I bought a new 2013 Sonata due mostly to its price and warranty. I've only had the car for a few weeks and I am still forming an opinion about it.

Sonata delivers
The '13 Sonata rang in nearly $2,000 below similar Camry and Accord offerings and after 4,000 miles it's a solid thumbs up. Interior materials are upscale with soft-touch surfaces where expected. Although windows are short, the cockpit seems airy enough and visibility remains good fore and aft. Controls are simple, well-placed, easy to operate, legible and have good tactile feel. Most guages are fine, however the speedo shows numerals only in 20 mph increments and the infotainment display is disconcertingly hard to read day and night with fuzzy images on a dim blue background...simliar to a thermostat. All seats are comfortable, and there is plenty of room in back with a spacious trunk.
2013 GLS w/ pop package
Bought new about a week ago. So far, the biggest disappointment is the sound from the stereo. CD's, Radio, Sirius all sound less thanb acceptable. There is a general muddyness that is going to result in having to invest in an aftermarket stereo. Other negative is the "ride" is somewhat bumpier than I am used to with my '09 Accord and '06 Camry. You really feel every bump. Hoping that "breaking in the suspension and tires will help for Positives are: layout of dials, controls. Nice the parking brake lever is not in center of console. The car performs well on turns, pick-up if fantastic (I do not use the "eco" mode). And the car is very sporty looking (I got it in black with spoiler)
Bang for your Buck
I've only had the car about two months, so this review may change. But so far I've been very happy with my 2013 Sonata. Got used with just under 65000 miles on it, still drives great. No major repairs on the CarFax, and nothing bothering me so far. Others have mentioned the steering--I don't have that problem. Granted, my car has a cushy life--I drive about 4,000 miles a year, almost all city. This car is great for a commuting car, very spacious and easy to clean. My one problem with my car is the driver's side door doesn't stay open AT ALL when I'm parked on a slope. Even on the barest hint of a hill and the door tries to close on me. That's more a wear-and-tear thing, than a design flaw, I think.
