Two Years On and Doing Fine

Picked up my Quartz White 2019 Sonata SE two years ago today. So far, except for a blown DRL lightbulb, no issues or problems. There is plenty of room, car feels solid and handles well, is quiet, and I easily get 33 mpg in the city and 40 mpg using cruise control on the highway. Trunk is large and people rave about the back seat room. The base engine is reputed to be underpowered -- no so. Plenty of off-the-line power and passing ability. This car is very comfortable on a long trip. It handles well in the city even though it is a large car. Visibility is better than average thanks to large side windows. Interestingly, people don't recognize it was a Hyundai. Some folks think I drive an Audi or a Lexus. This is my third Sonata. Insurance and maintenance are cheap. I drove my 2011 Sonata for nine years without a problem, and it is considered an unreliable car. Complaints include too much hard plastic in the cabin. The black interior has gotten to be boring. Headlights seem weak and I may replace the bulbs with something brighter. I am concerned about the bad reputation the Theta II GDI has. Given I now have a lifetime replacement warranty, I guess I shouldn't fret. Had a chance to dig into the safety crash data and it looks like my car is better than average. I hope I'll never have to test that. Overall, for the $18,000 out-the-door price, I'm happy with my purchase.

Overall very pleased with the vehicle. Economical to drive & maintain. Mild mannered but spirited when pushed, especially in Sport mode. Interior well laid out with controls ergonomically positioned. The major complaint is the EXTREMELY sharp headlight cut-off when driving on roads with dips & hills. High beams are better, but still not as good as other vehicles. Recommend test driving at night to determine if this is an issue for you.

Please don’t buy this car and avoid any Hyundai dealerships. There is a problem with engine and engine oil consumption. Also dealers will not tell you about it problem and keep charging you with other issues. This is a horrible business

key fob is junk, has small pin to release key from fob when in pocket pin can get pushed & when taking fob out of pocket fob will fall off key & get lost. No friction between key & fob, supposed to pull fob from key, fob will fall off key by its on weight. Wound up putting duct tape around top to bottom to hold other fob together Hyundai knows this but doesn't care at least one fob should be covered under warranty. To get new one dealer needs to be paid for it before ordering I have to drive 100 mile round trip just to pay for ordering, is $304 plus amt. to program. Poor seats as cant raise seat up enough & front edge off drivers seat cant be adj. so it wont hit behind knees for 6ft driver. Poor tires for all weather type, dry weather only before buying tell dealer to replace tires with quality ones & pay difference, lack of ground clearance. Lower area of rear quarter panels are cheap plastic type material easily broken & expensive. Manuals are written in an Korean manner that is hard to understand & confusing, to many manuals for vehicle & take up to much room in glove box. Honda Accord may get better ratings but is a lot more expensive. You have to fall into car & is hard to get out of, but is same for most newer makes. If can afford better buy is Santa Fe if wanting Hyundai. Don't buy interior & exterior protectant is expensive, if washed & waxed is waste of money & looks like a glue covering on exterior & is hard to get off when waxing, smears. Sept.2019 review update: No real change very uncomfortable car to drive, felt okay at dealer but not later. Suggest renting a same car before buying & drive few days. Family member has 2013 Sonata & seats are very comfortable, cant put seat actuators in 2019 BUMMER. All of like cars you have to fall into very uncomfortable. Seems manufactures went for what they want not customers. Found Blue Link feature is a JOKE. The Blue Link feature is supposed to be for along time but ends in 3months & I paid for it. Windshield on both upper sides basically about 3 inches from each edge is poorly made has waves in it, in winter cant get wipers to clean windshield & ice forms & poor defroster cant melt it. Guess again Hyundai don't care about quality of vehicle. Have called two dealers & Hyundai about small blue lite close to switch that operates sunroof, don't know any thing about it, seems to lack any care for customer after sale. Would love to get rid of it, wished hadn't bought. Noted in Consumer Report isn't even listed as any rating for cars?????. Took car to selling dealer for oil & filter change, service person came out & showed me an in cabin air filter that was filthy. I knew it wasn't out of my car as had changed it two weeks prior & wasn't brand I put in. Usual scam played by a lot of dealers, showed them the receipt when I had bought it got pretty PO'd. Showed them the areas on windshield where it is wavy couldn't care less. As I have said prior service after sale is joke. Having worked as a service manager for 15 yrs I know great service, cant imagine treating customers like that, MOTTO: Service makes Sales

I've had issues with this car with only 300 miles on the odometer. Particularly vibration when driving. Getting in and out of the car is difficult for taller people, and the styling is behind the competition in my opinion.

Warranty Issues

This is my 2nd Hyundai. Both have had electronic issues. My first was an Elantra and the power steering (electronic) went bad at 30,000. This 2019 Sonata is in the shop for its 2nd electronic failure in 43,000. Now I am told the control modules that are bad are not currently available. NO IDEA on a ship date from Korea. As soon as this is fixed it gets traded.
