Good features like lane alerts, adaptive cruise, cross traffic. Lots of power, especially in sport mode. I had some annoying issues. The driver seat panel with the seat controls broke several times. Needed brakes and spark plug replacement too early. Navigation system out of date when new. Could not get car play to work. Concern about long term reliability.

My first experience with a Hyundai. And over all,I have been impressed! I have the Sport model with Premium package. Coming from an Accord,I was a little skeptical. But I liked the styling and interior. Classy looking exterior. The interior,is very well laid out. Functional with easy to use controls. I love the digital odometer. The dual auto temp AC works great. The back up camera works very well,with a surprisingly clear picture. The radio and speakers are adequate.Quality look and feel to the materials. The leather Sport seats have cloth inserts,so you don't get burned in summer heat. I have a sensitive back,and with the side bolsters,and power adjustments,including lumbar,I am very comfortable. The car is very quiet. The engine is very smooth running. Transmission shifts are not felt. I do hear, a slight road coarness,from the performance tires. I have been surprised at how roomy the car is. It is EPA classified as a large car,with 122 cubic feet of interior space. That is the same as a Chrysler 300. Only without the bulky exterior. It has a big 16.3 cubic foot trunk. With a very large pass thru opening. Which comes in handy,when carrying a big item. And it has dual struts for the hood! A rarity in cars today.Only a few minor complaints. I am so far only getting 26 MPG in mixed driving,in the ECO mode. I am hoping that will improve,with a little more mileage.The cup holders,in the console,do not have a gripping device to hold the drink in place. And the cup holder in the doors,is only big enough for a slim bottle or can. They could have made the touch screen bigger than 5". I don't see why they did not include the data system in the radio. Overall for the money and long term warranty,you can't beat the 2015 Sonata. I have had the car for 4 years now,and nothing wrong! Really amazing!I only brought it in for oil changes and tire rotations! The dealer did a few computer updates. An update. The car needed a new fuel injection system part in may 2020. it was replaced under warranty.The 5 year new car warranty expired in july 2020. In october I brought the car to Hyundai, because of oil leaking from the seals. They had to replace the 2 engine gaskets. A big job. They covered it under the 10 year power train warranty.

Fantastic midsize sedan. Engine/Tran combo has power when you need it but still delivers great fuel economy. In mostly highway driving I can beat the rated 38. I've routinely hit 40 mpg. With city driving you have to really try to get your trip to fall below the city 28 mpg. Comfortable. Quiet. Can't speak to reliability yet but the power train warranty helps alleviate that concern somewhat.

Now year 7. 142,000 miles. Actually the car is doing well. In comparison to a American car or others the interior is in amazing condition! The only thing I currently have an issue with the the side mirror is floppy and sometimes the auto part doesn’t bring the mirror back to its spot. Car drives very well for high mileage. 4 years almost 1/6/2019 Well my engine seized up at 78k miles!!! Stranded me 80 miles from home. Well known issue with this engine!!! Now has been in the shop for a total of 10 weeks in less than 4 years. I believe Hyundai has spent almost 10k of warranty repairs!!! Both axles had to be replaced. Should of bought the Subaru!!! 3 years later I still love my car even though it almost got lemon lawed over sun roof noise. They replaced the entire roof assembly some time ago. For a year it was noise free. It came back though, but not nearly as bad. The collision alert is a joke! Goes off when nothing is in front of me sometimes. Still getting great gas mileage! 35 on highway and 24.5 in city. No new issues in quite some time. I now have over 70,000 miles. Well over a year has passed and 30000 miles later I still love the car! Nothing is perfect so let me tell you the not so great details. I have had 4 problems that needed repair. The rear door lock actuator failed and had to be replaced. The second is a creaking popping noise coming from the panoramic sun roof. This is a "known issue" according to the service department. Dealer had the car for 55 days total. No actual repair procedure from Hyundai so it is up to the tech to figure it out. 6 months later the noise is back! They tried a new piece of glass and it still makes noise after 4 tries. IT DRIVES ME NUTS! The Sirius radio had stopped working 3 times only to come back after sitting for 15 minutes. One more item to complain about is the tires. They suck! Flat spots when cold and one had a sidewall blow out. N,O WARR. ON TIRES the dealer says. I still recommend this car, barely. 1/2021. My engine has blown up. My axles had to be replaced, ect. Hyundai has spent over 10k on warranty. 126k miles now. NEVER AGAIN WILL I BUY A HYUNDAI!

2015 Sonata 2.4 poor engine/transmission synchronization

I have owned a 2011 and 2013 2.4 Hyundai Sonata GLS and now I own a 2015 2.4 Hyundai Sport. The engine and transmission of the 2015 does not work well in normal mode. The engine seems to want to shift down when under load at low speeds but the transmission will not allow it with normal gas pedal pressure, causing the engine to shutter. Shifting is much better in sport mode, but the torque is a lot less than the 2013 and 2011. Even with the traction and stability controls turned off, when you take a tight turn from stop or a tight u-turn at a slow speed and then press down hard on the gas, to keep from being run over by fast moving traffic, the vehicle is slow to respond. Back seats to hard.
