Drove Only GM Products For Years

I was tired of having to go back to a GM dealer countless times during the Warranty period and taking up the repairs myself, afterwards. Kept up reading various Car Publications and as time drew closer for another car the Hyundai Sonata reviews became strong along with talking to strangers of their experiences. No regrets at all in its' purchase.

Great car!

Even though there was a recall on the engine and were given a free new one via dealership, it has been a great car. My husband drive it for a few years, and now my 19 year old daughter drives it. A good solid car that I hope will last her through college.

Excellent

The Sonata has been very reliable. It drive very smoothly and is very comfortable, especially on long trips. The Sonata has the power when I need it and with the front wheel drive handles very well in the snow!

My Sonata

I purchased my Black 2012 Sonata because I was so impressed with the burgundy leather interior! It was a rare interior color and I have only seen one other like it. Everyone comments on the color when they get into my car. The performance of this car is the same as it was the day I drove it off the lot. What I like the most is that I do not have to replace my brakes all the time. I would certainly look at Hyundai for my next vehicle.

I love my Sonata Hybrid

You really can't beat Hyundai for the quality, price and design. My hybrid is solid and truly flawless. I bought it originally because a) it had the best design b) included all the bells and whistles I needed at the right price and c) the financing through Hyundai was second to none. I've loved the service and support I've had since buying it. I would definitely recommend this brand and model of car.

Sonata 2012

I love my car and the excellent service King Hyundai provides! I brought my car brand new six years ago and have never had any issues. It is reliable and looks great!! I absolutely love this car. Not only does it look great but it is very safe. I highly recommend this car and other vehicles by Hyundai. My parents also own the Sant Fe which is just as reliable, beautiful, and safe.

Good car for price paid

Feels good to have a nice looking car to get me to point A to B with no issues rather than the normal oil and tire changes. Friends have more expensive cars and have paid way more out of pocket for repairs in just their first few years compared to my 7 years.

I love my Sonata. It rides so smooth and comfortable and it's great on gas . I will be trying to finance a new Sonota very soon. The mechanics were very helpful and patient with me when I needed repairs . They explained EVERYTHING step by step. They made sure I understood what they were saying.

2012 Hyundai

I love my 2012 Hyundai. It fills all my requirements and gives me an excellent ride. Gas mileage is good too as I get 28 around town and 30+ out on the highway. One happy owner. Will buy another when needed.

My 2012 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid

This car would have been great but it’s been slipping since I bought it in 2015. See below for the rest. Unfortunately this has turned into horror story. The vehicle is nice, just poorly builtI think.

Great car for the price.

I bought my Sonata in 2011. It was my first new car and I was very impressed. The Sonata had great gas mileage. I always average in the mid 30s and it really helps the wallet. The cabin is spacious. I really appreciate that since I am a tall man and it's hard to find ample leg room in other vehicles. The car also rides smooth and has very little road noise. For the price I think the Sonata is one of the best cars around.

It took a long time for me to consider buying a car. I did research online, purchased consumer report magazine and opted for Hyundai Sonata. It has had in my opinion too many recalls. Hyundai has taken care of the issues. However at 50 years of age this is my first brand new car. All the recalls make me feel that as soon as the warranty expires my car will expire with it.??

2012 Sonata

I really enjoy drivibg the vehicle and it's build. The handling is probably amazing and more than I expected. Overall, the vehicle is comfortable for a 5'11ft man. Head room is decent, a little low to the ground but some like that.

Dependable, reliable, great car!

My 2012 Hyundai Sonata has been absolutely fantastic. It runs great, drives well, and still looks pretty new. I've really been surprised at the quality of the fabric interior and stitching. The seats have worn so well and began with a 9 and 12 year old who are now 18 and 15. The only design complaint would be there is no rear air vents in the center column or headliner and it can get rather stuffy in the back seat even with the air on full power. Other than that I love it.

I love my Sonata it rides great! Great gas mileage on the highway,. It is comfortable to sit in and travels well for vacation! I would recommend the car to all my friends and have! It doesn’t have the greatest in town mileage, but mostly I get around 28 to 30 mpg in town!
