If you're looking for a car to get you from point A to point B that's reliable, cheap to own and decent looking, you've found the right car. If you're looking for handling, performance or fun, go somewhere else. Safe, reliable and cheap! Over 250,000km's and still going strong. No rust, heck, the car still looks new. It's never even been rustproofed and I live in Canada.

I've only had this car 13 months and already put 31,000 miles on it. Except for oil changes the car has never been in for service. Had a 2002 Sonata that I put 97,000 miles on. No troubles with it either. This time I got the 4 cylinder and I have no problems breaking the speed limit. Gas mileage is better then my V-6 2002 too! Lots of room and a comfortable ride. Huge trunk.
Good value for the money

For a $16,266.62 OTD price, no-one could come even near this car. Just got 7500 miles on it. Excellent ride. Great MPG for the size of the car. Average 27MPG, worst 23MPG-city (driven by my wife :) ), BEST - 30MPG-freeway (average 65MPH). Just came home from a vacation. On 75MPH (average) had 28MPG. Big trunk, was able to fit all skies except mine + the luggage for family of 4. Mine skies ended up in between the seats. Roomy interior. Flimsy parking brake handle. Soft plastic on the back, bent under pressure. Kick-down very slow, there is some delay. NON fold-a-side rear view mirrors. Driver seat not so supportive. Doesn't have an opening on the rear seats for placing skies in the trunk.
Very reliable, annoying however...

Put 100,000 miles on it. Haven't had ANY mechanical problems, even after not changing the oil for up to 8-9000 miles at a time. Performed regular maintenance (brake pads, oil, filters, etc) and has never broke down once. The center console is terrible!!!! Too much to list here about it, but for instance.. The cup holders... well is really just one big cup holder, and if you have only one drink in there, it will definitely slide and spill into the gear selector. It is now hard to shift gears from the amount of times this has happened. Grey interior is now brown from dirt, even though I keep it clean. Headlights are impossible to replace by yourself without daylight and lots of patience.
Do not waste your money

Yesterday (December 12, 2017), I was driving home from being at a store. I was on I-40. All of the sudden, I lose power, my speed is decreasing, steering locks up and I am very lucky that I was not killed. I was able to make it into Star buck parking lot. The car will not start. The steering wheel will not move. I call a tow truck to come tow the car to a mechanic. The mechanic calls me to tell me that I have what they call a rod knock. Comes to find out that there are more then 1,500 complaints about how the engines seize for no reason on these cars and the manufacturer has not bothered to issue a safety recall. Now I am out of a car and I am the one that has to come up with 4,000 to fix there foul up that they have known about and have failed to address. Needless to say, I will not be paying to get this fixed and will be sending this car to the junk yard where it is belongs. Hyundai is screwing with peoples lives and almost got me killed. I do not appreciate this and I am sure other drivers on the highway would not appreciate to know that a Sontana can all of the sudden seize up without any damn warning. Its 2019 and I still say do not waste your money buying this car.
