Vehicle

I love my 2012 Sonata. I enjoy the comfort and the ride of the vehicle. It has a lot of get up and go for a 4 cylinder vehicle. I enjoyed the style, the roominess of the interior and I love my panoramic roof.

Sweet ride

The Sonata overall is great. Trunk space, gas mileage, and ease of parking are all awesome. I only gave 4 stars because I miss having a larger vehicle for the space! If you're in the market for a car though, this is a sweet ride!

Sonata

I bought my 2012 Sonata in 2011 and I still have it and I have not had any problems out of it. My oil has been changed every 3000 miles. It has 130,000 miles on it now and it still drives and rides like it did when I drove it off the lot. I would definitely buy another Sonata!

Great car

This is my second Sonata and am overall well pleased with the car. My only disappointment was that the Sirius XM was not included in the package and I had to buy an add on satellite radio for travel and enjoyment of my music and sports. The vehicle handles well and is getting good gas mileage. If this car is as good as the last on I do not expect any issues over the life of the car.

2012 vehicle is my 3rd Hyundai Sonata

I purchased my 1st Sonata in 2004. My wife still drives that vehicle. I purchased my 2nd Sonata in 2007. I gave it to my son after several years of good service. 2012 Sonata Limited is my 3rd Hyundai. I take good care of my cars, replacing the engine oil, oil filter and air filter regularly. I drive my cars under normal conditions and never abuse them and never push the limits. So far I am very pleased with Sonata quality, technical design and ergonomics. I am also very pleased with the warranty, timely recalls and dealership response.

Hyundai Sonata

I loved my Hyundai Sonata. I am sorry to say the day after servicing it was totaled in an accident. Now I will return to Sport Hyundai to replace my car and visit my salesman.Hopefully I will find a car there to meet my needs.

Best car ever

I love my 2012 Sonata it's a blessing that I just passed it down to my 17 year old son as i upgraded to a 2019 Tucson.The size of the Sonata is perfect not too small it's just right.You can't even tell when its running it's so quiet.

This is the best car I’ve owned!

This is the best car I’ve owned. I’ve had a Buick, Suburu, Chevy Tahoe, and several other make of cars over the years. This has been the best. This cars comfort, handling, and virtually maintenance free capability has sold me on the brand. My Sonata is a 2012 and still looking and rides great. The tires lasted so long, I bought the same tires again from Voss Hyundai. Love my car!

2012 Sonata Turbo

This car we bought almost new, very little miles from previous owner. No regrets, so happy with it. We have travelled to New York once and twice to California and the long trip was not tiring due to the comfort of the seats. Car never has once left us on the road, very reliable, great quality.

2012 Sonata 2.0T

Compared this car in value with foreign vehicles such as a comparable BMW and Mercedes while looking for a replacement for a Pontiac Gran Prix GTP. Initially the wife did not want or was not interested in the purchase of a Hyundai, but I did extensive comparison shopping through multiple websites and links. The bang for the buck was clearly evident here and once having driven it, totally impressed with the 4 cylinder power that it delivered. The GTP she was coming out of was equally as powerful as the wife has a heavy foot and loves powerful cars. This little 4-banger delivers. Having bought the car new, we have had maintenance free other than tires and oil changes for more than 7 years now. This car will be handed down to our newest driver soon, but frankly I will drive it till the wheels fall off if allowed!

Hybrid battery is very concerning.

It took awhile for the technicians at a Hyundai dealership to figure out that my car needed a new hybrid battery replacement. It's very concerning because my car shut off on it's own various times in the middle of busy highways. It could've turned into a big liability issue if any of my loved ones would've gotten hurt because of this issue. Hyundai needs to train their technicians better for quicker diagnostics on hybrid cars. Don't want anybody out there going through the same stress I did because of the hybrid battery.

This 2012, and 2011 have a terrible history. Do your home work before you buy used.

Official recalls have been issued for the 2012 Hyundai Sonata by the NHTSA. There are 8, and the Engine is a major one which Hyundai fought them on. A midsize sedan that looks like a high-end luxury car, has a 10-year/100,000-mile power-train warranty Do your homework, or else.

My 2012 Sonata Hybird

This actually is a pretty good car and competitor of similar sedans. It has a lot going on with the battery packs, starting system, etc. Loaded with extras and comfort, rides well. The maintenance schedule could be written better for a realistic world. Particularly the expression "normal conditions", REALLY!! I can not picture a location that would be the case. By description, it is always serve conditions. Good thing the after market products are generally better today. Would I buy another, maybe. To many recalls and too many issues not recognized/acknowledged by the brand. If you want to be number one, better pay attention to who (consumers) puts you there.
