2018 Hyundai Sonata Sport 4dr Sedan w/Prod. End 5/18 (2.4L 4cyl 6A)

This car is not for everyone. If you want a comfortable vehicle with a solid suspension most reviewers of the Sonata would agree this is why they buy the car. The downside of this car I say is its lackluster engine its not a speed demon so your not going to be racing anyone. The cabin is very solid in its layout and you cant beat the android auto play its a steal . There is some tire noise but its nothing to grip about , its a very quite vehicle at freeway speeds and comfortable as well.

Great Car with Smooth Ride

2018 Hyundai Sonata SEL SULEV 4dr Sedan w/Prod. End 5/18 (2.4L 4cyl 6A)

I you want a dependable car the SEL Sonata is a great car. Quite Ride. Plenty of room. Plenty of trunk space. Mine has leather seats this was in the deal when I bought it, has 8200 miles. This is my third Sonata. This car has many features that are standard. I had a Sonata 2016 limited which was great with everything u would want on a car. Kind of miss the limited with everything on it, but we did not use a lot of the features. Like the 2018 design. Try the Sonata, u will love it.

Very Bumpy Ride

AveCarGuy, 10/11/2018
2018 Hyundai Sonata SEL+ SULEV 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 6A)
3 of 5 people found this review helpful

This car is ok as most things go. But its main drawback is that it's a very rough ride. You feel every little bump in the road. Anything more than a little bump hits you hard in your seat, and shakes the car a lot, plus the drivers door creaks. It's almost like there's no shock absorbers on the car. I bought it after reading about how smooth the ride is, but the car has a very rough ride. It's hard to know from just a short test drive with the dealer. Everything else about the car is good, but with the terrible ride, I really wish I spent the extra money for a Camry or Accord. As a side note, the gas mileage isn't as good as advertised, either.

2018 Sonata Limited w/ Ultimate Package

Ryan D Tatum, 10/24/2018
2018 Hyundai Sonata Limited 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 6A)
2 of 3 people found this review helpful

I'm 6'1" and I have lots of room and lots of seat adjustments to accommodate my frame. I've got 6K+ miles on the car and I have enjoyed every last one of those miles. Tires are a bit noisy but that will be taken care of when I replace them with better tires. All the amenities of this car makes it a very good purchase. My last Sonata (2011) was still going strong after 170K hard miles, I'm sure this one will do the same. Only drawbacks are, does not have dual exhausts like the 2015, no light in the glove box (which is pretty stupid), no handle in the trunk (2015 has a handle to use to close the truck (keeps hand prints from being on the outside of the trunk)), like the rear design of the 2015 better than the 2018. That being said, the positives are so numerous I can't name them all but here are a few. Cool and heated seats, smart cruise control, rear collision sensor, front collision sensors, lane keep assist, LED headlights that move (when turning), duel climate controls, digital/analog dash combo, 8" LCD GPS NAV/Infotainment screen, and so much more. This makes 6 Sonata's in the family (2 x 2011 GLS, 1 x 2013 GLS, 2 x 2015s Limited, 1 x 2018 Limited ) and we have enjoyed all of them.
