i really like the cars spacious interior as well as the overall design. It seems to handle well and the miles per gallon is great! i also like the fact that it holds up to 17 gallons of gas. great for long road trips. in my opinion, i am glad i purchase the 2008 4 cylinder sonata.

This car is a fun to drive and very comfortable. It is a quite, soft ride with decent gas performance, although i wish it were better for a 4 cylinder (23-31) I'm averaging mid 20's since Nov '07. This exterior of this car is stylish with black and silver the best looking, imo. Interior is nice, but basic and thus economical. Dont forget all that free safety engineered into this car. I like the size of the car and the space. Tons of leg room and truck space. Comfy seats. Stellar 4 disc brakes, smooth ride on great tires, and nice handling. I dont like certain plastic interior parts, seat belts are awkwardly placed, cup holder doesnt hold cups well, key fob gets poor signal.

For many years I wouldn't consider purchasing a Hyundai because they were Korean with no reputation other than lacking style quality and absolutely no resale value. In the last couple years Hyundai was finding its way onto top 10 lists. The Sonata is a pleasure to drive, quiet, safe and very attractive.

I absolutely love this car. I owned a 2000 Hyundai Elantra until I literally killed it. I didn't like the look of the new Elantras so I looked at the Sonata. I LOVE it. It's safe, reliable, beautiful to look at... I can't say enough good things about this car. I put 4500 miles on it in 3 months. The XM is a lifesaver in traffic (I live in DC). I really can't explain how safe I feel in this car. The warranty is fabulous. We go on a lot of road trips and the new car hasn't let us down yet. It's roomy enough for me, my boyfriend, the cello and the great dane.

Overall I'm very impressed. Commuter car bought for just under $18K in Franklin, TN. 4 cylinder is okay but could use more power for this size of car. Only problem is with the Hankook tires. Car rides great and is ultra quite - quieter than our Acura TL. I've driven two 09 models as loaners and they are very loud. Hyundai must have taken out some of the insulation. I'm not too impressed with the mpg. If I really baby the car on the interstate I can get 28 mpg at 70 mph w/out AC. (I check mpg at the pump - computer is not accurate.) I average 25-26 per tank mostly highway but really have to stay under 70. Car driven 6K so far. I do recommend this car based on comfort, quite ride and price.
