After owning Camarys in the past looked at the Sonata because of price and consumer rating. Overall the car is OK. Smooth braking to a complete stop is impossible. Transmission seems to jump out of gear at times.
Still great after 1 1/2 years...

I read the posts of others who are unhappy, and I just want to say, that's not my experience at all. After 25,000+ miles, I am still delighted with my 2009 Sonata Limited 4 cyl. Absolutely no money spent other than normal maintenance, and the car continues to run like a champ. Have gotten up to 37 miles per gallon on non-hilly interstate traveling at 70 mph - it is a great highway cruiser with a quiet, smooth ride. Lots of room inside, and build quality is great. It is definitely not a sports car, but I didn't buy it with that expectation - I drive my wife's Legacy GT if I want kicks. Still like it better than my 3 previous Accords. Overall, I'm very happy - no buyer's remorse at all.

This is third Hyundai we have owned and it won't the last if we live long enough. Can't beat it for the price.
Very good car

This is our second Hyundai after having 2 prior Hondas. Our XG350 was a better travel car, but our V6 Sonata handles better due to a less soft suspension and has 50hp more. Love the GPS and Bluetooth, as well as the standard 350 watt Infiniti sound system. Our onboard mpg computer pegs in-town at 22mpg, and generally 31-32 mpg on a flat, straight highway like I- 20. 5 year bumper-to-bumper and 10 year mechanical warranties will probably go unused.
Major safety concern?

We have only owned the Sonata for 1 month. Although the test drive was fine, the the front passenger seat became very uncomfortable on a longer road trip. Also, I recently drove the car in the country after dark, and it seemed like a curtain descended half way down the windshield. I had to turn on the highbeams to be able to see if an animal was in the road, and even then, I couldn't see the sides at intersections. The problem isn't bad on lighted city streets except for not being able to see around the corner at intersections. The dealer said that the lights are normal -- but I didn't have this problem with the Nissan, Ford or Chevy cars that we drove over the past 25 years.
