I just purchased the car last week. When the dealer gave me the car it was suppose to be full tank and the digital gas indicator showed about little above 3/4 full. So salesman and I drove down to the nearest gas station to fill it up to full tank as that was the dealer's policy. But, when the salesman tried to make it full tank the pump would turn off, even though gas gauge showed it was not. We thought it might have been the pump at the gas station. But, after purchasing the vehicle and filling it up at another gas station, I came across the same problem, the pump would shut off even though it was not full tank. I did some searches online and it seems this is an issues, see link: http://www.hyundai-forums.com/lf-2015-sonata-i45/306826-gas-gauge-calibration-2015-sonata-ltd.html Other than this issue, the vehicle as been good.

For the first few months, I was happy with my purchase...then I started noticing little things that made me wonder if I made the right decision. One of my early concerns happened on the first rainy day that I needed to get something out of the trunk. The design of the area around the trunk channels the water INTO the trunk when it's opened...think wet bags of groceries. The more I used the car, the more I realized that some things were just dumb. I'd start the car and back up, only to see that the backup camera cuts out after 5 seconds as the entertainment system boots up....the black screen lasts about 10 seconds. Occasionally I won't be able to use the entertainment or navigation systems at all for about 2 minutes as it goes through its initialization. Ever leave the radio volume turned up when you turn off the car? Now, imagine not being able to turn it down the next morning until the system is good and ready to let you do that. The safety system is questionable...is that a hill ahead? Better sound the collision warning! I've been pulled over by a State Trooper because the auto-high beams turned on as our cars passed each other. (I don't use that feature any more.) The Blue Link system is spotty at best. The remote start seems to work fine during nice weather, but it fails about 50% of the time in the winter, when I really need it. (This is NOT an exaggeration...I have the "Remote start is not available at this time." emails to prove that.) The Blue Link features a great car locator, just the thing I want to be able to check that my daughter made it to the mall or to a friend's house. However, it works only on the Mobile app...not from a browser...and, get this, the car has to be within a mile of your phone! Useless, useless, useless. I've had to take it to the dealer a couple of times because the front rotors became warped and one of the brakes units failed....both when the car has had less than 18000 miles. Every day I detect a new rattle....in the door, behind the dash board, in the back seat. I plan to get a new car in a couple of years and you can be sure that it won't be a Hyundai.

UPDATE: At around, 23000 miles, my transmission started acting up, it seemed like it was having difficulty shifting from 3rd to 4th gear and vice versa. Shortly, my check engine light came on as well. I took it to the dealer where they had to replace intake manifold and VCM (Variable Cam or something). Not impressed with Hyundai anymore if it gives me problem at only 23k miles, and yes I have always kept it maintained. Like many others here, I rented a bunch of cars before finally buying this Sonata, believe me it's worth it. I rented a Camry, Altima and finally a Sonata, I was in a huge dilemma about buying a Nissan Altima or a Hyundai Sonata until the Nissan dealership in Lake Norman started playing tricks on me, and after 2 months of research and rental experiences, I finally decided to for a Venetian Red 2015 Sonata SE. I wanted a base model with alloy wheels and Bluetooth without having to pay for them, and guess what, the LED lights and the spoiler just came in as an added bonus for Sonata, this is the beauty of Hyundai along with its amazing 100,000 miles warranty that you do not have to pay extra for a ridiculous package in order to get basic stuff such as alloy wheel etc, like in the cases of Toyota, Honda and Nissan. Alright, let me be honest and tell you a few things that I dislike about this car: - Gas Mileage (Hyundai claims it gives you 25 mpg in the city, which is not true, I get not more than 23 mpg in the city for sure) - Traction Control (The traction cannot handle the acceleration and the wheels would start spinning, even on the dry roads, not sure what to blame) - USB port - The built in USB port does not support android, at least not in my case, therefore I have to rely on Bluetooth or AUX) - Dull Alloy Wheels - The dullness of alloy wheels for the SE trim does not compliment the car over all, but eh, I can't complain much as it is a BASE model Now, the things I absolutely love about this car: - Great Turn Radius - Beautiful LED lights (even with base model) - Highway mileage (35 mpg even driving at 75 miles an hour, you might get better than 37 mpg if you drive at 55 miles an hour) - Spacious trunk - Great leg room for rear seats - Just enough power to accelerate quickly and merge on to the highways/freeways - Amazing Brakes - Sports, ECO and Normal Mode (For those who do not know, once switched to SPORTS mode, the car's steering becomes stiff as well as the engine along with the help of transmission helps you accelerate the car faster, you actually feel like driving a sports car. Normal mode for regular driving I guess) - Eye Catching Front - I love the way it looks in the front, not a big fan of how they have changed the rear - Warranty - 36,000 for Radio, Media and speakers. 60,000, bumper to bumper and 100,000 for Engine and Transmission. I do not think any other automobile manufacturer can beat that. Punch Line: An absolutely wonderful package for those who would like to fall in love with their new ride.

Purchased 2 weeks ago. Bought in Florida and drove back to Missouri. Overall this is a fine car for the money after rebates and discounts. I like cooled leather seats so I bought this instead of Toyota, Honda, etc. It's put together very well, drives great, and is super quiet. The engine sounds a bit strange but at higher speed it is unnoticeable. Car is plenty fast... much better than 2.4l. Gas mileage is ok but should be better - 28mpg on 1000k mile trip home at 75-80 mph. In town it hovers around 24-26 mpg. Overall for all the features it is a good value. Best Nav in the business. Seats are a bit hard but with good support, so be sure to check it out before you buy.
Still think it's a good value

I have had the car for four years now , it has 87k miles on it and still runs like new. I have had no major mechanical issues. I have had to put new tires on it. It has been a real good car.
