Used 2009 Hyundai Sonata GLS PZEV 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5A) Consumer Reviews
Great car, not just for the money
We purchased this car to replace my 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee. After doing a lot of research we decided on the Sonata. I couldn't be happier. The ride is smooth, but not floaty. The 2.4 has just enough power, and get's terrific mileage. Interior and Exterior design are awesome. This is one well built, well thought out 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.

Sonata Update
Have had this car going on 6 mos now. Have a little over 3000 mi. Have not had any problems to date. I was waiting to update my review until I had driven it in the snow. It did not disappoint me. The traction control & ESC seem to do just what they were designed to do. And the Shift Tronic feature is helpful, so you can use engine braking to slow the vehicle down on slippery roads. This car continues to impress me. Im averaging 32-33 mpg. If I get "Sporty" and use the Shift Tronic a lot. I'll drop down to 26-28 mpg. I honestly cant think of anything I don't like about it after 6 mos.
Great Car at a Great Price
Purchased one in Slate Blue in Nov 2008 after driving the Altima, Accord, and Camry. Recommend the Popular Equipment Package, as it is worth the extra money. 4-cyl power is more than adequate; achieved 38 MPG at 60 MPH on a freeway road trip. Received many compliments on the exterior color. Interior is quiet and stereo is great w/ USB feature and XM Radio. Highly recommend this car so far, as you get a lot of features for the price.
Import Quality Domestic Price
Since I drive a great deal I get another car every three years on high mile lease programs. I have leased, Honda, Toyota, Nissan, All GM, FOrd, Chrysler vehicle's. For at least 50,000 miles of hard driving in all conditions over the past 27 years. I personally will get ONLY hyundai's for the rest of my life unless the company changes a lot. Value in supreme, comfort is great, handling in snow is great, visibility is great. Very Solid car. Until a co-worker got me to look at the Hyundai It was never considered. I have had a Sonata SE V6 since 1/15/09. My wife even replaced our Lexus RX 350 with a Veracruze by Hyundai
