Base 2.4 engine works just fine!

Comments about lackluster base engine are unfounded in my book. I never hurt for power when I need it. Nice to have a read 6 speed instead of a droning cvt.

Third 2019 Sonata Limited Disappointing!!!

Hyundai has lowered the quality disguised as upgrades. I traded my 2015 Limited for a 2019. Nothing but problems from day one, from lights, rattle in dash, severe squeaking in brakes. Brake issue took three times to resolve. We are still not sure they are fixed. Tried to file claim, Hyundai rude and inefficient and offered no solution. Lower quality, higher price. Sadly after 10 years of purchasing Hyundai, we will never buy again.

Great value, safe, great MPG on highway

My car is 2019 Sonata SEL with tech package in spring of 2019. I think the car looks awesome with the mesh grille. The tech package give you all the safety features like front collision avoidance, lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, blind spot indicator. All the safety functions works great, except one complain I have about lane keep assist. The car detect whether your hand is on the steering wheel. If your hand is not on the wheel the car will first make some noise, then it will turn off the LKA. I don't know whether other cars do the same thing or why Sonata does this. But if I fell asleep, I cannot hear the noise the LKA will be off. the car stop following the lane. The LKA may also be not working right after you changed lane. But other than this things, I am so happy with all the safety features, they all work great. The info, entertainment system works great. Apple carplay works perfectly, except that it cuts off your music when the GPS was speaking. I wish they can just lower the volume without completely cut it off. I got it with about $4000 below MSRP price. That's a great advantage for Hyundai. They always give you big discounts later in the year. The MPG value is a big surprise for me. The ad says it is 33 on highway. If I drive highway only I can get 40MPG. But I have a little 5% of city driving, I got 37MPG. I just set the speed at 68MPH for cruise control on highway. I got this number. This put SONATA on the same level with Camry or accord in this aspect. The city MPG is about the same as advertised. But I think Camry put too much engineering to get the high MPG. Their transmission is not responsive in the 2018 model. With SEL, the car has heated steering wheels, heated seats for drivers and front passenger. push button start, remove start with 3 year free subscription of blulink. The car has a lot of space too. The handling is fine. In general, this car is a great car. with the 10 year/100k power train warranty. I think this is much better value than camry and accord without any compromise in performance.
