Used 2022 Hyundai Sonata Consumer Reviews
Lemon
Like others have reported. Multiple electronic faults. The car dangerously shuts off while driving & the front collision breaking sytem randomly tries to stop the car. I’ve owned the car 4 months. All 4 payments have been made while the car sits in service. The service department has no idea what’s happening. I am in the final stages of a lemon law buy back.

Great Car, Loaded with Technology! Wife Loves it.
I have been looking at several new vehicles the last 3 months. We have owned dozens of cars over the years and when you can be somewhat picky, it can make the decision process a bit daunting. After looking at many many vehicle's, the Sonata Limited seem to fit the bill.

Fancy but with safety in mind!
Fully loaded with so many features.. but my favorites are the heads up display, blind spot camera, the MyHundai app, the locator option, lane assist and the many safety features with visual warnings/reminders.

Impressive value with a few flaws
When I first saw the 8th-generation Sonata, I was both confused and awed by the blend of elements both classy and modern, by the different impressions conveyed at each angle. Was the Sonata interesting now?? I continue to be impressed by Hyundai's aggressive efforts to evolve its brand, not only staying competitive but earning business by providing remarkable value in terms of features, safety, style, etc., all at an economy price. I have spent about four months with my 2021 Sonata Limited now, and I conclude that overall it's a great value for the price with an impressive attention to detail but a couple of glaring flaws. It certainly looks more expensive than it is with its sleek, refined appearance and luxurious beige-gray interior (depending on which color you get). The Limited trim level also has a sprightly little turbocharged engine and an impressive array of features, not to mention simply being an enjoyable "place to be," as the car reviewers say. All of this constitutes - on paper, at least - a better value for the price than the fully loaded competitors (Camry, Accord, etc.). But I am surprised by the few flaws that did slip through their development process despite the otherwise thorough attention to detail that is evident. First, there is no interior handle with which to close the trunk, encouraging owners to leave fingerprints on the rear paint (I usually close mine by touching one of the taillights). I might even recommend one of these for the hood as well. Second, there is much more road noise than I would expect from this quality of vehicle, which diminishes my enjoyment of the Bose sound system. The third and most glaring flaw is the over-specified suspension system which I find excessively stiff and jittery for what is supposed to be a more luxurious sedan. Certainly it handles corners fairly well despite having significant body roll, but most consumers interested in this car want something more comfortable and will not be driving aggressively enough to justify this level of stiffness. I really like this car in general, but the stiff suspension may lead me to selling it sooner than I had planned. To my understanding the Accord and Mazda6 manage to have sporty handling while still being comfortable, so I would think Hyundai could do the same. Even my 2017 Elantra seemed to have fairly tight suspension (though I never tested its limits) and yet I had no issues with comfort. My theory is that they used essentially the same suspension system for all trim levels of the Sonata so that it would be sporty for the N-Line and average for the others, but as a result it's sporty for everyone. Those with the base model probably don't notice this as they have much more sidewall, but anyone with 17-inch or 18-inch wheels is destined for the chiropractor. So in conclusion, the underdog still has a few things to learn, and my search for an interesting, affordable, yet comfortable commuter car continues.
