Great car,

For the dependent of car reliability, good looks and handles well in all types of weather from stop and go traffic in Hawaii, to the snow in Jersey, and the extreme heat in Vegas, car handled great no problems and yes this Sonata has done it all.

Great car.

Have had it for 60k miles and required nothing besides oil changes and gas. Hwy rides are a pleasure as roomines and power abound. Styl8ng is sharp and looks awesome. Great bang for the buck imho. Can't beat the warranty either... .

Sonata value

The Sonata has been a solid, efficient means of transportation for me. I work hard to keep it maintained well. There have been a large number of recalls, that have been frustrating. The brakes are good, but wear out quickly. The gas mileage for the four cylinder engine is around 32 mpg highway and 28 for local travel.

Mostly excellent, a couple small complaints.

Hyundai is a great value for the money. You get LOTS of features for the money you spend and with the Hyundais I have owned things do not break. For most cars, sunroofs are a common problem area. I use the sunroofs on my Sonatta LTD's a lot (this is my second one) and I have had zero problems. I also like the body style introduced first in the 2011 model. Both of my Sonattas have been extremely reliable cars. I am not sure if that is simply because they are well made or if it is because of the excellent service at Fairfax Hyundai. Two problem areas I have: Visibility: The front posts holding the roof up and the rear view mirrors together obstruct your view when you are making turns. This is especially problematic at night when visibility is already compromised. Accessing trunk through back seats: This is less of an issue than the visibility. The back seats fold down allowing long items to be stored in the trunk, which I love. However, you cannot fold them from inside but must instead operate levers both inside the car and inside the trunk. Worse, the low opening when the seats are down and the high rear lip of the trunk mean only long skinny things can fit, not long larger things.

Too many recalls

My 2011 Sonata has had numerous recalls. It has so many features that I really like, e.g., mid-size with the room of a full size sedan, very large trunk, great handling and cornering, good acceleration for a 4 cyl., the white paint has a glistening that is usually only found on much higher priced autos. The downsides are too much road noise, numerous recalls causing owner to spend too much time having repairs done, and recently the car would not start. It was on a Sunday and when I went to try again to start it on Monday, it did start. Drove to the dealer and they could not find a problem, This occurred When the care was 2 years old and it was a stop lamp switch assembly that had to be replaced. A year later that same part was put on a recall and replaced as part of the recall. Since it is acting the same way again the car is not reliable and it has only 38,000 miles.

Opinion of my Sonata

Happy with the car,rides a little rougher than I would like and wish the passenger seat was electric instead of manual and a grab bar handle on the driver side. Mileage could be a little better.Factory paint is outstanding

2011 Sonata Limited

Next car we will be going back to a Honda Accord. The 2.4 uses oil and the ride is not as smooth. Axle pops when backing up. Brake pads are the easiest I've ever replaced. It's not all bad. I just thought I would try a Hyundai for a change.

It's a Lemon, don't buy it!

Too many recalls. Constant issues with the push start, electric system, and headlights. I would not recommend purchasing this vehicle. It's fun to drive and gets decent gas mileage but many things are failing like the window buttons, the interior lights, the headlights have a short in them, the door locks are jacked up.

2011 Hyundai Sonata

I Love my Sonata. I wish it came with a V6 engine and more horsepower and torque. My Sonata is peppy for a 4 cylinder. Everyone of my friends likes my Sonata and one keeps asking me to sell it to him for his son.

2011 Sonata (Limited)

I couldn't have made a better choice. The car runs like a top, is as comfortable as a car can be and I have experienced no problems with it. Based upon my personal experience with my Sonata, I would recommend Hyundai to any that asked.

Good power, good econmomy, poor reliability.

7 recalls including a blown engine. Luckily I was on the highway on a time sensitive mission, and the car left me high and dry. After 100k the reliability fell apart. I buy vehicles to keep, and these are not what I need out of a vehicle. Vehicle was great while it was running without issue.

Not new now but still very good

Bought my 2011 Sonata new and although there have been a number of recalls on it, I still enjoy having the car. It is easy to drive and has enough room in the interior to accommodate four people nicely. Only regret is that the passenger seat is not higher and cannot be adjusted to do so.

Best car I've ever had!!

Very satisfied with all aspects of my 2011 Sonata. The guarantee that comes with it is genuine and the service I have received is the best I've ever had. Reimi, my service writer always makes sure the work is done to both his and my satisfaction.

My Hyundai Sonata

I have had my car for two years now. I absolutely love it. I love driving it and get great gas mileage. It's great for driving around town and making trips. My only regret is that I did not buy one sooner. I would recommend this car to anyone looking to buy.

Great car

I have no complaints about my 2011 Hyundai Sonata. I have over 100,000 miles on it and enjoy my car. I was going to buy a 2018 Sonata, however, I did not like the front end design so I kept my 2011.
