I love my Sonata

I went car shopping for many cars before I ended up at the Hyundai dealership in Deland. I had no idea which car to choose until I test drove the Sonata and I fell in love with it, and I still love it today.

Mixed reviews

This model has had many recalls which have been corrected, but I have very mixed feelings about ever buying another Sonata again. Also, the bulbs go out a lot on this car! The passenger seat needs to be higher as you sink in and my passengers can barely see over the dashboard!! The front bumper is too long and constantly scrapes every driveway.

Smooth Sonata

We bought our 2012 Sonata at 9 months old (from manufacture date) and 9,265 miles logged at this dealer location. We left feeling we received a "good deal" and have no regrets. Our research sources compared this Sonata with top name brands of like kind and to our surprise the 2012 Sonata came out on top in all categories. We wrote the check!

Sonata Hybrid

Love the way this car handles and it's sleek styling. The mileage is great as I have a house in both sides of the Cascades and travel over Stevens Pass during all weather conditions. It has been extremely reliable.

hyundai Sonata hybrid

2012 model year, bought new. Gas mileage generally as advertised, but lower in city driving. Both ball joints/control arms went bad during initial warranty; serviced promptly by the dealer. Trunk space is lacking due to lithium battery. 12 volt battery costs $300 to replace.

2012 Hyundai Sonata

After driving my car everywhere for 6 years, I still feel as though I'm driving a new car. A little wear is all that shows me the car has been used and loved. The heated back seat is a real treat for my companions when I have more than 1 riding with me.

This is a wonderful vehicle with two faults, one of which is a minor nuisance.

Everything works and is designed for convenience. The Sonata is comfortable for normal and for small people. It has excellent power but gets great mileage. The ride is smooth both on relatively rough streets and smooth interstates. Road noise is less than many cars that I've had. The vehicle's biggest fault is that the front air dam is too close to the ground. It catches on parking lot bumpers, curbs, and other things. The rear-view mirror doesn't have enough adjustment for a normal-sized man to be able to see well out the back window. Because visibility out the back is mediocre, this car should come with a rear-view camera as standard. Unfortunately, in 2012 the camera was only available if you bought the $3,000 navigation package that I didn't want or need. A short adult passenger will have restricted visibility out of the front passenger window. The standard mechanical seat has no vertical adjustment, so buy the electric passenger seat instead.

2012 Sonata

While I have had a few mechanical issues with my Sonata, I had a great warranty company and the Hyundai team to back up my vehicle. And because of Hyundai's commitment to a great service reputation they have fixed problems on the behalf of their company and not even had to contact my warranty company. With so many shady automobile companies, Hyundai has taken responsible for repairs and gone above and beyond in service. Love my Sonata. The sedan is amazing in fuel economy and its a really great looking sedan.

I love this car. Wish it was a little higher off the ground. Space is great in the front. Not much room in back with car seats. Never any problems with this car. Wish the navigation could be updated by wifi.

Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Review

The Hyundai Sonata Hybrid is a good car. My concerns with the car are over a recent and reported in past transmission issue. This transmission issue is not unique to Hyundai many other automakers, who manufacture hybrids, have experienced problems with the transmissions in hybrids. Love the Hyundai's and how they are made today however even though Hyundai fixed my transmission and did right by me, that point remains a concern in getting the hybrid. By all means go out and get a Hyundai Sonata.

Amazeballs

I love my Sonata. When it first came on the scene I knew that was my dream car. I bought my 2012 brand new as the 2011 used was only a bit less and had 20000 miles on it. I didn't get the color that I originally wanted, but over time I fell in love with my 2nd choice. It's almost multi colored. Depending on the lighting it looks black,blue,green or purple. So cool. When my husband drives my car he looses it on the regular because of the changing colors. I put custom seat covers in to prevent the seats from getting stained and detail my baby every year. I love the way the Sonata looks inside and out. Almost like the cockpit of a space shuttle. It looks very high end unlike the newer models. The driver seat is changed by buttons, after having driven over 100000 miles, so signs of wear or tear. Smooth ride and quick pick up when needed. Handles amazingly in tight situations. I keep up with regular maintenance and detailing it when needed. It's my pride and joy.

Too many recalls!

I bought this car used (2 yrs old and 40,000 miles) and initially loved it. However, soon the notices started coming in for recalls. I have had at least 6 recalls, resulting in 3 trips to the dealership for repairs. I never owned a foreign car before and now I know why. In addition, the microphone for the hands free has never worked.

Good service

I have been getting my cars serviced at Gerald for over 7 years without any problem. This ownership has done everything right in my eyes and will continue to do so in the future. I purchased a Sonata back in 1987 with no experience with the vehicle and had a few problems. ( battery and brakes). And I said I wouldn’t purchase another but I took a look at this car and haven’t looked back.

I really enjoy my Sonata. It is very sleek looking and has plenty of power for a 4-cylinder. I like to keep my vehicle serviced well so that I can prohibit growing problems. Superior excels at customer satisfaction and commitment
