2015 Hyundai Sonata Limited 2.0T 4dr Sedan w/Black Leather and Gray Accents (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
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.
unless you're looking for trouble stay clear

2015 Hyundai Sonata Limited 2.0T 4dr Sedan w/Black Leather and Gray Accents (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
I purchased a new 2015 fully loaded Sonata 2.0 T. I was pretty happy with it until fuel injectors went bad when the car had less than 9000 miles on it. that caused spark plugs and coils go bad and finally catalytic converter! There are three things that bothers me about this car: ***1- Hyundai itself: they do not have ANY PARTs in stock, so the car had to sit in the dealership for almost … a month only because parts weren't available or they had to order it and have it shipped or parts were on back order. ***2- after I showed my frustration and even mentioned word "Lemon Law" to the dealership after my car was sitting in the dealership for over 2 weeks, Hyundai North East general manager "Pauletta" called me and assured me that they were working on it and they would ship the parts as soon as they're available. she gave me her phone# and told me after my car was fixed she would call me and offer me gift cards or free service coupons. guess what?! I got my car back but I can't get a hold of Pauletta ever! I called her multiple times and left messages, no one answers the phone and my calls were never returned. ***3- Sonata 2.0 T: try to stay away from Hyundai Turbo cars, I talked to three mechanics and even the dealership guy himself told me that Hyundai Turbo cars are high maintenance cars....
UPDATE ( a month later):
Hyundai East region manager "Pauletta" just offered me a term of 10 years/120,000 miles Platinum extended warranty for all the frustration and the time that was spent over the repairs. I'm upgrading my two star rating to 4 star. they're clearly trying to take care of their customers. the only reason I'm not choosing 5 is because I'm still not happy with the reliability of the car, but if you have platinum extended warranty at no charge, then NO WORRIES!
Black leather driver seat backrest wears off.

2015 Hyundai Sonata Limited 2.0T 4dr Sedan w/Black Leather and Gray Accents (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
We bought this car new with 1700 miles on It. At 2000 miles the leather on the drivers seat backrest was worn off and was white. Cheap material! The dealership looked at it and said that there had to be something wrong with the material and ordered a new seat cover. It came in and they had the upholstery guy install it. The car now has 5300 miles and the seat is doing the same thing. … Contacted the dealership and they said "To bad we replaced it once." Filed a case with Hyundai America and after more than a month, a few ugly phone calls and a lot of emails they told us the same thing and that it was the way we got in and out of the car. They said we slid our butts getting in and out! Really? We needed to put the seat all the way back, get in and put the seat back up. If anyone in the world can get in and out of a car without sliding there butt on some part of the seat I will kiss that butt! I am in the process of trying to trade the car. I am 65 and was hoping this would be my retirement car.
DO NOT buy a Hyundai with black leather!!

2015 Hyundai Sonata Limited 2.0T 4dr Sedan w/Black Leather and Gray Accents (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
My car is suppose to get 23/32 MPG but no matter how I drive, Eco, Normal or Sport, baby driving...coasting to red lights in city and doing 75 hwy, I consistently come in 4 MPG less both city & hwy. I have tested the computer read by the old fashioned way of spending down the fuel and then filling back up, tracking the mileage. I have done Octane additives at the suggestion of the … Hyundai service advisor. I took in to get the car's computer system checked. They just want to blow it off as did the Hyundai America customer service. When I read reviews on the Turbo 2.0 Sport limited, I see every so often drivers mentioning their mileage at what I am suppose to get yet am not. I figure at $2.50 per gallon this will cost me about $300 a year! Not happy and not done complaining. Now, for the rest of the car, it is awesome for the money. I have used numerous times all the tech stuff on this Ultimate package that comes on the Sport Turbo limited. Very impressive. I hear complaints on the pick up but I am telling you that if you throw into tiptronic, you will fly! The smart car technology on cruise is awesome, cross traffic control is incredible, back up cam with sonar, excellent, BSD and BSD oncoming warning is spot on, forward crash avoidance works like advertised!
