2011 Hyundai Sonata Limited 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 6A)

I did a lot of research before I committed to buying the 2011 Sonata. I had a 2004 Camry which was the best car. I test drove the 2011 Camry, and the Acura TSX; but after seeing the 2011 Sonata at the Auto Show, I just had to drive it also. I was unbelievably impressed with the Sonata Limited! It has all of the bells and whistles that the TSX and the Camry XLE have for thousands less. The 4 cyl engine is direct injection and is just as responsive as the TSX and the 6 cyl Camry. It puts out 200 hp, yet gets GREAT gas mileage. I recommend getting the nav system as it is the only available option for the Limited. It handles like a dream!

Okay, I love the looks, the power, the economy. The car rides smooth and quiet. I love the bluetooth radio I make my calls through the bluetooth it works fantastic "call friend, mobile, yes" thats all there is to it. I sound better through my car than my phone. My 32gb thumbdrive works, holds and plays music on the radio, who needs CDs anymore. I have learned to like the footbrake. And I like what is missing, no transmission dipstick, and no timing belt. This should add up to less maintenance. Oh did I mention 87 octane? My friends love the look of the car I opted for the plain wheels, I think at first glance the hubcaps look better than many wheels from other manufactures.

I purchased my 2011 Sonata SE in Aug 2010. I have been averaging about 34 mpg driving 130 miles daily. The car has met all my expectation. Smooth ride, spacious, responsive, and great standard equipment. I currently have over 14K miles and the car still seems new. The paint is exceptional and I really like the split leather seats. I was skeptical on purchasing a Hyundai, but so far, the value of this care is great. I really recommend this as a family or first car.
25,000 miles then expect to pay.

After 25,000 miles I brought my 2011 Sonata in for service as the engine light was on. At this time I was told I needed new front brakes and tires. I called Hyundai customer service on this and explained to them that I have leased cars for many years and have never had the brakes or tires needing replacement and that one of the reasons I lease every 3 years is so I don't have to deal with the high cost of these kind of repairs. I was told by Hyundai customer service that these repairs were necessary due to " normal wear and tear" my response to them was that I felt this was ridiculous, that if I drive my Sonata normal, after 25,000 miles expect to spend $600 to $700 for brakes and tires.
Sonata= let down

Bought used with 35,000 miles about 2 years ago. Within the first year, the thermostat had to be replaced (not covered under warranty). Now, the power door lock does not work on the passengers side and the drivers side window picks and chooses when it wants to work. 05 Honda Accord w 160k still starts easier on colder mornings. This car grinds terribly and takes too long to turn over for a car this new! Nothing but cheap Korean plastic and metal that is like tin foil! Looks good but looks are deceiving! Painted trim on steering wheel is peeling as well. Will be trading for a new Honda Civic or Accord very soon! Wheel well also busted after hitting very small object. Too flimsy!
