So, the 2.4 engine is prone to blowing up, it was the subject of a class action suit. Hyundai replaced it, it took over a month and reimbursment from Hyundai for rental cars was horrible. So, please see if the engine has already been replaced. Those are the better ones.
Great car. Great Value

I have my Hyundai since November of 2011, other than normal maintenance I have had no Major problems at all. The reason I have enjoyed my vehicle so much is because I Purchased it Fully Equipped, plus I have averaged a little over 30 miles to the gallon the entire time.

I've only had my 2012 sonata for a few wks now, I purchased it used with 5k miles on it. For being used it isn't too bad, brakes are already bad, had to replace cabin air filter and the mpg they advertise is a lie, but its still better than my suv.The alternative starter in the middle console also don't work, so I'm taking it in next week for that. I also agree on Hyundai customer service, it's horrible, they don't care about their customers and they constantly lie. So with that said take your factory warranty and go elsewhere to get service done to it. Yes they will tell you you can't, but you can. I get mine serviced at A ford dealership where they listen and actually fix your car!
Bad MPG

bought mine about 2 months ago. MPG as advertised is not!! advertised 24/35 and on hwy i get 29 and in town I get 18. when I took to dealer ship to have looked at, service department told me that everyone he knows does get 29 hwy. the digital readout may say 34 but when you divide the miles driven by gallons put in, it doesn't match the readout. Anyone can make a computer readout say anything they want to. I would not buy this car again due only to the false advertisement on the sticker on the MPG. The fine fine fine print on sticker says the average person will get 28-39. Can you say WOW what a difference in range. And car has alot of road noise.
