Used 2021 Hyundai Sonata Sedan Consumer Reviews
Hyundai
We like our Sonata very much! This is our 3rd Sonata.
Annoying, average
I drove this model for about 1700 miles across very different places in California, a rental. It surely compares well against western cars, but they do not set the standards, even the luxury ones. My own car is a Kia 2019, it has very similar mileage, same comfort but much better technology. This sonata model safety features is a like a nagging girlfriend or mom rushing to start moving when the car ahead start moving when the stop lights turn green, which is not really the safest and best choice. It won't stop "suggesting" to stop to relax for a coffee break after driving like a hundred miles, which would not relax me at all as the night falls or the day just passes by, things to do, while I would just be sitting drinking coffee in some place I never cared to stop. Have no idea why that'd be relaxing. Lazy people may well like that, which there are plenty of. That's all the safety features I noticed in the car. My Kia doesn't nagg. Instead, it has very useful side lights in the mirrors warning about incoming vehicles in the blind spots. Sonata was unable to connect to my iPod, I had to connect my iPod a radio interfering device, which obviously did not work in most places. A lot of fun screwed. My Kia, and former Honda cars, do connect well to devices. It would've been a nightmare to buy this brand new car of moderate price just to get a naggy junk that does not do what I want or would like to get, instead just naggs on and on.

Comfort & Reliablliy
Solid vehicle with reliability , comfort , good mileage and value for the money compared to other vehicles, foreign or domestic. Have owned 3 Sonata’s and will likely replace with a 4th when the time comes.

From plain to sexy
I had to get a replacement car right away when my 2006 Camry blew a head gasket. The repair would have equaled the value of the car. After a week of almost frantic looking I did the unthinkable and looked at the Enterprise Care sales lot and found this bright red 2021 Sonata Hybrid I had been keeping the Camry expecting to buy a hybrid in another 1-2 years. Despite the seller's market. I was able to get this thru Enterprise at a very reasonable price and their processing fee of $399 with a 12 month/12,000 mile full warranty made the new car dealers look like pirates! Only time will tell if I got a great deal, but for now I am very happy!

If you can't drive, this is the car for you!
Seems to be a typical Hyundai (I've owned several and I loved them until now), well built, incredible fuel milage, but poor technology. I'm not sure who decided "Car play" was a good idea (cell phone reception never fails, right?) and the "Smart Cruise Control" is probably the worst system I have ever had the misfortune to have on an automobile. Bends on bridges on country roads and the car slams on the brakes because it thinks the railings are stopped vehicles. If someone straddles the lines in front of you even when there is plenty of room, the car looses it mind. Beeping, braking, messages flashing all over the dash board. Nothing like distracting you with unnecessary warnings during the time you should be paying the most attention. I have been driving for over 40 years, including over a million accident free commercial miles. The safety features in this car are designed for poor drivers, and I suppose for them it works well enough but for anyone who enjoys driving, those same features are a disaster. Pleas, please, please set things up so this junk can be turned off.
