My luck getting the one Sonata with the rare issue

I don't know why, but I am having this issue where my car is currently getting mid 30s mpg on the highway when it usually gets around 44. My local hyundai replaced a bunch of parts, but I am still having poor mpg for my hybrid. It's been difficult researching my problem because few people experience this. My car is only slightly over 2 years old too. Goodness, it was so promising and I wanted to keep this car for a long time.

Great comfortable vehicle

Great gas mileage with a smooth ride. We really love the safety features such as when cruise control is on it slows down to avoid tailgating the car in front. Also the auto dimming of the headlights at night.

Hyundia Sonata Hybrid

The car has exceeded my expectation in all areas. I am pleased with the overall fuel mileage of 45+ mpg and 50+ mpg on trips. I operate the vehicle at the posted speed limits up to 65 mph. Seldom do I cruise at a higher speed.

Best car ever

My Sonata Hybrid is a great car. It's more comfortably & has more room than the Lincoln I had. I average 40-43 MPG & it has more power than you think it would have. It's fun to drive & passengers like that it's easy to get in & out of.

Eating my words

When the Brand of Hyundai first hit the streets of Los Angeles, my gut opinion was Ugggh!!! After years of personal distain for the Brand, four of my neighbors had our Condo Complex parking lot looking like a Hyundai Dealership. After speaking to them and riding in a Sonata I ventured down to our local Dealer and purchased my very own Sonata Hyundai Hybrid. The gas mileage is good and I plan on holding on to it right years plus. I'm eating my words Hyundai.

Very excellent

It's fun to drive. Very good mileage on. The only problem I'm having right now is the charging mileage went down but my vehicle is in repair shop to find out what's going on and it should be done soon.

Very good car

My hybrid 2016 sonata ultimate limited is a very good car. I would go as far to say is excellent car. I haven’t had any issues. And my gas mileage is about 41 to 43 miles per gallon. The best way to describe the car is is that the sexiest yet it is beautiful and very very reliable. Most of the safety features that are extra one new models my 2016 already has. I would love to trade it in but I haven’t found anything that has moved me yet. I am waiting for the Lexus UX and the Mercedes A Class to test drive. No BMW, Ford, Chevrolet, Honda, Toyota, Mazda have moves me. The only car that almost moved me trade in my car was the Nissan Marano and that was because the seat is so comfortable. The drawback was the mpg. There are two things I don’t like about the car one is the seat is hard. Second, having to pay for Bluelink. Blue link is this is the software that allows you to lock your doors, start your car remotely. Having to pay for that is a bit much. Brand new Hyundai models get 3 years free. But overall it’s a really good car I would rated above a Toyota I have all three Toyotas and still have to two with over 200 thousand miles each.

Nothings perfect

This car is one of my favorites. It rides well, handles very good for a sedan. I 55k trouble free mikes, so far. The MPG is not what it’s quoted as, but it’s still quite acceptable, and is an extremely good value

Why I like the plug-in electric Sonota

What makes this vehicle a great value is the ability to switch from all electric drive to HIV drive. I average 750 miles between full-ups, and usually get 11 to 12 gallons of gas. Best mileage was 840 miles and still had 100 miles before empty.

Unreliable Sonata Plug-in Hybrid-

2016 Sonato Plug-in hybrid. At less than 10,00 miles was in shop in San Diego for two months. Unable to figure out how to fix the car. Dealership in Tempe has no Plug-in certified mechanic. Car is now at 15,000 miles and has been in the shop five time for Plug-in issues.

Great fuel economy

Car has great fuel economy. The front seats could be more plush and supportive. It requires oil changes every 3k miles (instead of every 7k miles). Bluelink has been less than useful for navigation and having diagnostic data.

Game changer vehicle

This vehicle is by far the best vehicle I have ever owned. Super quiet on the freeway amazing gas mileage and the most power of all vehicles I have driven gas or hybrid. I travel 50-80k a year and rented vehicles for many of those drives. That all changed when I was given an Elantra. Mist room of all comparable vehicles I have used and I am no small passenger over 6' and 300+ lbs. I have since upgraded to a hybrid sonata and love it. Does not have the spongy lag at take off and has plenty of power on the freeway. Set the cruise control and it maintains smooth consistent speed and fuel economy on flats and hills.

High quality, excellent performance, and GREAT on gas

I purchased my first Hyundai automobile in 2016. My wife and I selected the Sonata Hybrid. What a life changer it has become to us. We are both in our mid 70's, and wanted something economical, but also wanted quality, and a good warranty. We ended up with gas mileage which greatly exceeded all our expectations, as well as the longest and best warranty on the planet. There are many relatives in our family that own the ( other ) brands of cars, and I know the kind of problems they have had. We have had none, nada, zero. Like energizer, it just keeps on ticking. Even the hybrid battery unit came with a LIFETIME warranty. This car is fun to drive. No need to plug it in. Battery is recharged just by driving, coasting, and stepping on the brakes. Many times I have exceeded 50 mpg. My average is around 44 mpg. Enough said. Get one for yourself. You will NOT be disappointed.

Cruise Control

We've enjoyed the comfort and economy of this well-equipped automobile. Except for the cruise control (which is an absolute disaster) and the sun visors (which aren't designed to stay where placed) the car is super.

I Love My Hyundai Sonata Hybrid!

This is my second Hyundai Sonata Hybrid. Every year I review the newest vehicles on the market and have always found my car to be the best choice for the money. There are so many safety and convenience features - all in one great package - on my car. Other vehicles may include those features, but I haven't found one that has all of them in one car, and, often, they aren't as attractively presented. I am looking forward to seeing what Hyundai has to offer in 2019.

THE 2016 Sonata Hybrid Limited Ultimate

We enjoy the outside modern look. Our color is the light Silver which is easy to maintain and keep looking sharp! The interior leather seats and features are exceptional. Seats are very comfortable for our trips. My wife especially likes having the power seat features on her side, not just the drivers seat. With her health issues she enjoys the heated and cooling features along with zone climate control. The dash layout is easy to read while driving and steering wheel audio and drivability features are very helpful also. The panoramic roof is enjoyable in sun and overcast days alike. Everyone always asks what kind of Car is it? We proudly state the Brand and Model along with where we purchased it when local or at their local Hyundai dealer if on a trip. The motor is like we are driving a total electric model. I find myself turning the car on at times even though it is running! My fault for not paying attention to the dash content lights. Only wish it had a heads up display!!!! Maybe on my next trade in time.
