise was exceptionally reduced. Compared to my old Accord, Sonata is much better in quality, price, warranty, features, power, room, comfort, almost every detail in Sonata beats Accord. It is too bad there is no manual for V6s. There is a shiftronic, but what's the difference with automatic if it shifts by itself in the redline? You have to test drive this amazing machine before you go anywhere else, you just might be in a surprise...
Looking forward to owning this for years
I previously owned a 2001 Elantra GLS, which I drove from 31k to 191k on the odometer. I bought this Sonata with 25k on the odo. Hopefully it can get me beyond 191k. I love the bigger engine, even though there is a little sacrifice with fuel economy. The car is put together very well and is a great car for highway driving. Granted, the suspension doesn't shield noise as well as the Accord, but given the price difference, it's hard to justify buying the Japanese brands. For the money, this car is difficult to beat.
2006 Hyundai Sonata LX 6 cyl
I have an 06 Sonata with the 6 cylinder. I have had one emission issue with the car at 70k miles (I had to pay for the repair). I purchased my first set of tires at 68 k miles and I just had the brakes inspected @ 74 k and front and rear are at 75% new. Besides the normal maintenance (bulbs, wiper blades), Ive had to repair under warranty the w/s wiper pump, and a couple of check engines until I had the gas cap thing down. I love this car, so I bought my fifth Hyundai and second Sonata today. The 06 car handles well, has great pick up and gives even more with the shift- tronic. Plenty of drivers leg room with easy cabin controls. Great braking and the ESC and multiple air bags a plus.
Smart Choice
If american car makers tried as hard as hyundai to win over buyers they wouldn't be in the mess they are in now.I have bought american cars for 25 years. Not anymore. Poor reliability and high cost to maintain finally forced me to look elsewhere. I did my research and found a winner in the sonata. Excellent value! Great warranty and quality workmanship. The car has a smooth and quiet ride, handles nicely and the V-6 with the shiftronic transmision makes it fun to drive. I don't think you can find a better car for the money.
