I only have the Sonata since October and I am very pleased with the interior of the car. However, the gas mileage is significantly lower (18 mpg) than what I was led to believe by the sticker (26 mpg). I feel like I was duped by the posted info. This car will never average 26 mpg.

I bought my sonata new in 5 of 09 and from the very begining had very poor gas mileage and a shifting issue with the trans at about 38 to 40 mph and around 15 to 18 on the rpm gauge when I brought it back to the dealer for service I was told it was how the car was supposed to drive and that there was nothing they could do to fix the problem except to flash the computer and then reset it . I was also told that it was the way that I was driving the car. now that I had the computer reset and the trans flashed I now get 15.9 miles per gallon to a full take of gas and was told that it was because of the winter gas that is now out on the market well to that I say B S
Not as great as expected

Car looks like quality but after driving it a few months can see that I may have overpaid for what I got, Rides stiff (could be the SE model), tires had flat spots, some surprises and some disappointments--lots of storage spaces, vinyl inside doors, dash, seats scratch too easy, good head & leg room, Worst feature is the way all 4 doors unlock when car put into park (I got nervous at a gas station on a recent trip, I was getting my credit card out of my purse before exiting my car and realized some questionable guys nearby were "checking me out" and I wasn't safe with my back doors unlocked--gotta always remember to immediately re-lock the car when parking so no one jumps into backseat or side.
I Wish I Never Bought the Car

I purchased a 2009 Sonata Limited its looks great. But that is all. I have made 6 payments and it has been towed 4 times. The first 3 times because it didn't start. The last time transmission problems. Run from this car spend a little more and get a better car. Stick with the bigger boys. There's a reason why they give you a 10 year warranty not because its a great car because you are always taking it to the service shop. Be careful with your money....Run
