Sonata hybrid - beautiful and very efficient.
Very reliable. Handles well in all types of weather. Very comfortable heated seats. Never had any problems with the engine/transmission etc. Always starts. Looks beautiful. Gets great gas mileage. The navigation system is clear to view and very reliable. Lots of radio stations. Also has a help feature if you need emergency assistance.

Has internal issues but otherwise great.
It is has rear backup camera which is helpful for parking and backing up. Moon roof is very big. I have had problems with battery twice and have had to have it services. It is great on gas mileage and can get up to 40 miles per gallon. The car drives very smooth like a luxury vehicle. The driver seat has adjustable lumbar support which it great for long drives. I feel that it is a great family car.

Yes, it is all to know about the sonata hybrid.
I had some issues with the hybrid battery at the beginning but it was cover by the warranty. My car is comfortable, spacious, reliable and I love the modern features inside the car. Seats are comfortable. It runs very smooth and save a lot on gas. The trunk is very big.

Well worth the money to get the hybrid!
This is the best car I have ever owned. It is reliable, comfortable, and has many upgraded features. Because it is a hybrid, it gets excellent gas mileage. It has been very dependable, only needing tires to be replaced and regular maintenance..I strongly recommend this car!

The overall fuel capacity and average of miles per gallon is exceptional.
We love the fuel efficiency it gets on average. Great sound system with the radio/CD player. The seats are all very comfortable and relaxing. I would definitely recommend this vehicle to anyone looking into getting a hybrid vehicle. Hyundai also makes really great vehicles and we have always been satisfied with every vehicle we have owned.

This is a great commuter vehicle. I love how good on gas it is.
It is very comfortable it has everything I need. It is great on gas. There is not much trunk space. There is not a lot of power to it, takes a minute to accelerate. It is very reliable push start up seat warmers, back up cam. Might have to change the battery soon in order to not have problems but it runs very well.

Hybrid is the way to go if you want to save money.
This was the best car purchase I have ever done. It is so reliable, I have never had any issues other than normal wear and tear. I also save so much money on gas every year. It drives so smoothly and feels like you are driving on a cloud most of the time. The trunk space is also really big for the size of the actual car.

My car is whack. It either gets too hot or a flat tire every other week.
It overheats and always has random issues that the dealership struggles to figure out. I brought it in to get my window fixed because it just stopped closing and the dealership told me they would try to fix it and when I got it back it was worse and only opened more. Also, it loves to overheat and just stop in the middle of the road for no reason(which btw the dealership could never figure out) so I brought it in to a mechanic who said it was because my belt was totally shredded and put on completely wrong by whoever made the car. For like three weeks it was great until it just started again lol.

Faulty engine-- not so happy with Hyundai.
The engine failed after 100,000 miles and I had to have it replaced. I have been really frustrated by that. I tried to talk to Hyundai about it and they wouldn't help me out with it. 100,000 miles is not that old and I shouldn't have had a problem like this so early.

Hyundai sonata hybrid for the fast driver.
Has good speed for a hybrid vehicle. The interior is very spacious and has tons of leg room. Good vehicle for a small family that likes to travel. Gas mpg averages at about 35 mpg. Even if you drive aggressively, you would still be saving on gas. Hyundai has good warranties, so you are covered.

Indepth Hyundai sonata hybrid review.
Hyundai sonata is what I needed for an everyday commuter car to work. Gas efficiency is great especially in traffic. I did experience one major electronic issue at around 95k miles that cost around $700. Other than that regular maintenance has kept the car rolling with no other major issues. Not the fanciest vehicle however has the basic bells and whistles I.E back up camera, Bluetooth, power windows.
accountCircle Taylor S
A very practical car for the young professional!
This car is extremely reliable and great for both the young professional and for a small family. The sound system could be better, but I am the type of person who enjoys a good base and somewhat louder sound. The car is also has lots of room and does not very cramped, like several other sedans feel like. All in all I am very pleased with my car.

A car above it is class: Hyundai.
The vehicle makes a lot of noises which might seem like something's always wrong so that bothers me but other than that, the car is sturdy, spacious and looks ahead of its time. It is gray and is kind of long and the seats are comfy about 8/10. They do get hot in the summer.
accountCircle Courtney H
The perfect car for a perfect someone.
It's a gas saver, it is a good car for me since it's my first car I bought. The car can confuse you at times b/c it is an hybrid. But if you had to find a small, affordable car for someone it's this one. The size is not too big or too small it's just right.
