2018 Hyundai sonata is the best
I love the way it runs and the performance of the way it looks from the inside and out. It has turbo features to make it sporty and unique from many other cars. The price is definitely worth everything and I was not disappointed in what I invested it has been a good car

Hyundai sonata and the impressive fuel economy.
Generally, I like this car. The price is reasonable for me, and I love hybrid cars. Gas mileage is super important to me, not just for money, but for the environment too. I feel like this car has a great fuel economy. The vehicle is pretty comfortable, but there’s a little room for improvement.

The sonata is a great reliable car, good on gas and very comfortable.
The paint chipped easily, it has a sport mode and an eco friendly mode. It's quite reliable, Spanish. Has wonderful seat warmers, moonroof, and great trunk space. It is really good on gas for long drives for work or vacations. It's great for a small family.

What I like about my vehicle is I has an inside TV with the remote so I can.
It has mirror view problems I need to get a new one because it is lose and also the doors lately haven’t been closing automatically. Also the windows do not want to go down or up its. I saw the radio and the GPS screen machine turns off every time the battery is dead so like every time I have to recharge the battery of the car I have to put an eight type of code to make sure the radio and the GPS machine works. The battery of this vehicle wears off and dies really quickly.

Great car. Great features. Great price.
Had some initial issues with infotainment and cooling system. All was repaired under warranty with no issues. We love the gas mileage, features and comfort. Hyundai provides great options for the price. The sonata hybrid is averaging 43 mpg and we get over 600 miles per tank of gas.

It's a beautiful electric blue. Its looks sporty and doubles as a luxury vehicle.
I love my sonata sport. It has a sunroof, leather seats, and push start (my favorite). The gas mileage is average at best. I also like the hands free features. Most of the controls are conveniently located on the steering wheel. My only issue is the acceleration. I constantly keep it in sport mode just to keep up with traffic. Comfort mode has an extremely slow take off and is annoying at best.
