Blown away by the overall look and feel of this car which cost $19,700.00 My friend has a G35 and I still can't figure out why anyone would pay twice the price for more horse power and a nav system. Just a great overall value for a driver who is financially smart without a need to impress.

Very good value when compared to Nissan and Toyota, with/without the rebate, and excellent value vs. Accord with Hyundai rebate. The 2.4 has good power, but performance of the 5 speed automatic leaves a bit to be desired. Hyundai engineers failed in "coordinating" the transmission gearing and/or final drive and/or cruise control sensor. Climbing any incline over a couple of degrees at 60 mph or so will surely result in downshift from 5th to 4th (an increase of 900 rpm) when some downshifting is not at all necessary, or only a 5th gear "shift" to clutch/slippage (an increase of only 300-400 rpm) in 5th gear would be sufficient -- though still 'busy'. Otherwise, I'm glad to own one.

Probably should have bought the 4 cylinder for the extra gas mileage, the 6 cylinder is good with a heavy load (people, etc) but not necessary when just one. Have had trouble with "flat" tires...looks like the car sat too long on the lot and this is an '09..tires were changed by dealer off another '09 and still seems to be a rough ride. (Lotta weight was put on the rims too). Great visibility, turns in tight areas well. Interior vinyl (dash/doors) can scratch easily--several nicks are showing up from objects that touch vinyl...Getting lots of customer appreciation "touches" from dealer and Hyundai corp....a very professional group! Getting alot of "lookers" at car..

I own a 2005 Sonata w 105k miles on it, and was very pleased with the car as basic reliable transport. When I saw the 2009 Limited it was obvious that Hyundai had upgraded the car tremendously. Great looking, lots of pep, good stereo, good mileage. Hyundai has realy dropped the ball with the suspension. The car rides OK over very flat roads, on any uneven surfaces, THE CAR THUNDERS LIKE IT DOES NOT HAVE ANY SPRINGS OR SHOCKS... It was substantially louder than my 2005.. The interior looks great, but the interior materials crack and pop when the temperature changes, AC or Heat, it doesn't matter. I was extremely disappointed. Took a bath to sell it, bought used 07 Lexus which is a dream.
My wife loves this car!

My wife loves this car! I like it myself. It is sound, comfortable and even the 4cyl. engine has a decent amount of get up and go. Everything inside is at the drivers fingertips.
