Get to know your mechanic on a first name basis
Pros: fuel efficient and comfortable but that’s about it The engine is a self destructing time bomb. It constantly burns oil, constant ticking and internal parts are failing such as piston rings and sensors. Forget a smooth relaxing ride, the sputtering and backfiring of the engine will keep you on edge for your life while driving. The suspension is held together by prayers and miracles as well as the brakes are essentially paper mache. The blind spot detection system is a JOKE and constantly needs to be recalibrated. I have had this car in the shop more than I have had it on the road. Sad fact, I have had more empathy from third party garages with my concerns VS the Hyundai dealerships who treat me like a pest…though I guess that’s to be expected when your service department phones never stop ringing to fix inferior cars. Biggest advice, stay the hell away from the Sonata and Hyundai vehicles as a whole. They are inferior quality cars not worth the constant maintenance costs

This was a car to love at great value
I loved my 2019 Hyundai Sonata. It was very comfortable and had great room in the back seat. It also had impressive fuel economy for a Non-hybrid. Usually averaged 30-33mpg. Plus it had very good torque to pass others easily. It had extras that I particularly liked like an AC vent in the back seat, extra cup holders and the sunglass holder that i found particularly handy. I did not have to pay extra for paint color either! The safety feature I loved the most was the blind spot and back up warning. The price of course was a good deal. Although I leased the car at a good deal, when it was time to return or buy, because of Covid 19 and supply problems, there were no cars on lots and any new vehicle had a ridiculous Over MSRP price by thousands. So I ended up purchasing the vehicle and got cheated by the dealer I purchased it from. The car itself was GREAT!

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.

Good Car and Bad Service
I am writing this review after my 5 years with 2019 Hyundai Sonata. I bought the car in June 2019 from California Bay Area with 22 miles on it and sold the car in June 2024 in Raleigh NC with 85,250 miles. Sold the car and went to another brand only because of bad service. The car is really great to drive in any condition and without any mechanical repairs. Now comes to service , during all these 5 years I drove the car in 4 states and with almost 8-10 dealers and their service is horrible through out all states CA, IL,VA and NC. Hyundai needs to focus on their service to attract and retain customers. I will give 4.5/5 for the car and 1.5/5 for their services :( I have almost 17 services (5000 miles for each service) in all 4 states and not even in one place their service is not up to the mark. The only reason I gave the service is the dealer sold the car with 5 years maintenance plan and which is a scrap it only helped me for their horrible oil changes only.
Hate this car
Traded our 2015 Sonata for a 2019 Sonata! No Sirius on this model that was on the same 2015 model. My phone now has to be plugged in to use the hands free calling and when I do place a call, does not show up on screen if I have multiple people with the same name!!! If I had realized all of the good things they Hyundai took put, I would not have purchased this vehicle. Never again.
