feels like a prius with turbo lag

adding to title, do not know if suspension is different than sport but sport was more planted. sport has better wheels and tires and 300 more lbs which perhaps adds to more refined ride. acceleration not much different in time but eco shifts can be rough at lower speeds.

Bought a 2017 Sonata 4 DR. Was not told by Dealer/Sales or Management that the Navigation system in my Sonata was only workable when MY CELL phone was pluged into the automobile's port. When I went to another dealer, then I was told "the Sonata Limited" had Navigation that did NOT require what I was told at the first dealership. PROBLEM was I already purchased the first one. I was so upset that in ONE weeks time I turned THAT Sonata in for the one I did not know about earlier.. Shame on Dealership

Bluetooth ringtone & radio channel failures

Bluetooth: All of a sudden I can't get the car's ringtone to sound even though my cell phone is alerting me of an incoming call. I've been to the dealership and T-mobile. Zilch! I say something somewhere is on "mute". No one is "expert" enough to find the problem, however. Radio Channels: I bought my car second hand and tried to delete the former owners selection of radio stations. No-can-do. The channels can be overridden but not deleted.

worst quality of tires possible

Within 5 months and 5000 miles of purchasing a new 2017 Hyundai Sonata, I had to replace 3 tires. With minimal or jerk or hitting the curb, the tires burst. If you think I drive poor, for a comparison, I have been driving a Rav4 for 25000 miles and still have excellent quality of tires in it. I'm done with Hyundai vehicles, I cannot drive in constant fear that when my next tire is going to burst. I'm really scared of going on highways on high speeds or take my family out in this car. I'm replacing this car as soon as I can.

I’ve never thought I’d be an owner to a Hyundai but here I am a complete owner to one and honestly I love it! I’d stay with this brand for a while

Solid 3 with cons

Good leg room and good on gas, but time for the problems. I’ve had the car for about 2 months now. The air recirculating does not stay on. I have to constantly press it. Drive behind a dumpster well this car doesn’t care and will turn off recirculate so you can get a good smell of it. From what I’ve looked up it’s a standard feature that has to be turn off every time you start the car. The blind spot monitoring sometimes does not work if I’m going too slow and the touchscreen takes FOREVER to recognize my phone. Sometimes it takes 1 entire minute. My old 2011 Mazda 3 Bluetooth system wouldj find my phone amount instantly when the car started.

Even though I have just purchased my Hyundai I am in love with it. It rides so good and the gas mph is amazing. The comfort of the seats and room inside are excellent. I was looking for a car that will be safe for my 16 year old to drive and I feel completely safe with this car.

I wasn't ready to buy a new to me car. My Father had left me his car in his will..I had put more money into it than I could afford and it was just time....I had a limited budget for a new car- Safety, reliability and price were factors but I just walked into our dealership and Daniel found the right car for me at the right price, Dad is still with me but now I am safer. Thank You!!

Got this one after comparing to others in the market. Was able to add several promos on top of each other to get really good price for this car. Value wise this is way ahead of others...
