Used 2009 Hyundai Sonata Consumer Reviews
Great Car at It's Price Point
Test drove similar sized cars such as Nissan Altima, Ford Fusion and Toyota Camary....This car is a good value for the money and was about $2000 less than the 2010 Fusion which was my 2nd choice....The car lacks a few items like driver and passenger side arm rets..The rear seating could be better...The 2.4L engine delivers good response and the overall ride is very good for a car this size....
One Year review
I have now owned this vehicle for 1 year with 20k and it hasn't had so much as a hiccup. What originally sold me, apart from the price and warranty was the interior and trunk size, (large), and the level of comfort, usually only felt with leather upgraded interior. I love all the thoughtful little upgrades which are standard, such as the 3 nozzle window sprayer, the above visor lit vanities lights, and beautiful interior stack. I have been averaging 31 mpg on regular, and honestly, I hardly miss my G35(only off the ramps and when I feel a little crazy), or its 20 mpg with super. My wife now likes to take it whenever she can and everyone who rides with me is quite impressed.

2009 Sonata
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.
Great car
The 2009 limited model is one great car. Loads of standard equipment at a decent price. The interior is very upscale. We could not be happier with the vehicle. The ride and performance are very good and we are getting over 26mpg in mostly city driving.
Sold my first new car in 1953
Over 50 years in all phases of auto bus. Been new car dealer, new and used car manager, wholesaler and consultant to major car mfg. Have owned cars from 38 benz 4 dr conv to several Borgwards, hundreds of others. Wife had 08 Honda Civ with Navi. The civ was not for her. Traded it on 09 Sonata Limited "4" with Navi and BT. She had driven similiar Accords and Camrys. Man, I was happy when she drove the Sonata and said "this is the car for me". Just got back from Pa. (live in North Carolina) Stopped in Old Town Alexandria Va. to see my sis. On the road we got 34.1 mpg at 65 to 75 mph. Great ride. My wife doesn't care about body roll etc. Won't tell you the price. One of my all time best buys.
