Nice Car - Good Value

This one beats the heck out of my 2000 Camry..or any of my dozen or so GM, Ford or Chysler products from the last 30 years. It is comfortable, gets much better mileage than advertised, and drives better than the Edmunds people rate it. I took an emergency 90 degree turn at about 30 mph and the car didn't roll or leave the road.

You get lots more than what you pay for

I paid a bit more than 15,000 USD for this large sedan. No luxury car, granted, but it has all that you need: nine airbags, four automatic windows, AC, et cetera. The greatest two things are : (i) size: even with he front seat entirely back the people in the back have ample space; (ii) the engine: the "little" 2.4 is a real joy: because of the manual upshift, you can really beat most of the other traffic. In town, the car gets 20 mpg. But highway, I easily get better than 35 mpg. The fifth gear picks up very well and moves smoothly from low rpm to high rpm. I just did 1500 miles in three days and the seats give ample support as well. What a car. Why can't GM make such gems? Ed

Dealership was very aggressive in a good way....cost of this vehicle was considerably less than an EX Honda 08. WOW!

Very pleased so far. Family and I just finished 1800 mile road trip and averaged 31.1 mpg on the way there (A/C on low and cruise set at 73). Averaged 28.0 mpg on way back (A/C on low and averaging 82mph...I wanted to get home!) Traded in 2002 Infiniti I35 so I was accustomed to all the amenities; glad to see that Hyundai didn't disappoint. Got full KBB excellent private party value for trade, $2500 rebate (standard and military), $1000 off after haggling and a free spoiler thrown in. Gas mileage in town is lower than I'd like but that's to be expected with constant stop and go.

Everything and more

When I decided on a Sonata it was after many hours of research and test drives. I've had the Sonata for a couple of months now and have been more than happy. My gas mileage has been better than the EPA (about 26/34) and it has had plenty of power when I've needed it. I'm not going to win many races but it gets the job done in every day traffic. I'm 6'4", and 250lbs. and the Sonata has been plenty big and very comfortable to drive in the city and long trips (I've taken two). The interior is well designed and well laid out and the 2009 Sonata has a seat that's about and inch longer than the previous year, and that has made a massive difference in overall comfort.
