Out of the blue decided to trade in my aging 1995 BMW 525i for the Sonata. While the '08 models sharp exterior styling initially caught my eye, the only 4 cylinder models in stock were '09s. The spacious updated interior truly feels classy and the 'fake' manual mode let's you play a little. Acceleration is lacking and gear changes clunky, yet justified by your last refueling receipt. Great gauges and wood trim throughout. Upholstery is bland but practical. Although innovative, integrated USB/AUX ports suffer from compatibility issues (ie. iPhone support). Overall, best value for the money, if you can live with a goofy 'H' on your grill.
Hard to beat the Hyundai!

I'm a 45 year old "conscientious consumer". I drove the Accord, Camry and the Sonata. They are all great cars. I'm convinced if they were to take the labels off the cars you could not tell the difference between them. I opted for the Sonata for two reasons; the warranty and the price. I paid $21,300 for the limited package with mud flaps, moonroof guard, rubber trunk liner and mesh trunk bag. You can't touch a loaded Accord or Camry for that price. Through 5 tanks of gas I've averaged 27, 27, 28, 27 and 27 MPG per tank. After 2,500 miles I'm very satisfied with my purchase and would challenge anyone purchasing a mid-sized sedan to drive the Sonata. It provides the best overall value.

Well, I have only had my Sonata 3 weeks. After trading in my 2002 Altima. I am very please with the design of the car in and out. I love the amenities. For the price I got my car for I could not pass it down. The car has a very soft ride which I had read about. But not too bad. Car engine seems much better in Shiftronic mode than in normal drive mode. Can't write much at the moment since the car is still pretty much brand new.
Outstanding Sedan

I have purchased 15 new Japanese cars since 1978 - Mazdas, Nissans and Mitsubishi. This is my first Korean car. I must say that I am very impressed with the Sonata compared with the many Japanese cars I have bought in the past. Fit and finish are excellent, mileage is amazing (24.5 in the city, 34.5 on the interstate at 80MPH with the air conditioning). Many more standard features than most other brands and far less expensive. Most comfortable sedan I have ever owned. The warranty is far better than any Japanese manufacturer's. After 3800 miles, I've had no problems whatsoever. Although I've only owned the car for 3 months, I highly recommend the Sonata.

Just took a 2500 mile vac trip and had good millage thru out. Total ave. was about 29 mpg. I was disappointed with the harsh suspension due to the narrow profile tires it has. You do feel every pot hole. The drivers seat should have more back travel for leg clearance to exit from the car. The arm rest could extend forward a little farther for comfort. The blue trip scan gauge is very hard to read when lights are not used during the day and it is real bright out side. Color should be either orange or green. Slight hesitation on acceleration is very annoying.
