I've owned my 2015 Sonata for almost 6 month's. I actually purchased a 2014 Sonata and when I took it in for the first scheduled maintenance I decided to take a look at the 2015. Long story short I drove out with one! Hyundai made numerous changes from the previous years and every one of them is an improvement. They turned a nice looking car into an absolute beauty! The 2015 has more interior room and drives like a dream. The interior was completely redesigned and simply looks awesome. I already have 17,000 miles on it and have not had any problems whatsoever. I am 6' 1" and even after a 400+ mile day have absolutely no lower back pain at all.

Before purchasing the Sonata I completed much research and drives on cars to include: MB C300, BMW 328i, Ford Fusion Titanium, Volvo S60, & Toyota Avalon. Having driven mostly European cars for the past 30 years I wanted to try something different. Areas considered; reliability, technology, warranty & fun to drive. After 8000 miles; 0 problems, no squeaks or rattles. MPG so far: City/22.5, Highway/32.5, combined/28. The Lotus engineers working on the Genesis suspension must have helped with the Sonata, doesn't drive like a FWD. The difference between this near luxury car and the luxury (premium brands) is the extra $10K to $15K U would have to pay. Makes absolutely no economic sense.

Love this car. Smooth, quiet, tons of room, great gas mileage, not one problem with anything. Package with back up camera, XM, power driver's seat, automatic headlights and the homelink auto dimming mirror made the base model a great commuter and road trip car. With very little effort I can get 40+ mpg on the highway and for a car this size that's amazing. The only thing I don't like is the buzz of GDI engine when it's cold and no spare tire included (I bought one with the jack for $200). $21,500 out the door with 0% financing made it the perfect new car. Update at 30K still runs and drives great and fuel efficiency, especially on the highway, is outstanding. The initial cost was lower and unfortunately the depreciation has been greater than I would like. Just passed 36K no problems other than a little oil usage - I'll monitor. Update - just turned 53K miles. Drivers side mirror stopped working but repaired under warranty. Still using a little oil but remains trouble free. Original Kumho TA31 tires still have 6/32 tread left but at 60K replacing with the same new, only $75 each at Discount Tire. 8/1/20 5.5 years old, paid off 6 months ago - 74,000 miles and absolutely no issues. Best car I've ever had and I've had alot. 81,000 miles and still runs like a top with absolutely no issues. 8/4/21 - about to hit 90K no issues other than the paint flaking off the roof and hood. Understand this is an issue with the white 3 part translucent paint as it seems to be with all manufacturers. Plan on driving it till the wheels fall off paint or no paint. Mechanically perfect. 100,000 miles of trouble free comfortable miles - best car I've ever owned and I've had a bunch including Toyota and Honda. Hope it goes another 100,000 Update: Turned 110,000 miles, still trouble free, even the 7.5 year old battery! My only issue is the white pearl paint that started to flake off in places. Many cars have this issue and it's pretty aggravating. 9.5 years old 154,000 miles - did the belts, spark plugs coolant, trans fluid and leaking valve cover gasket. Ready for another 100K. Had the car repainted because of the bad pearl white paint that has afflicted most Kia and Hyundai products more than a few years old. Hope a class action suit will help me get some of that $$ back. Switched from 5w20 to 5w30 high mileage and Wix Filter several oil changes ago and doesn't use a drop of oil between changes now (5Kmiles) Driving it until it dies or I do - which ever comes first! One of the CV joint boots is leaking but not split - got an injection needle for the grease gun and refilled it. Got Maaco to repaint it last year for less than $1000 because the white pearl was coming off in chunks. Looks pretty good from 10 feet. still runs and drives great.

One week rental with a Sonata SE

We have a car in the shop, so I've been driving this for a week. I like it - maybe not enough to buy one in this configuration, but I do like the car very much. It's very quiet. It seems to be getting better than 25mpg in reasonably spirited driving. For a 180ish HP engine, I have not felt like there was not enough power at any time - even in the Eco mode of the transmission, which has three modes plus fully manual shifting (1 - 6th gear). The Bluetooth works well from the limited use it has gotten - it will read my text messages on my Windows 8.1 device - this is a HUGE plus for me. I am sorry that the XM trial has expired, I would've liked to judge the quality of the reception. Overall the radio is just OK - kind of 'tinny' and the radio display shows you the radio station (105.1 for example) and nothing else. Maybe XM provides more info, I couldn't test it... It seems really big inside, and it is very comfortable. I've been a fan of the trip computer with two trip odometers, and all of the user-settable configurations for the lights, sounds, language, etc. Tire pressure info for all four tires is handy to have. I really appreciate the auto-off headlights, even in the lowest trim and I've just turned them on and forgot about them - the gauges are still perfectly legible with the headlights on all the time. I appreciated the holder for sunglasses, even in this base car. The Air Conditioning seems to be super effective too. If you unlock the car with the remote, and don't open a door within 90 seconds or so, the doors lock again - I like that. Big trunk, lots of space. The back seats fold down too, but I haven't played with those at all. The rear doors open way up - great for access, and potentially an easy in/out for a kid in a car seat, but I didn't install one while I had it. What didn't I like? The looks are a bit too angular for me, I liked the way the previous model looked. The radio was marginal. The base sedan must have cheap tires, because this rental with only 21K on the clock already had mis-matched tires on it. No compass in this model, that's a bummer. I would really like fully automatic headlights, but that was not a reality in this model. Overall, I think that this is an honest competitor for the Camry's, Altima's and Accord's of the world. I'm glad that I rented one for a week, and if this is seriously on your shopping list, I think that maybe you'd be wise to do the same, and see if you like it as much as I did.

Leased a new Sonata after owning a 2007 and wanting something with more pizaz. Looked at/drove the Mazda 6, Mazda 3, Genesis, Sonata, and Ford Taurus. Mazda 6 was pretty peppy for a heavier 4-cylinder sedan but I didn't think it quite had the rep everyone built it up to have in other reviews. The 3 is an amazing little car and handled like a dream but in the end we decided we wanted something larger. The Genesis was hands down the best thing we touched all day with the AWD package on it. Even with the 3.8 it had some MAJOR giddiup to it. The Sonata balanced out the 3 and Genesis offering both decent handling quality and acceleration. We then drove the Taurus to essentially rule it out.
