Used 2007 Hyundai Sonata Limited 4dr Sedan (3.3L 6cyl 5A) Consumer Reviews
Great car with a great price
For the money, you just can't beat this car. Have had it for 2.5 months with close to 8K miles. V6, leather, Infinity Sound, Power Roof, etc all for under $21K. Honda and Toyota couldn't touch this with a 10' pole! The ride, accelleration and ergonomics are great. I am imprssed with the fit and finish of the car as well. Would do it all over again!
good for first car out of college
I bought this car when it was 2 years old. It had 30,000 miles on it. when I use standard leather cleaner on it the brown comes off the leather. The paint job could be better. It rusts easily. I have had a stop lamp switch replaced twice on it. Both sun visor have busted and needed to be replaced. at 116,000 miles the crank shaft busted into 2 parts and needed to be replaced. This car goes through tires very quickly. The way the tires sit on the car makes them wear down. Overall not the best car to buy. I think this company makes low quality cars. I will try to go with a Ford or Toyota next time.

Good but has its flaws
I have way too many good things to say about this car that it won't fit here, so I will only discuss the bad things. #1: the ride is on the harsh side. Wheels are 215/55/17, which do not belong on a family sedan. Need to bring them up to 60 series. #2: I have yet to find a perfectly comfortable seating position. Maybe it's because my previous car had bucket seats and wasn't leather, but who knows. Oh, and the lumbar support is a joke. #3: CVT. I may get used to it over time, but right now I'm not a big fan of it. Look it up on wikipedia.com if you don't know what it is. Other gripes I have are in the Suggested Improvements sections. Don't get me wrong, it really is a great car!
Very Fast, Quiet Engine, Smooth Ride
This car rides very good, very fast too, got a lot of power. I had a hard time adjusting my foot on the pedal, because it moves very fast. Other than that, the A/C is so powerful, big trunk space and lots of features. But it's really a good ride.
Improving, but needs more
While I only have 1400 miles on my '07 leather limited V6, overall it is a nice car on par with Camry & Accord but choose it because of better features for the buck than either. Minor, but nice styling changes since 06. A personal choice: I had them change out the 17" wheels for 16's for better ride with taller sidewalls since this is not a Corvette I plan to be pulling 6G corners with. The engine design is old school and the fuel mileage shows it. Hyundai needs to follow Honda's edge here in engine tech. Also, Hyundai needs to get into the hybrid market with a peppy Sonata hybrid in the 30-40 mpg range.
