Owned for 6 mos. - new lower mpg accurate (30 hwy, 20 cty, mixed avg 25- ish). Bought new over my other finalists (used '04 Acura TL or '06 Passat)...spent thousands less...wish I could have gotten XM w/o sunroof. I was attracted to mid size exterior with large car interior; at 6'2" 230 my middle age frame/girth fits very comfortably. I threaten to move my 11 yr old into its trunk when he misbehaves, it is g-i-a-n-t and hauls my rep samples easily. Std and safety features really a "wow" for the money...hope this current era for Hyundai will be like the Honda/Toyota mid 80's as far as earning reputation, long term reliability. Only failure 1st 6 mos. is driver seat recline electronic switch.

I've been in the automotive industry for over 25 years and the Hyundai has come a loooong way since its inception when i test drove this car i was totally impressed and bought my baby and i'm glad i did I'm a big guy and find it a little cramped on long drives which i do daily the winshield post kind of creates a blind spot the drivers seat could be repositioned needs more leg room the outside mirrors should also be collasable it has great back seat space and plenty of trunk space it drives incredibly well very smooth love the power of v-6 it seems to have some shifting issues not smooth all times the sound system is great love the heated seats the climate control system lacks some

Suspension is a noisy especially when hitting bumps. Allow car to "bottom out" struts too easily. Other than too much noise from suspension and noise coming in from an uninsulated trunk mat, the car drives beautifully. Passenger area of car is noisy and difficult to use "bluetooth" with cell phone, end up having to hold cell phone, unsafe move!!! Gas mileage not as good as I thought it would be especially on the highway (for its size and make of engine - V6).

After 20 years spent almost exclusively behind the wheels of Fords and other mainstream American autos, I hit my limit on providing endless vehicular life-support: it was time for something new. After a bit of research, I decided the Sonata best suited my limited budget and high annual miles. On paper/screen, it looked great..but would it meet expectations? In some ways, yes. This is a heck of a car for the price, with lots of features standard, and some nice additions in the plus package (like the auto-lights, trip computer, etc). But shockingly, my new 2007 4-cyl gets measurably worse fuel efficiency than my 1999 or 1993 6 cyl Tauruses. So much for that stereotype! economic

Our first Hyundai--bought it after reading great reviews in the press-- had rented one for two weeks of driving and became convinced we wanted one. Great value! Service at our dealership has been fabulous--and we had an oil change at a dealership while on travel--and again, great service. We've had lots of helpful follow-up from Roseville Hyundai--we even drive the hour to take it there for service.
Excellent Car!

I went out looking for a car and I had no idea what I would end up getting. I ended up driving a Elantra and the Sonata. The Elantra felt cheaper to me and with all the extras I went for the Sonata. I loved the way it drived and it was quiet and a nice ride. Excellent brakes and a nice interior. I got this car for a great price and it was well below the market price. I actually ended up getting this much lower than the invoice price. I love the car!!

I love his car. I feel like I got Toyata/Honda quality at .85% of the price. Tight, smooth ride. Great controls. I suspect that, like Toyata and Honda, Hyundai is heading upwards in price in the upcoming years. Buy now! The older HYundais, like the 2000 Sonata I also own, are.let's face it, pieces of expendable junk. I get the 2000 repaired and, two weeks later, some "check engine" light comes on and I'm in for another $500. But starting in 2006 Hyundai seriously Uped their game. Now this is a car I can live with. Remember how we thought Toyota was a piece of Japanese junk back in 1980? That's the path Hyundai is taking. Before 2006...junk. After that 90% Honda quality at 80% the

Before driving 2000 km . rear suspension began to rattles ,bang ,etc. Dealer said it was the high performance struts and the cold weather and all 2007's did the same thing.The banging is getting worse even over small bumps.They ordered new strut brackets;haven't arrived yet. Annoying squeak between windshield and dash. None of my other cars had this problem in our cold climate.Could never get the XM radio to work.
great car for the money

Being a retired senior I wanted a reliable, well built and comfortable sedan with decent gas mileage. Why spend thousands more for Accord or Camry when Hyundai offers more for less! Gas mileage is 23 mpg Urban driving and 32 hwy. Car looks good drives better and is very quiet inside. Couldn't be happier. Absolutely "0" problems in 9000 miles.

I owned an 18-yrs old Taurus that I'd had for the last ten years. I decided to by a new car since I wanted something with a warranty. Hyundai's warranty is included in the price and it's 5-yrs bumper to bumper, well almost..! I always had Fords or British Leyland cars. Before buying the Sonata I looked at the v6 versions of the Fusion, G6, Mazda-6 and the Altima. The last two were too expensive. When comparing the Fusion & G6 the Sonata out paced them in all areas. I got a great deal at the dealership who's knowledge of this product was excellent. I have done 13,500km without any issues. Those journeys from Calgary to Edmonton are less tiring now & more comfortable. Excellent car.
so far, so good!

I've had this car for almost a year, and over 18,000 miles later, no significant problems to report. For the money, it's been a good investment - secure handling, decent factory sound system, airbags everywhere, comfortable ride. Minor annoyances include a drivers side seat that "rocks", it never really feels like it's locked completely in place. The wheel covers are CHEAP and easily scraped all to pieces (or maybe I'm just abusive and used to alloys?). Gas mileage isn't as great as I'd hoped (mid-20s). Just this morning I heard a squeal under the hood - will be going to the dealer to have that checked. Lastly, the check seatbelt alarm could cause incurable insanity. Worth a 2nd look!

Bought it with 13,400, at 14,000 they replaced the front brake pads, because I heard a crunching noise when slowing down, they also replaced the rear trunk hindges.. Rear suspension is loud over bumps. My v6 knocks when cold and noise goes away when warm. Suspension is loud! Tires are junk 215 55 17- junk! My first and last Hyundai. Sorry I bought it.
Sonata is a hit!

I just bought this car after driving a Grand Am for 7 years. The Sonata drives so smooth and is so quiet I can hardly tell it's running. So far I love it and so does everyone who has ridden in it.

I have a 2007 Sonata and it isn't worth anything. I had to replace the breaks at 30,000 and the alarm would randomly go off so that was replaced. I replaced a censor b/c carbon was build up in the throttle body. The drive belt has been replaced. Both sun visors have been replaced. The gas tank needs to be replaced but will cost $1000 b/c it won't shut off automatically. The check engine light is on stating to replace the O2 censors. The driver seat squeaks and the middle compartment rattles but neither can be fixed, and the paint peals and chips really bad. Needless to say I am not impressed with Hyundai's.
Now this is what I'm talking about

My wife and I have a history with Hyundai. My wife currently has a 2003 Santa Fe and I have had a 2002 Santa Fe prior to getting this car. I say that because we think enough of the company and their product to continue buying from them. I am very happy with my car. I purchased a GLS auto with xm radio, moonroof and 17in. wheels instead of the 16 in. standard. I have read reviews that have stated the car has average pickup in highway traffic. Let me tell you that sometimes I have to ease up on the peddle, if you know what I mean, an have no problems getting in and out of traffic. I look forward to a continued great relationship with Hyundai!
Great value for latest safety features

I bought the 2007 Sonata at 0% APR. No interest, nothing beats that. I was looking for car with all the safety features. I don't care about horse powers or handling at high speeds. I care about going from point A to point B more safely than my old car. This car does and saves me a lot of buck. 260 hp is not going to get me to work/grocery any faster than 160 hp. So if you are looking to get a good car with good safety features and save a buck while at it, go with the sonata.

Although I haven't had any major mechanical problems with the car, I've just recently had to have the roof repainted at my own expense because the paint was flaking off. The paint warranty had expired at 36000 miles, but a car with only 48000 miles should NOT need to be re-painted. This is obviously a factory defect. Also, the car is VERY uncomfortable to drive. The seats don't provide good support, and even the steering wheel is uncomfortable. My rear brakes have squealed almost since day one, but just in reverse, so I haven't had them checked. But after reading the other reviews I see rear brakes are a common problem. I want to unload the car as soon as possible if I can get enough for it.

I certainly do not understand the expert car reviews. The Hyundai Sonata is sluggish: the auto tranny is sluggish and jerks in acceleration, interior is weak and has no personality, and the windshield cleaner devices are like 'eyes' looking back on me. Why did they put these ON TOP of the hood? Bad bad design. The only good thing I can say about it is that it is great on gas. I would really loathe driving it everyday. Thanks to Edmunds for rating something so well and now I am stuck with a car for 4 years that I do not enjoy. Do they build cars cheap so car reviewers can get kick backs?

I have 2007 Sonata 3.3L V6 Limited for two years already. I bought it new. It accelerates pretty well, but, car hesitates a little when it shifts from 1st to 2nd speed in auto mode. Avg MPG is 20-21 city, 23-24 HWY (with A/C on). Suspension needs to be stiffer to avoid leaning on corners and steering feels kind of numb at low-parking speeds (in comparison to 2007 Santa Fe, which is great). Seats (driver's one is 8 ways adjustable on Limited) are fine. At the same time, driver seat should be more comfortable for long trips and provide better lumbar support for a healthier posture (as on Santa Fe again). Trunk is spacious. Quality of front cup holders sucks, but it is fixed on 2009 model.

I have had my car for 2 years and have replaced the a/c in it 3 times now. It is currently in the shop for the third a/c. I bought the extended warranty and it is a joke! They want to do things the cheapest way possible and dont care if it fixes the car...hence 3 a/c's in 2 years! I love my car otherwise but hate these issues.

The car has 40k on it. The car has run flawless, but the gas mileage is only about 27, 28 on the highway. My 2002 accord would get 32mpg. Early on I was displeased with the dealer oil changes. The oil always looked dark gray after changes. I do it myself now, and it looks fine. My wife took the car in for a brake switch recall. She gets the normal hard sell on the dealer maintenance. Hyundais have very expensive 40k checks. $298-$598. The rear brakes are totally worn out at 40k. They said that was very good. I have never replaced rear pads with less than 80k. Tires needed replacing at 35k. I will not by another Hyundai. Cost to own is too expensive. I will stick with my Hondas.

This car has been to the shop once a week since I bought it. There is a squeak in the front wheel and they can't find the source. The visor broke, the power window broke, the manual shift broke, very poor quality. I will not own another Hyundai. I plan on trading this off as soon as the warranty is up.

This car has had problems from the very beginning. A week after we bought it, my husband and I left the car parked in the garage while went on our annual week-long vacation. When we returned, I got in the car first thing Monday morning to go to work and it wouldnt start at all. Completely dead. (We had not even made a single payment at this point and the odometer read 400 miles, most of which were accrued when the car was shipped up from South Carolina for us.) I called the dealership and the Sales Manager told me that someone else had called previously about the trunk popping open..
At 70000 miles it seemed to start having issues.

At 70000 miles it seemed to start having issues. Rough idling and hard shifting. Truthfully I r think it shouldbbeba recall issue because others have complained about it hard shifting as well. Not sure if it is a speed sensor in tje transmission or what.
