What A Vaule
Big car size. Comfortable Ride. Appealing Interior. Decent 4 cyclinder performance. Attractive Dash. Huge trunk. No matter how I worked the numbers I could not justify a Malibu, Accord, or Camry. At least it is assembled in America with 50% U.S. parts. Yes depreciation is tougher, but 60,000 bumper to bumper warranty and $3000 less all up front more than makes up for it since I drive cars to over 100,000.
My first foreign car and I love it
I purchase this Hyundai Sonata originally because of the high reviews for this make and model but after driving it it is such a comfortable ride in very very good in the snow I could not have made a better purchase are my SUV was stolen

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.
Good Commuter/Long Trip Car
Not one to buy on price by can't ignore the value of the Sonata. Mind you will lose it on resale so not quite the bargain it seems. Interior is best in class for me. Materials not quite as good as Accord but layout way better. Seats fairly comfortable, quiet ride. 249hp plenty for me - I don't understand the need for 270+ in a fwd family car. Fortunately seem to not have the suspension noise problem (and roads are horrible here right now) and tranny shifts OK. Chassis simply not as sophisticated and composed as Accord or Mazda6. Seems chassis itself is not stout enough and the flex leads to some unsteadiness at speed despite stiff suspension. So far so good - hope it lasts!
Great car value
This has been a great car and I will definitely buy another one
