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.

all i can say after owning a 2014 elantra sport,a 2016 veloster turbo,and a 2018 elantra sport turbo,is WOW..the red pearl is gorgeous.the safety features are fantastic.the smell of the leather inside,and the way everything works with precision is nothing short of amazing. 2 years later--the pano roof can rattle & squeak,brakes squeaking,side of drivers' seat is showing wrinkled on the left side ,infinity system is fair,not what i expected.

2019 Sonata 2T Limited

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.
