What a car!!!

I have been in the auto industry for 30 years... from Toyota to Porsche.... This car is TOPS for the money. Fun to drive... Great fuel economy! (better than posted) From Dallas to Tucson on a tank and a half. Comfortable on long road trips! Don't wait for re-fuel to take a break.... TOO LONG! Hyundai's customer service has been exceptional. Buy gas and drive.... and after a year and a half I'm still ecstatic. I'm used to a new car every 4000 miles... so this one is GREAT! After reading some reviews, I think the ball was dropped on the Dealer end.

smooth, economical, and a great ride. Would buy again. Highly recommend. Bought from a dealer that was the easiest to deal with in 30 years of car buying. [non-permissible content removed]

I just drive my Hyundai sonata 2013 until it dies

I am extremely maintaining my 2013 sonata so that it would go beyond 300,000 kms like my previous cars, but on its 220,000 kms it starts to burn oil about 250ml for every 1000 kms. I went to the dealer asking if warranty still covers engine failure after 200,000 kms (their warranty extension coverage), they said "no more coverage". So, lets see, when this car engine dies. For info about my engine maintenance: 1) Use 5w30/10w30 synthetic 2) change oil between 4,000 kms to 5,000 kms 3) used genuine oil filter or Mann Filter W811/80. 4) change air filter 12,000 kms.

Navigation system is working but not dependable. Engine quit after 80,000 miles. Warranty replaced it as well as steering and transmission leakage. Other minor recall notices: taillight, glass roof, seatbelts, steering, transmission, etc. You can go to mapnsoft.com and do the navigation yourself for $169.....its cheaper to buy a hand held portable GPS system. Over all 13 recalls
