Used 2007 Hyundai Sonata GLS 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 4A) Consumer Reviews
Traded in Camry-Sonata compares
Have the Sonata for two months. I'm past the 1000 mile break in period. The car has a solid, sportier feel than my previous car- a Camry. On a recent 500 mile trip, the car's trip computer says we averaged 31.2 mpg. That's with two adults and luggage. This was interstate driving.
Slow off the line
I've only had the car a week and so far I like the car very much. My ONE concern is the car is very slow off the line.When you're at a light or stop sign and you first hit the gas, it takes a second or two before the car goes. This also happens between 1 gear and 2 gear.

Excellent car-Keep the good work Hyundai
The car rides very quietly, accelerates well merging into traffic. Flawless, unnoticeable speed shifts in automatic and incredibly smooth shifting from auto to manual. Car can be downshifted to 3rd gear in a mile+ small grade downhill and will keep 2000 rpm and 40 miles per hour without using the brakes. All the cars around me were riding the brakes. At the end of the hill, one forward push and the car goes back to 4rd gear without hesitation and a medial push of the transmission lever and is back to Auto mode. The trunk is deceiving when looked from ouside but open the trunk and 16 cubic feet of space are ready for any trip planned. The back seats are foldable and very comfortable.
You need your warranty if they honor it?
Bouncy ride and poor quality. Rear brake pads worn to rotors at 21,000 miles. Hyundai said rust caused this problem. I have never had a car with rear pads worn to rotors with 21,000 miles. I bought an extended bumper to bumper warranty for 10 years 100,000 miles, but hope I never have to use it because I'm sure they will find some excuse not to honor it.
Great Car
Time will tell. We've had this car for less than a month and the fuel economy is incredible!! We went 445 miles on one fill-up. Impressed with this vehicle.
