Used 2011 Hyundai Sonata Consumer Reviews
Great job but needs better packaging
This car is a head above it's competition and has now set the bench mark. I am disappointed that the 6 speed manual is designated to the low bucks crowd. No reason for not being able to get a power sunroof and alloy wheels as a factory option on the GLS or make the 6 speed available on the SE. Other than this packaging issue Hyundai has done a great job with this car.
Excellent Car
My family and I loved this car so much. My mother bought a fully loaded "limited" and my brother and I bought a fully loaded "se". We even bought an extra 2011 gls. Are we crazy. "yes". Crazy about this car. It has the looks, fun to drive and all the goodies that put it's competition to shame. Go test drive each one. All (3) have a little difference in the way they drive. Also. In regards to the recent review about a "failed transmission". Hyundai's warranty's would fix his transmission issue or give him a new car. Because he didn't mention this. Makes me Wonder if it is a "bogus" review.
Just Awesome!
This is my 3rd car overall and 1st new car just coming out of college. And I am impressed. I am 6'8" and am quite comfortable in this vehicle. The leg room is not quite as much as my 2004 Impala but it is definitely very good for a sedan. So, you tall guys out there have nothing to worry about. Also, the interior design looks great! The 2010 Sonata had a nice interior design and they blew that away here with a sleek and luxurious looking design. The XM radio and Aux cable is great I can charge my Zune and run everything through USB and that is nice. The XM radio is good for sports radio but ah. The exterior speaks for itself. The looks I get and the compliments go get one!
My Other Car is a Lexus
I've had a Lexus RX SUV for about 4 years now. Even though a new RX is priced almost $20k higher than the 2011 Sonata Limited that I now own as well, I find myself making apples-to-apples comparisons between the two on a daily basis. Strange as it may seem, the comparisons come out even more often than not. The fit and finish of the Sonata is comparable to the Lexus in nearly every way, with the possible exception being that the leather seating on the Lexus is a little more supple. I'm sort of a tech junkie, and the Sonata's nav system with its upgraded speakers and backup camera really hooked me. The system's integration really makes driving a lot more safe in today's times.
Trouble free with bells and whistles
My wife loves this car but we have too many. Fully loaded and dealer serviced since new. We liked it so much we purchased another one (hybrid).
