Good Car

2011 Hyundai Sonata GLS 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 6M)
4 of 4 people found this review helpful
Use: commuter Load: 3 person totaling ~650 lb, avg 6 ft Distance: ~360 Miles per week Road: NY/NJ 80% highway Comfort: Good fit, lots of room, seats could be better but strangely I (driver) feel more comfortable now than when I first bought it. Passengers have not complained. Ergonomics: Excellent. I only do not like trunk/gas release buttons. They should be lit or redesigned. Performance: Must watch your speed, car cruises at 90+. I drive hard and no body roll, under/over steer, break fatigue or other common problems. Manual is great, 3rd gear could be stronger. Entertainment: remember this is stock. I like it if you do not blast it.
Best car I have ever owned

This car is amazing for the price. have owned many from Jeeps to Hondas to Audi. This Sonate is smooth, it's quiet and has great pickup. The interior is roomy and comfortable, the trunk is huge! Only concern is snow/ice - it is not as good as can be in those conditions.

After 40k and 3 years, she's still beautiful, but...

2011 Hyundai Sonata GLS 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 6A)
4 of 4 people found this review helpful
Design: The car is beautiful inside and out, and the paint is still shiny. The ergonomics are great. The materials are decent, but the seat is uncomfortable. MPG: In mixed driving, I average 24 MPG. On the highway, I get 35 MPG. Engine: For a four-cyl, it moves nicely, but man it is LOUD! Transmission: Smooth as silk. Handling: The worst part of the car. Its like there's a marshmallow holding the steering wheel to the wheels. So numb. The ride is jittery as well. Brakes are a-ok. Aging: The car feels much cheaper now compared to three years ago. The engine is loud after 1.5k RPMs. Several rattles have developed in the cabin.

I have had this car for about ten weeks and am pleased. This car is an excellent value. The GLS model comes with all the bells and whistles standard, including USB, Bluetooth (both phone and MP3/Pandora capability), steering wheel radio controls, manual-override 6-speed transmission, etc. And Hyundai Assurance and the 100k mile warranty. It is comfortable and smooth to drive. Well-built. My quibbles are in visibility - the B-pillar is chunky and the rear visibility is horrendous. I also quibble that you can't disable XM, forcing you to flip through all three stations on the wheel. If you want leather or a sunroof, go for a higher package but you can't beat the GLS for the money

I am amazed at the power of the 2.o engine. I have owned nothing but v-8 mustangs for the last twenty years with my last one being a 2000 gt. Once you are going, this car accelerates just as hard as my last mustang (and gets ten miles per gallon better mileage). Cornering is a little scary. I dont have much feel for the road in this car. It is quite responsive and agile for a car this size. Without diving it more it is just hard to tell where its limits are. Me and my kids love the heated front and rear seats. If the seats were any more comfortable they would probably be illegal for auto use. People would be falling asleep.
