So Far, Very Happy
I purchased the car earlier this month (July, 2008) and I've been very happy with it. The dealership included a full tank of gas with it's delivery. I literally went 10 days in 3/4 of a tank of gas. That totaled about 375 miles. The tank is 16.9 gallons and dare I say one would get 500 miles on a single tank during highway driving. The Sonata is the first Hyundai I've owned since I bought a Scoupe in 1993 in Southern California. That car had the best paint job I've ever had in a car. I love the XM Radio in the Sonata. So far, it's all good.
First time Hyundai owner
I did a lot of research of cars in this price range, and size, and found the sonata to be the best car for the money by far. The interior cluster lighting is easy to read and the sound system is exceptional. The car has a smooth ride and spacious back seat compared to its competition. The warranty is also a plus, in addition to the excellent safety features that are standard. My wife and thoroughly enjoy driving our sonata and would recommend it to anyone. We have driven it over 2500 miles in the 2 months that we own it. Also the fuel economy is better that we thought, as we get about 26 mpg city and 32 hwy.

Best Bang for your Buck
I bough the limited with the navigation and I do not regret. Money well spent. I bought this vehicle for my wife. She wanted something to keep up with my car I have a tiburon with many extra performance parts. And let me tell you this car kept up with my much lighter tiburon all the way past 130 mph I was surprised. Navigation is easy to use. However the voice comes a little late when you are at the turn instead of before. That would be my only complain. Also wished they had change more of the body to distinguish from the 2008 other than the tail lights and headlights. But overall I'm satisfied and so is my wife she loves it. We drove the altima, g8 and the sonata came way on top.
First Hyundai - Great Choice
Traded in my 1991 Camry (203K miles) and compared Sonata 4 cyl with add on package vs 2008 Accord and 2009 Camry, to see why I should pay $2000-2800 more for a Camry or Honda. The Accord was not as quiet as the Sonata at 35- 45mph especially, had a slight blind spot in mirror, did not include alarm, had less trunk space, lacked split rear fold back seats (single), but did have superior steering. Camry did not have standard ESC, the clock was in a strange location on dash (look up!), and the body lines on car were bland. At 1900 miles, the Sonata drives well and very quiet, has enough pick up, mileage at 31-32 (mix highway/local), love the XM radio and ipod dock,great trunk /rear seat space
WOW!
I brought a beautiful new 1999 Cadillac DeVille, color Shale/ beige int. traded it for a new 2005 Chrysler 300 base. silver/grey boring plastic everywhere Int. rear wheel drive and found out too late, that the base models were lacking major safety feature's like anti- lock brakes etc. wanted out. I had a vision of my Caddy in a Sonata. Camel/butterscotch leather int. with wood grain, lacking nothing in options including Navagtion completely loaded! I was upside down in my Chrysler trade by $9,000 because of over mileage at 63,000. The nine thousand was incorporated in my new payments. The deal $32,000 after rebates. No regrets!!! WOW! this (Lexus) car is way under priced! GET ONE!
