I own a Santa Fe so i knew the quality that Hyundai offers for the money. The Sonata is an exceptional value compared to the Accord and Camry costing 6-7K more. The fit and finish rival that of Lexus. Despite reviews to the contrary, the car is actually fun to drive and quite peppy even with the 4cyl. The night display is phenomenal with the blue and white lights. The surprise bonus - high gas mileage. I actually got more than 35 miles per gallon on the highway but going little over 60 and keeping a steady foot.

We are a retired couple and researched for 6 months looking for a reasonably priced (under 20k), fuel economy, midsized car (we're not compact sized people). Test drove altima, accord, mazda 6, fusion, malibu, and camry. Got this car with electric driver seat, moonroof, floor mats and ipod outlet for 17k. We're averaging 27 mpg city, haven't driven more than 40 miles on hwy, but looking forward to long trips during retirement. Large trunk for our luggage, comfortable seating and cheap gas mileage makes it feasible for us to travel crosscountry and enjoy our retirement in a highly rated safety featured auto. No disappointments here. Also, long power train warranty, 100k from manufacturer

Love the smooth and powerful 4 cyl. Most impressed with the new interior design and quality. This vehicle matches toyota and honda in all respects for significantly less money.

Sonata - Best choice

I researched and shopped intensively trying to decide between Camry, Accord and Sonata. Ignoring price I found the Sonata to be the best of the three. When you factor in price it's a no brainer. I bought the Sonata GLS 4cyl two weeks ago and am 100% happy with my decision plus I walked away with an extra $5k to spend on other things.

If the badging were removed, it would be difficult to tell who built it. Hyundai has come a long way since the early Sonatas and have caught if not surpassed the great cars Honda and Toyota had been dominant in for so many years. We are extremely impressed with this build quality Hyundai has put into the Sonata for thousands less than the benchmarks.
