Love Hyundai

2015 Hyundai Sonata Limited 4dr Sedan w/Brown Leather (2.4L 4cyl 6A)

This is my second Sonata and third Hyundai. I liked my 06 Sonata but traded up for a a 10 Tucson. The ride quality of the 06 Sonata waso much better than the 10 Tucson. I'm a 38 year old male and decided I needed a vehicle with better ride quality, but I never expected the 15 Sonata to ride as well as it does. I love this vehicle. My ex had a 12 bmw 328 xi and I can only feel the difference of steering in drive/ride quality from his Beemer to my 15 Sonata Limited. Hyundai has really leaped forward! Very impressed!

Conflict feelings

The design really gives a feeling of the quality but for the 3 years I had the car, the coating of the shifter knob peeled off, the door handle of the passenger's door fell off all the sudden by itself, and controlling the phone (scrolling through call history and contacts list) stopped working. I took the dealer over 2 week to order the parts and replace the shifter knob and door handle. The dealer acknowledged the flaw of controlling the phone but they didn't take any action to fix it. The car is very comfortable, quiet, and handle well but the acceleration is disappointing for a 2.4L engine. I've owned and drove cars with 2.0, 2.4, and 2.5 engines that performed better than this engine.

When I decided to by the 2015 Sonata SE, I read the reviews here first. I summarily dismissed those that were very very subjective. I have owned and driven 4 Hyundai's for the last 15 years. I have had nothing to complain about except the sun visor problems in the 2006 Sonata. I very much enjoyed the 2013 with no complaints at all. I now have the 2015 Sonata. The ride is superb (for me). my wife and I both have back problems and found this car to be very comfortable. Granted, it doesn't have the smooth ride of my Lexus, but it also doesn't have the price tag. You get what you pay for. Hyundai has yet to disappoint me, which will make me continue to purchase Sonatas until they do.

Pretty much what I expected

If you do your homework, this car doesn't offer many surprises. However, I would say the comfort and engine aren't as terrible as some say it is. It's a family sedan, so you won't do 0-60 races that often. There's some turbo lag to get it off the line. However, the mid-range strength is about what you'd expect from 245hp and does not disappoint. Plus, if you need more agility, you can use the shifter paddles and you'll be zipping around fast enough to guarantee tickets. The seats in the Sport are stiffer, but also provide more lateral support - they are not Mercedes quality, but then you can get a loaded Sport for less than $25K. In terms of value, this one is hard to beat.

Want to Love it.

2015 Hyundai Sonata Eco 4dr Sedan (1.6L 4cyl Turbo 7AM)
14 of 17 people found this review helpful

I purchased the Sonata Eco with the tech package. I am a 6'4" tall and weight around 240. I purchased this car because I felt the vehicle fit me well and was built with quality. I have owned the car for about 6 months and have liked it but not loved it. My main complaint is with the driver seat. I am still not comfortable in the seat, though it is getting better. When I drive it for an extended period (up to a 1/2 hour) I get out with upper back pain. This has been very frustrating. I have loved MPG I am getting with the vehicle. If I have the vehicle in ECO mode and drive conservatively I can get 40 mpg on the freeway. I purchased the vehicle for around 24K the price dropped to around 23K a couple of months after I purchased it.
