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.

I had a 2006 Hyundai Sonata which was a great car, so I bought another Sonata. It's nowhere near as comfortable. The front seats are extremely uncomfortable because of a seam that presses into the back of the legs, sides that angle up (fine if you're VERY, VERY skinny) and is deeper than is comfortable from front to back. The design of the seats also make it more difficult to get in and out of the car. The rear of the car slants down which makes it "sexier" looking, but is impractical. The trunk is large, but because of the slant of the rear window, the opening for the trunk makes it difficult to get anything of size into it. The rear seats fold down, but the release to fold them is in the trunk instead of the back window ledge - a very inconvenient feature. The steering wheel is smaller than a standard size which made it hard to find a cover for it (needed for hot summers). The steering wheel also has controls so The Club doesn't fit easily. It does NOT have a spare tire - just a "fix-a-flat" kit which is worthless for a blow-out. When the ignition is turned off, all 4 doors unlock which I consider very dangerous. It's difficult to put on and take off the front seat belts because the latch is very low between the seat and the console. I'm sorry I bought the car.
