Used 2009 Hyundai Sonata GLS PZEV 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5A) Consumer Reviews
Bumpy but good
Very good car, but very bumpy on hard and rough roads. Had to replace stabilizer bar after 3 days old relating to a bumpy feel on the road. Have been told that there is a problem with the strut mounts from an outside vendor and the dealership don't see the problem, but they have felt it. I'm awaiting to have company rep to see the car to let me know what they can do about this problem. Other then that a cool car.
Amazing for the Bucks!
I've had my 2009 Hyundai Sonata for about 2 1/2 months and I still love it! I was looking for a reliable, fuel- efficient, roomy, car with leather and I could not believe they sold me this car for $15,990....with leather seats? It's not the Limited model, but it had everything I realistically needed in a car...did I say leather? Best SURPRISE of all is that it's virtually MAINTENANCE-FREE(oil and air filter change only) in normal conditions for 60K miles. My Subaru needs something every 15-24K. Who cares about Honda and Toyota's reputation when I have 100k, 10 year PT warranty. It's one of those few things in life that is too good to be true....but it is!

We'll see how it goes from here
Bought it after reading a lot of reviews and test drives on Memorial weekend. I knew that many people are complaining about suspension noise and cracking noise from dashboard due to temperature fluctuation. But the price was unbeatable, I have option package 2 and I paid almost 6K less than Accord LX. I put only a few hundred miles, so far I no problems other than cracking noise coming from the dashboard when I turn on A/C.
My 7th New Hyundai
Much improved over 2006 model. I was planning on more power, but NY dealers only sell the PZEV version with 168 HP instead of the 175 advertised all over. Interior is great looking. Ride is very comfortable, yet more sporty feeling. 5 speed transmission should shift at more appropriate times - car feels out of breath going 45 mph under light acceleration when it shifts into 5th. Makes me want to shift manually. TPMS I'm sure will come in handy. I don't care for revised front, but back looks better. Mileage has been between 27 and 29 mpg per tank with 30%+ heavy city driving (will improve once I add K&N filter). There is no more key hole for trunk - must use remote or latch inside car.
Why Buy A Camry when you have Sonata?
I test drove a Camry, Accord, Nissan 2.5s and Mazda 6, then Sonata last. I am a Toyota guy, or should I say "was". The Sonata was about $4k less at the start, has better quality interior, more HP under the hood, is quieter, and handles better than the Camry. It is not quite as crisp as the other three, but it is a different drive. And it is so quiet inside, nicely designed. So, Toyota, I am now a Hyundai guy.
