Best car ever

I love my car because it's stylish and I fit in it! The warranty is the absolute best in the world, who does a warranty for 100,000 miles? I mean OMG!!!!! I love Hyundai and all their cars but mine has been nothing short of a dream.

First time owning a hybrid. Love gas mileage. Car is comfortable, nice size.

Sonata Hybrid is a good size, comfortable, easy to drive though the drop to battery is a little difficult to get accustomed to but love gas mileage. Overall we enjoy this vehicle and would consider owning another.

Good value

Mechanically, my Sonata has been great. I make sure i do the basic maintenance regularly. However, I have not enjoyed the driving experience. My 2012 sits way too low. If the sun is facing me, the visors don't block it because the seats are so low to the ground. The car tends to be lout when running. Also my antenna cover came off. Radio works though but they don't sell the cover alone. Have to buy a whole new antenna for over $500!! Unfair to customers, Hyundai !!

I LOVE my Sonata!!!

I was a little skeptical about buying a Hyundai because of the bad reviews they got years ago BUT my husband did his research and this is the car I ended up with and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE it!!!! The suspension isn't that great but that only bugs my husband. I will definitely be purchasing another Hyundai in the future when I pass this one on to my daughter.

An Outstanding Vehicle for anyone

I purchased this car because my 1999 Lincoln was giving me a lot of trouble. My reason for choosing the Sonata was the 5-star safety rating - very important to me because I love my family and friends -and the amazing blue color. This car is fabulous; the trunk space is impressive, the seating is comfortable, it has good mileage and is a virtual BEAST on the road. I drive out of state on a regular basis and the car performs extremely well. It's also fun to drive and readily executes on command. It is surprisingly deceptive as it appears to be small, but is actually a large car with a lot of room inside with good sized storage compartments. The Sonata seats passengers comfortably, even my tall brother loves the ride. The dog has good floor space in the back and loves to just lay quietly during the ride with me and the girls. My granddaughters love this "blue car" and want their mom be get one just like it. Initially, I was hesitant on the Hyundai purchase due to the not-so-good past reviews and because I have always been a Ford lady, but this car could not be overlooked. I'm happy I gave it a chance and have not once regretted my decision.

Sonanta = Happy Driving

My last car was a German car of the highest level cost. I replaced it with a 4 cylinder, turbo-charged Hyundai Sonata at a third of the cost. The Sonata has most of the same features, provides better fuel usage, drives sportier with quick acceleration (when needed) and give me one, spectacular and useful feature that was new to me - rearview camera when in reverse. This feature made the biggest difference for me. It shows where I am headed backwards in a straight line and, more importantly, where the car was in relation to other objects when I have to maneuver into a parking space or around some other, stationary object.. AND, the camera showing was accurate - the lines on the screen curve perfectly. The Hyundai service dealers ( I have used two - due to a move) are understanding, cooperative and pro-active. Service prices are reasonable, especially when compared to servicing my last car. Try a Hyundai out - you'll probably love it. My friends have! And they are now owners.

I love my car. It is reliable, nice, comfortable and smooth ride. They made it possible for me to get the car and I'd recommend Fairfield Hyundai to anyone who is looking for a good used reliable car.

Jo Anne's Sonata Limited

I have researched a lot of cars. Hyundai is at the top of the list for safety and warranty; So, since I loved my 2012 Sonata Limited so much, I bought a brand new 2018 Sonata Sport. I initially hoped to purchase another Sonata Limited. Simmons-Rockwell tried hard to find me one "available" with the specifications and color I desired; And, they were successful; But, each time, that specific Sonata Limited was being driven by someone at those other dealerships. I guess thats confirmation that the Sonata is an excellent choice. In any case, I knew I wanted another Sonata; So, I went with one of the Sports S&R had on their lot. It was a give and take; And, even though I settled, for the next best thing, I still love my 2018 Sonata. It is classy and sharp looking. The only thing I would change about Hyundai is that, if all else fails, they would actually let you build and order the Hyundai you desire. Oh...I guess I would ask one more thing of Hyundai. Please bring back the panoramic roof. I loved it on my 2012 model and think it would have looked especially sharp on the new body style. ...Jo Anne...
