Hyundai sonata

I like the car overall. It just had too many recalls. The headlight bulbs aren't very bright since I've had to replace them. Im told that a brighter bulb would burn the socket of this vehicle out. I purchased this 2011 in 2010 and the body style remains competitive with newer and other model vehicles.

Solid

Sonata is always dependable. I do keep up with the maintenance which is a boost to the life of the vehicle. It is a comfortable ride and has excellent gas mileage. And you cannot beat the warranty!

Love my Sonata

I have the 2011 Hyundai Sonata 2.0T Limited. When I purchased this car I was in the market brand specific. I was looking for features that fit my interest and needs. I was looking for a 4 door sedan, plenty of leg room, reasonable power, and a comfortable riding car. I looked at Volkswagon, Ford, Chevy, Honda, Chrysler, etc. but I kept finding myself going back and re-looking at the Sonata (used). I test drove a Sonata and liked the feel, leg room, etc. but it lacked a little in the power department. Started researching the car and discovered the Turbo model. Found one, drove it, loved it, bought it. I've had the car for 4 and a half years and had some issues with it mechaniclly but Hyundai stood by me and took care of me. I bought the car with 36,000 miles on it and at 94,000 Hyundai replaced the core engine, turbo, and inner cooler free of charge. Gotta love that 100,000 mile warranty. Ever since then the car has been amazing, no complaints. Thank you Hyundai for what you did for me.

Great car!

Love the Sonata. Reliable, comfortable, lots of zip even without the turbo. Seems like more than average recalls, but Hyundai is to be commended for trying to make it right with no hedging or waffling.

Poorly built engine

Hyundai should be ashame for putting out cars with poorly built engine. With my engine going out it put me in so much debt. I will never get another Hyundai! Put more money into the car to getting the car fix than what I paid for it

I love my car and wouldn’t trade it in for the newer model

I’ve been asked several times to trade in my car but I absolutely love it. The style is great and it’s larger than the 2018 model which I drove for a whiles. And the company kept their word and changed my engine at no cost to me.

2011 Hyundai Sonata HYBRID

We wanted to purchase a new hybrid, but the others we tried we too cramped for us. Not only is the Sonata comfortable, it has adequate trunk space and passengers are not crowded. Because of severe Minnesota weather, we would like a rear window wiper. Everything else works very well, and my 82 year old wife continues to feel at ease driving our near-warranty-over car. Hyundai is our first choice in the future. Also, we appreciated having a loaner during service calls only the few times we needed one. We enjoy the dealer waiting room. The mileage easily leaped over 40mpg when I drove it properly.

2011 Sonata

Best design in all of the Sonatas, what came after did nothing compared to the 2011. The newest Sonata 2019/2020 is just bad. Should’ve been creative as in the the 2011 not copy and blend designs from Honda and other brands.

My Sonatas

I really love my 2011 and 2013 Hybrid and non-hybrid Sonatas. Love the styling, ride, gas mileage and comfort and audio systems! My salesman can’t talk me into a new one! I have several classic cars but my Sonata styling is my favorite !

Sonata

Wind noise makes it hard to really enjoy Awful spring over bumps causes you to think you have hit a pot hole every time Not too happy with so many recalls Can’t trust dealer in Macon to do the recall work

My Hyundai

I first bought our Hyundai because of the warranty, something that came in handy when a transmission oil pump failed at 98,000 miles. Aside from this, I used to tell people that this was the most reliable car I'd ever owned. Then the engine failed at 120,000 miles and we were quoted $8,000 plus labor to replace it. This was a figure higher than the value of the car, so we started to look into buying something new, probably not a Hyundai since the engine's life seemed abnormally short. But, without our asking, Hyundai agreed to pay for a replacement engine at factory expense. Also, the replacement process took six months, during which Hyundai paid for a rental car to substitute for our car. This level of customer concern has caused us to take another look at Hyundai when it becomes time for replacing our car. The Sonata has not been perfect, but it has offered good value for the money and we are generally satisfied with the owner experience.

2011 sonata

I have loved my 2011 Hyundai Sonata since I bought it. For the price I this care is loaded with features. It has always be very dependable and the fuel economy was much better than I expected. The warranty coverage is the best on the market.

I love my 2011 Hyundai Sonata. It rides beautifully and I have some gadgets I didn't have in my little old beater car.

I have only had my Sonata a couple of months. It is a used vehicle yet, I have been very happy with how it drives, gas mileage, etc. I couldn't honestly rate reliability at this point because I haven't put it through any rough conditions - like cold weather.

Awesome Vehicle!

I own a 2011 Hyundai Sonata 2.0t and aside from the engine replacement (which a lot of this particular year model has had), it has been one of the best vehicles I have ever owned! It is powerful, great looking and rides/ drives well. About that engine replacement, Hyundai fully covered all repairs, with no out of pocket expenses to me. They also provided me a rental until my car was repaired. Excellent customer service!!

Good, Bad, Ugly

My 2011 Hyundai Sonata limited is a mixed bag. There are some really nice features like automatic climate control that I love. The car gets decent gas mileage and is comfortable to drive. One issue that I have is with the dash. The surface of the dash started cracking and spread very quickly to the point that it's ugly, so ugly. I am embarrassed to have friends ride with me because of the dash. Also, the number of recalls I have had to deal with has been not so acceptable.
