From Camry XLE to Hyundai Sonata Limited

Had been driving Toyota Camries for the last 20 years. The new 2012 Toyota Camry styling just did not do it for me. I liked the Sonata exterior styling much more. The car is good looking and fun to drive. Rides nice and looks great. The Nav option is very nice; only complaint being the special cord required for IPOD use. The 2.4 engine is ample in power; a concern I had since I was coming from the V6. Gas mileage at this point not great, but still in break in period. Given that the Hyundai comes with a very good warranty it is discouraging and concerning that the dealer pushes hard on the extended warranty for a sizable sum of money; makes you wonder about the service aspects.

Gas Mileage Off by 1/3, total misrepresentation

When I was shopping for a new car, I was only shopping because I was taking a new position, and mileage was a huge factor. Bottom line, Hyundai advertised 35 mpg on 2013 Sonata, driving like a granny with almost 100% highway miles, the best I ever got was 26 mpg, but usually 25 mpg or less. At almost 14,000 miles on it, I'm looking to trade it even though I have a wrap around 100,000 mile warranty with zero deductible. I cannot drive a car for 100,000 when I was flat out lied to about mileage, for which they've already settle one lawsuit, and they still do it.

Some good and compromised quality issues

I own a Hyundai Sonata 2013 Limited and have put 18 K miles on it. Hyundai Sonata is a solid car overall with a powerful engine, great design and several added features for a lower price. It also has very good safety ratings (which hopefully will not be tested while I am on the road). But to gain on these aspects, there are some compromises made by the company in making this car, which are pretty glaring and somewhat annoying.

NEVER AGAIN

in 2016, I purchased my beautiful Remington Red 2013 Huyndai Sonata with bluetooth, back up camera and a panaramic roof. Fell in love with the car instantly! In 2017 there was a recall on the engine and before I could get it to the dealership, the engine blew. It was replaced and handed back to me running great. So here we are again in 2019 and I received an email about the car engine needing a system update. Low and behold, before I was able to get the car back to the dealership, the car quit on me. I thought it was something minor and had to ahve it towed to the dealership. Called a few days later to see what the problem was and I was told it was the engine AGAIN. So currently i am waiting for the ,engine to be replaced for the second time in 3 years. UPDATE May 05,2020 I cannot stress the fact that this is the worse car I have ever purchased. My panoramic roof (which I’ve barely used) will open but it won’t shut unless it’s forced. The tail lights keep going out and I was told that these cars have wiring issues that cause this problem. My back up camera no longer works. The screen is blue. This car is only 7 years old. I can’t trade it in because I owe so much on it (my fault) IM JUST OVER IT!

Decent car, but engine seized up at 96k miles.

It was covered by warranty so not a huge deal, but odd that it would seize up at that mileage. Apparently it happens in certain year models, but not often enough to issue a recall?
