All in all, I'm 16 months and 16K miles in. This car makes me smile every time I drive it. Engine was a little coarse at first and transmission seemed a little balky at first (no biggies, though) but latest engine/transmission flash makes things smooth as buttah! My only regret is that I ddin't get one w/Nav but there are some after market kits coming available now.

Car rides very smooth and quiet. Pick up for a 4 cyl is excellent and cruises very nicely at high speed. The mileage per gallon is great. averaging about 25 around town and 33 on the road. Could do better on the road if I keep it around 65 mph.

Couldn't be happier with my decision

I have about 40,000 miles on my sonata and have not had one problem. Aside from replacing the brake pads, that's the only work it's had to have. It will be a sad day when I have to sell this car. I absolutely love how it drives. It is quiet, and everyone who drives it always remarks how great it handles and how fun it is to drive.

What's not to like: I scored build quality a 9, because I've owned Mercedes, BMW, MINI, many VWs and the quality is one notch less, barely. That said, I just sat in an '09 C- class and the Hyundai equals it. To get the most out of the 4 banger you must use your manual shift option-- especially in the mountains, but it makes it a must more involved driving experience.

I have owned the 2011 Hyundai Sonata GLS for about 1.5 years now. Since I commute to work and school every day, I have put about 45k miles on the car for less than two years. So far, never had any problems with the car. Only went to the dealership for regular oil changes. Nothing has fallen apart or had issues mechanically. Maintanance costs were very affordable and staffs were super friendly. Been getting approximately 25~28 mpg for city and up to 38mpg for highway. Car is comfortable, picks speed up at the freeway pretty well. Overall, I give my car a 5 star. Previously, I have owned Hondas, Mercedes, Toyotas and Volkswagens, but I would have to say, I am very happy with my Hyundai.
