Beautiful Car, but.......
jandogg55, Las Vegas, NV, 08/19/2013
2013 Hyundai Sonata GLS PZEV 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 6A)
I love the car. I work with Dealers from All over the world. ( I do NOT work for a Hyundai Dealership) but I do work with dealerships from every vehicle type on the road. The only draw back is the passenger seat sits low. They need to put an adjustment control on the seat just like the driver seat. I'm 5'8" & driving so I didn't notice it until my sister who is only 5'1" said I can't see … out the front window, so I gave her a pillow to sit on. My Father is 6'3" & he sat in the back seat with no problem at all. He said he had enough room to stretch out his Long Legs.

2013 Hyundai Sonata GLS PZEV 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 6A)
I bought this car with the popular package which was pretty good with heated front seats, power drivers seat and alloy wheels. (Can't stand hubcaps). I also got the power rear view mirror. Overall, I am satisfied. The one issue I have is that the steering is electronic power and does not have the center detente. Wherever you point it, it goes. So it does not center itself when you let go … of the wheel. This is OK when I don't think about it, but has a disconcerting affect if I do. However, for the money, this is a great car. I frequently rent cars for my job, and the Hyundai Sonata has always been a favorite. If you iphone, you will like the options. I prefer playing through bluetooth.
Beware of 2013 Sonata remote starter kit defect
mdh2, Livingston, NJ, 08/23/2012
2013 Hyundai Sonata GLS PZEV 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 6A)
Bought my car in May.
Everything is excellent with the car EXCEPT OEM remote starter kit had major defect if installed in the 2013 Sonata.
Purchased kit during sale.
Needed to wait 4-6 weeks before 2013 kits were available.
When it was available, Hyundai dealership installed it but it failed (i.e., would actually turn engine off).
Dealership informed me wiring instructions were wrong … from Hyundai.
Dealership kept car for 2 weeks and couldn't figure out problem.
Regional technician came in and also couldn't figure it out either.
Dealership removed unit and returned car back to factory default.
Finally got my money back.
More then you expect and pay for.

2013 Hyundai Sonata GLS PZEV 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 6A)
Owned gls with pop package for six months now.
Fantastic car in this segment.
Perfect performance everytime.
Remote start installed and have had 0 problems.
No adjustments, no glitches.
Tire noise on rough roads gets a bit noisy, but mainly due to low resistance tires enhancing road noise.
Smooth road....like butta!
Suspension smooth and controlled, but not floaty.
No rattles, squeeks, … noises..(except loose objects in top of console will rattle.). Placed liner in and rattling stopped. Many dress up options on ebay, including chrome wheel skins for only 69.00 set of four.
Car looks expensive, but doesn't give buyers remorse.
Tons of room, seats comfortable.
