Engine consumes oil in certain years of the Hyundai sonata but the interior is very nice though and it does run smooth. Exterior is also a nice sporty look. Sunroof cover does not seem to shut correctly. Overall, it is a good car and warranty does cover if engine blows due to the oil consumption.

An extremely reliable car.
I have over 100,000 miles and have had zero issues at all. I have only had to do basic maintenance on it. Very reliable, pretty good gas mileage. Smooth ride. Love the Bluetooth compatibility. The car has stayed in great shape and still looks brand new also.

2011 Hyundai sonata se review.
The passenger seat sits too low and cannot be adjusted, even my tall son hates how low it sits. It is not a quiet car; can hear road noise. The car is reliable and Hyundai service department is the best. They replaced the engine in my car at no cost to me.

Review for 2011 Hyundai sonata.
This car isn't super reliable. Something always seems to be wrong. I have had cars older than this one and this one has significantly more problems. It a nice big size sedan that fits a family and car seats in easily. Overall it's not a great car but it also isn't bad! But I will never buy a Hyundai again.

Good car that would be great for many.
Good ride and gas mileage. Very nice car. The only problems I have every had were covered under warranty. I would buy another car from this brand again. There is good room in for all passengers in the car. There is ample room in the trunk to pack for a trip or whatnot. I really enjoy driving this make and model of the car.

Never looks out of date to the current year.
Overall good vehicle. Only reason I rate at a 3 is because my personal vehicle was a rebuilt title, therefore there is some issues. However, I have had the vehicle for a few years and haven't had anywhere motor issues or such. It is a good car. And I love Hyundai.

The 2011 sonata would be a nice vehicle if the electrical side was correct.
I have a 2011 Hyundai sonata. All of my problems with my vehicle are electrical. My gas light goes on and off. I can have my vehicle on a full tank and the gas light will still blink on and off. It is very hard to know if you need gasoline or not if you do not keep track of it. Another problem is the engine light. The engine light will come on even if there is no problem with vehicle. The steering wheel buttons goes in and out. When I take it to be fixed, I am told that there is no problem with the buttons. The charger fuses goes in and out and the USB port loads to play music but does not play. The good things about my car is it drives very smooth and the radio has a nice volume.

I do like (not love) the car.
There have been several 'safety' recalls on this car. The most risky, was the engine failing due to manufacturer issues. My engine stalled on a busy highway. Even after the engine was replaced there was then a safety recall issued about the fuel pump. There was also a recall on the steering wheel (which was not under warranty since it wasn't a safety recall) which causes the steering wheel to shake and rattle.
Caitlin B
on May 18, 2021
Nice car but a lot of recalls.
Great gas mileage on interstate, comfortable and smooth ride. Constant recalls which are annoying and cumbersome, makes me question the safety. Car seat clip a weird shape so it will be near impossible to remove my child’s car seat when the time comes. Seats are angled too so car seats almost do not fit. Could use more space in the back seat. Trunk space is nice.
Yael T
on May 18, 2021
It is a hand me down car that I got for $4,000 of Facebook.
Sometimes it makes these weird noises from the engine. The battery just dies too, it will not start then I have to call my dad to start the car for me. It also shivers a lot during winter. The side view mirrors also fogs up a lot. Even the car keys cannot lock all the doors. It never locks the passenger side door.

Hyundai sonata: reliability and comfort.
My partner has owned our Hyundai sonata for over 7 years and we absolutely love it! We have not had any issues with our Hyundai sonata. It is a very safe car and comfortable to drive long distance in for road trips or for everyday use. This car is very reliable. We've driven all across California, to Nevada and Arizona and it has always been very reliable. It is also very comfortable for long distance road trips! When we have company, 5 people can easily and comfortably fit with more than enough room. We love our Hyundai sonata!
James C

Good and bad of Hyundai sonata 2011.
Front bumper comes off when rubbing off cement sidewalk level. Held by plastic paper clips. Car color and style is great. Drives fine. Nice interior features like Sirius XM and Bluetooth and USB for music. Had issue with wheel bearings - was made of plastic, replaced with metal bearings.
Theresa H
on May 10, 2021
My Sonata great car great mileage I would sincerely recommend it.
Exceptional on gas, very comfortable, nice looking. I love it runs great. Nice interior very comfortable easy to keep clean. I get 22 to 24 miles to gallon in city. And 31 to 33 open road. Great car. Would really recommend to the public. It also a great car for the price.
Giselle M
on May 9, 2021
Hyundai sonata is a big enough vehicle for your family.
I do not have any problems so far. It is a good working car. She is fast even by pressing the gas a bit. She is a good economic car and also is big enough for a family of 4. It has Bluetooth and big spacing in the trunk. And does not need a key to turn on the car and beeps of the key is in a long distance from the car and turns off if they key is out of distance.
Courtney G
on May 8, 2021
Looks great and has a lot of safety features.
The design is sleek and driving us smooth. The features for the price cannot be beat. The trim is nice and the safety features are great. The car is sturdy and looks great on the road. The low profile tires look great going down the road. I love it.
Abigail C

I have the limited se, with heated seats and a sunroof.
Pros: nice, sleek look. Amazing sound quality with subwoofer. Seat warmers in front and back seats is very useful. I have. Sunroof which I love for New England weather. I can have it open on the highways without it being too loud. Cons: no sound insulation, can hear a lot of the road and wind noises. Stereo burnt out after 8 years and had to get engine replaced after 6 years.
Natalie W
on May 6, 2021
My sonata has great gas mileage and is very reliable.
Comfortable and reliable. Good gas mileage and good for long distance travels. The car has comfortable seating with lots of space. Nice big trunk space. It has a good radio system and volume. My car has over 275,000 miles on it and still runs perfect.
Faith P
on May 6, 2021
One feature I really like is the Bluetooth and eco saver!
It is a great car, super comfortable interior, great sound system, amazing horsepower. However I have ran into some issues with it and Hyundai itself. There was multiple recalls I had to get fixed, one of them being the seatbelt, and airbags. It is also extremely low to the ground so if you like being higher up this car is not for you.
Kaitlyn C
on May 6, 2021
All purpose Hyundai sonata.
My sonata is an excellent car for all. For example I got it before I had children and it met all my needs then as it does now. It has plenty of room for car seats with room to spare as well as a very spacious trunk. The radio is also a big plus with the Bluetooth connection it really helps me when I have to multitask it is all around a great car and very easy to keep clean.
Rachel M
on May 4, 2021
Too many recall on this model car.
This car had many recalls. More than I have ever experienced with any other car I have owned before. Also had the same problem with transmission belt more than once luckily while it was still under warranty. The inside is roomy and comfortable and has good gas miles.
Jose S
on May 2, 2021
Comes with Bluetooth availability and GPS.
The Hyundai sonata is a very dependable car. It rarely has problems, however when it does they're kind of pricey. The interior of the car is very nice though. It comes with Bluetooth availability and a built in GPS. As of now, it currently takes me about approximately $30 to fill up the tank which I am somewhat comfortable paying.
Felicity G

2011 Hyundai sonata with a push start.
The headlight bulbs burn out very quickly and the alternator goes out often haven’t had any other serious problems. Has been a very reliable car. The comfort of the car I would give a 8/10 good for long trips or everyday drive, sunroof, touch screen radio, avg 24 gallons city 35 highway!
Mona s
on April 28, 2021
Sonata is very reliable. I purchased in 2010 and the only problem I have had is with the gear shifter needing to be replaced. In 2018.
Reliable vehicle. Good gas mileage. Easy to drive.
Kayla C
on April 28, 2021
Reliable and practical with great gas mileage.
The gas mileage is phenomenal. It is a very smooth ride and I love the sleek look of the exterior. There is plenty of space in the trunk for storage for weekend getaways. There were several issues with the steering column and brake lights, however, all were under recall and did not cost me anything to get these issues fixed.

The perfect family car is the 2011 Hyundai sonata.
I really love my Hyundai sonata. It is very fun to drive and is a great car for family. My fiance and I had our first child almost a year ago and the car has been perfect. We have never had a problem with it and it has always been very reliable. I would highly recommend getting a sonata especially if you are looking for a family vehicle.
Chloe V

2011 Hyundai sonata. 4/5 review.
Electrical problems, replaced the taillight harness (was corroded and burned) airbag light came on (didn't source the problem yet) timing belt possibly broke. Other than that, it was a smooth and nice ride for the 55k+ miles I have had it. It is a basic work car with a few bells and whistles and a lot of interior space.
Nicole T
on April 24, 2021
Perfect first learners car.
Very reliable vehicle. Has lasted me quite a long time, I got the car the year it was made and it is still going good. Holds a lot of gas, able to drive to and from my home and place of work with no problem. The look is sleek and modern, brakes are great. Perfect first car for kids or an all around family car. I taught all my kids how to drive in this car and has kept them safe and has made them comfortable. Highly recommend.
Jessica B
on April 24, 2021
My favorite thing about it is the Bluetooth connection and heated seats.
The sonata is very comfortable. It has ran really well and has heated seats which has been a true lifesaver through pregnancy and for my scoliosis. It's been reliable getting me to and from work and has great trunk space. It's also really safe for my 1 year old.
Kimberly V
on April 24, 2021
A good car for a short person.
The only problem is the wideness of the car and long hood. It performs really well, and the comfort is really nice. The features are great; I can actually see from the back. It is definitely reliable since the performance and the comfortability is well done.
Brandon K
on April 20, 2021
Best reasons to get this car.
The radio malfunctioned during winter season. The windows would also freeze causing to be unable to open them. Also having risk breaking the automatic window. It drove very well on gas though amazing mileage fast and affordable too. With a very sleek design through.
Jennifer M

Hyundai sonata review. Why not to buy.
The battery seems to die more than any car I have had. Having ac problems intermittently last three years, airbag problems, shorts leaks... It has been reliable in terms of running, just a lot of electrical and horn does not work. I would not purchase this vehicle again.
Sadarra F
on April 18, 2021
Rare manual Hyundai driven by a woman.
Runs pretty smoothly, stick shift, Bluetooth system, haven't had any major issues, my emergency brake does not seem as strong as it should but it is working fine. I would like for it to have a sunroof. The engine works great for a used car and I bought it with very low mileage.
Alexis C
on April 17, 2021
It was a good car when I first got it now it's old and falling apart.
The paint is falling off. It jerks when you switch to drive or reverse. The navigation system does not work I am too sure why. But the features are nice. Cruise control is good. I love the heated seats and leather. I love that it is very roomy inside. The ac takes about 10 mins to kick in.
Tiffany B
on April 17, 2021
Sonata se and why not buy it.
This car currently has 10 recalls on it since 2016. Most recent recall was on the engine. I have had problems with this car in the one year I have owned. Bought from a ford dealership. Nice looking car but do not recommend buying. The car does get decent gas mileage and has a good ac unit.
Brittaney W
on April 13, 2021
I love my car! It is a smooth ride!
I love my car. It drives smooth. The only thing I dislike is that it does not weigh much. It is very spacious. I love the Bluetooth function. I would recommend it for a great ride! If you are a student, career person, a parent, or a passenger, you will love the reliability!

Very stylish, great on gas, very fast take off.
I love my car. Good on gas. Stylish. Fits me just perfect. Fell in love with my car as soon as I saw it and test drove it. I would only trade it for a newer model. Great a/c. Great speakers and sound system. Great on the highway. Cheap parts. All my safety recalls were fixed without a problem.

The gas mileage
I have owned this car for a little while now. I have the 2.4L hybrid and I don’t fill the tank up for a whole two weeks at a time which is amazing seeing gas prices are almost $3.00 in Florida as of 2021 right now. The gas to hybrid switch is almost seamless and has plenty of power that for a while I could have sworn it was a 6cyl motor. The Bluetooth and speakers are good quality. The air works amazingly and the dual sunroof is a nice touch even though makes me nervous if something was to crack the whole roof or break it entirely. It is a very quiet car and sometimes I have to turn it off and back on again to make sure it was on. Great features in the dash, like telling you exactly how far you have left on your tank and all the eco info. Came with Sirius but I’m not paying for that when I can have Apple Music a lot cheaper. Comfortable leather seats and lots of room. Which is a plus cause I hate cars that make me uncomfortable I’m six foot, so it’s nice. It also only has 60k miles on it and body is perfect with only a ding in the side from a rock
Joshua H
on April 8, 2021
Great for a first car for someone or a child’s first car.
One of the best features of my car has to be the rear view mirror can dim headlights behind you at night. It also has Bluetooth capabilities. You can also dim the lights inside the vehicle around all buttons in the vehicle. It gets excellent gas mileage as well as an eco mode.
Cory S

Hyundai sonata limited review.
The car drives super smooth. Very roomy in the front driver and passenger seats as well as in the back passenger seats. Stereo sound is good but nothing crazy. Interior is very sleek looking and compliments the exterior wall. Exterior is very sharp looking with great cutouts and aerodynamic looking features.
Amanda H
on April 8, 2021
Hyundai sonata drives well.
The seat belt on the drivers side does have some problems latching but that is it. I have had to have my ac fixed a couple times. It has had a recall on the engine and Hyundai does seem to have a lot of recalls so you need to watch those. Other than that I have loved the car it drives so well.
Nurissa G

2011 Hyundai sonata comfort.
The car is comfortable and convenient. I have not have any major issues with the car. It has been reliable, it is good on gas, it is a good size and has allowed me to commute far distances safely on a day to day basis. I downgraded from an SUV and given the comfort I have not felt a huge difference.
Corinne D
on April 3, 2021
Something others should know about my car is that it does not do too well in snow.
I like the way the car drives, I like the way the controls are set up. I do not like that it makes a lot of noise when in use.

I really enjoy this vehicle. It is comfortable, spacious, and has great gas mileage. I have made several long road trips in this car to visit my family and I have not had any problems so far!
Brandon B

Good car with a good price to go along with it.
Great gas mileage. 214,000 miles. Smooth ride. Very few problems. Easy issues when needed to be fixed. Good trade in value when I do buy new vehicle. Nice options. Would like to have bought the hybrid version. Great car. Hyundai makes a great product, and when there has been a recall, quick fix.
Lauryn L
on March 28, 2021
Runs amazing and the turbo is super quick.
I have had gas tank issues but overall my car has been amazing. Great on gas and drives really well. I believe will last me awhile. All the features including the Bluetooth and sunroof are my favorite. I have had a few light (brake light tail light issues) but nothing I haven't been able to fix.
Joshua C

Hyundai sonata preferences and concerns.
The performance of the Hyundai sonata is daily good and also in gas. Car feature is guided and easy to use. My only problem is the cv axle and the rear lights constantly going out. I have had to replace my light bulbs at least 3x within the past 6 months.
Michelle S
on March 26, 2021
Good everyday car with annoying quirks
For the most part the 201q Hyundai Sonata is a reliable car with decent gas mileage. I can get up to 40 mph on average and with a large gas tank fill up approximately 2-3 a month, 2 times a month being more frequent than 3. Issues I have encountered are problems with the gear shift. You must have the gear firmly in park or the car engine will not start. Sometimes you must forcefully place the gear to make sure the car starts. This has been an ongoing issue and when mentioned during tune ups by the dealer has never been resolved.
Merelyn R
on March 23, 2021
Hyundai sonata 2011 se best car there is, beautiful-affordable-reliable.
I am very much in love with my Hyundai sonata 2011 se car because it is very cheap on gas, with $40 I fill up the tank and it usually lasts me about a week going from home to work Monday-Friday. Not to mention that is very modern looking, I always get asked what year it is and typically they cannot believe is a 2011 vehicle. According to them it is too big to be an se 2011.
Heather S
on March 23, 2021
Get the extended warranty - it's worth it! Pay the extra dollars to get it for sure.
Like the mileage aspect. Hate that there have been so many recalls with this vehicle. Do like the dealership, though.
Mary L
on March 21, 2021
Cheaply made vehicle that needs frequent repairs.
Many recalls, check engine light is always on, difficulties renewing license plates. The electrical system was faulty. The sound system is faulty. It runs and looks ok but it seems like a cheaply made vehicle. This car does not seem like quality, but rather cheap.
Kiwana G

Great on gas/mileage, great on the interstate, smooth ride.
I have not had any problems, this car rides smoothly, this car is good on gas/mileage, very reliable, the seats are comfortable and can be adjusted, mirrors are adjustable, the car is Bluetooth compatible, CD player, plenty of legroom, dashboard display when tires need air, flashing seat belt indicator.
Thedio P

Perfect sedan model for big horsepower and smooth steering wheel control.
I put on over 150 thousands miles on it but still it works just fine and runs really very smooth. Never had wither engine problem or any other engine related problems. Performance, comfort was just perfect. I will likely to buy latest model of Hyundai sonata.
John L

The review of the red dragon aka my sonata.
The car runs pretty smoothly. Has about 85k miles and brakes needed replaced. Surprisingly spacious inside, very futuristic cut look, back seat and trunk are huge! Was a problem with power steering recall but it was fixed, Hyundai is a good company.
Asizianna M
on March 17, 2021
The Hyundai sonata is a great car and I would recommend it to anyone!
I love my car. Far as problems I have minor problems with backup camera and connecting my cell phone music to the car speaker but other than that no other problems. Far as performance it drives very smooth and picks up speed fast. Definitely reliable due to the fact I drive it to and from work everyday and it has not let me down yet.
Lee M
on March 17, 2021
It is a great value. It is a wonderful girl and will give you an amazing ride.

My vehicle is white with a tan interior. It includes hands free talking.
My vehicle is a good starter car. I am 18 years old and I love this car, I wouldn't take any other. My car has some pretty cool features like Bluetooth, windows that will roll by itself, a decent sized trunk, and a beautiful interior. The only thing that is bad is my tires keep letting air out. I am not sure if it's my fault or if it's the make of the tire but over all my car does not have problems and I really enjoy driving it.
Ty M
on March 15, 2021
A fantastic car with a sharp body style that I think is timeless.
I have had my car since 2014 and it is been a great car overall. It does have it is fair share of maintenance and repairs but it has been reliable and a great car to drive for over 6 yrs now. It is very comfortable in my opinion compared to many others I tested drove and it gets fabulous gas mileage. I love having the turbo engine but I have had to replace the part once since my purchase. It is a fully loaded car and I appreciate all the amenities I have got, such as back up camera, satellite radio, heated seats, sunroof, leather. I highly recommend this sharp looking car.
Mic V
on March 14, 2021
My car is a 2011 Hyundai sonata
Vehicle runs well. Just maintenance the vehicle. I know the 2011 are having engine problems when they reach between 50k to 60k. The 100k or ten year warranty helps!
Ev C
on March 13, 2021
I like how it is very fast and can be used for many things.
Very reliable, very fast, and has good gas mileage the color is really nice and the car is very good for hauling many passengers around even though it is only 5 seats it can take it and has a lot of room in the trunk, also had a very good audio and sound system with big subwoofers that shake the car and has a very good ac system.
Wallace O
on March 13, 2021
Prepare to punch the gas and go nowhere!
I have always liked and driven Hyundais. In fact, I've had several Sonatas. This one is their hybrid version - and I just don't like it. It's very underpowered. And the "Blue Drive" is terrible. Causes most of the performance issues as it "thinks" about how to be economical.
James T
on March 12, 2021
Reliability, smooth ride and good on gas.
We bought this car new. It has 155, 000 miles. We have replaced a clock spring and maf sensor along with regular maintenance.
Patricia Z
on March 12, 2021
Worst car I have ever owned.
The rack and pinion has been replaced two times because of a defective attachment and the manufacturer will not admit there is a defect, also went to a high pressure car wash and the paint started flying off. Because of the defect also front tires need replacing often.
Liz S
on March 11, 2021
It is safe and gets good gas mileage.
I love the way it drives and the interior of the car is beautiful and comfortable. I do not like that it rattles at 80 mph on the highway, also I do not like that sometimes I have issues with the start button.
Joe G
on March 10, 2021
Electrical issues are a headache.
Electrical issues have been a headache. Radio to the taillight. Radio you cannot put to loud or it will go off and on. The lights would rotate on which ones go off and most recently the rear light would not stay on but would work when I press the brakes had a cop point that out to me.
Tina L
on March 9, 2021
The sunroof and the free recall.
Has to many safety recalls. Engine with less than 120 thousand miles, air bag, steering wheel system. Cars been at Hyundai for over 6mo. For new engine to be installed. Engines coming from japan and takes a while to be installed due to all the recalls and the overseas shipments.
Kimberly K
on March 9, 2021
Great on gas. Easy to maintain. Hides dirt very well if unable to wash.
I think my car is efficient on gas and very reliable. Great mid size car and has good horsepower for a day to day travel. Love this car.
Destiny C

Love my car. It runs well, is decent on gas and is reliable. It did have a weird issue once.. The starter fork broke, but it was a fluke.
Chelsey D

As previously mentioned, I love the turbo motor and the push to start function.
Well, I wasn't told about the multiple recalls and unfortunately just a few months ago had the motor replaced which was an act of congress to get them to finally do! Other than this, I cannot really complain =) I love the turbo! And I also love the push to start!
Aissatou A

Hyundai sonata noise problem.
Smooth ride, it has high fuel economy, it's very comfortable and there's a lot space for my kids. Its is not expensive at all very cheap to maintain, the thing I like most about my car is its color I love the blue color it has. I like the sound of my music when it's playing out loud. The only downside is the engine but we had it replace by the company.
James G
on March 4, 2021
Started out as a win and then...
Loved the car initially. The biggest complaint I have is that I have had numerous recalls. All were dealt with but that does not make me feel safe overall. Also, my microphone has failed before 100k miles and so did my drivers side window. The longevity of the electronics is not up to par as to what I would expect.
Jared K
on March 3, 2021
Hyundai sonatas features vs. Failures.
Gas mileage is decent. My main issue is the amount of recalls on this vehicle, most notably the engine seizing randomly while driving on the highway because of a fuel line leak. It is a nice car aesthetically, but has major functioning issues. Also, little things like the steering wheel peeling at less than 80000 miles.
Kyle T
on March 2, 2021
Hyundai sonata is durable and filled with great features!
I really enjoyed owning my vehicle. It is trustworthy and very durable, despite lots of potholes driving around my community. Cruise control is great, often almost unnoticeable and very silent which is awesome. I enjoy the steering-wheel controls and center console. Features are exactly what I use and want in a vehicle.
Sherry D
on March 1, 2021
Great car for gas mileage.
This car gets very good gas mileage. The seats are not very comfortable and the headlights are not very bright for nighttime. The passenger seat height cannot be adjusted and the seat has to be moved forward or backward with a metal bar (it is not electric).
Isaiah C
on February 27, 2021
Longevity, and read this if you want an honest review.
Good sound speakers, does okay on gas and seats are comfy. The car is roomy enough and does well on road trips. It is had some minor mechanical issues but for the most it does well. Great trunk space. One thing I do not like is it does not have a sunroof and I am a big fan of that. Other than that it is a good car and will last a long time.
Brandon M
on February 25, 2021
It was a sleek smooth driving car that turns the wheels so easily.
I'd like to say that for the most part this car is very sleek and drives very smooth. The interview was very nicely put together with a great sound system as well. The windows I never had trouble with even in the cold winter. Normally they got stuck in most cars but not this one. Though the factory that made this same car resulted in issues with the engine. A factory default in the engine building left shrapnel in the engine so it had an engine recall. But for the most part a very comfortable driving car.
Dianne S

Heidi M
on February 25, 2021
Good car, but lots of little issues.
There have been lots of recall issues with this vehicle, however Hyundai seems eager to fix the problems. I do appreciate the quick fixes, however the issues have been large enough to disruptive moments in our life. Engine failure. Airbag failure. My car stalled out of me, completely shutting off, while driving 40mph on an exit ramp. Scary.But it was a recall and new engine replaced.
Trish B
on February 22, 2021
If economy is what your seeking. . .
It is a nice car, with great gas mileage for it is price point. However the seats are not very comfortable. The passenger seat does not adjust at all, and sits way too low.
Phani K
on February 21, 2021
The Hyundai sonata vaults itself to the top of the class.
Engine choices for the new sonata include a 2.4-liter inline-4 or a 2.0-liter turbocharged variant. The base engine is really all most buyers will ever need, as it makes a robust 198 horsepower (200 in the se trim) and returns a thrifty 26 mpg combined when matched to a six-speed automatic. In addition to delivering both brisk performance and high fuel mileage, this drive train exhibits a refined demeanor. The turbo ramps up performance with 274 hp and amazingly returns nearly identical combined fuel economy.

How the Hyundai sonata runs.
The check engine light is stuck on and the is a rattle sound when you past 70 on the right side. The car has lots of room and a very roomy truck.. The low tire pressure usually comes on when the weather is cold.. The car good on gas especially with the eco option.

Reliable without any problem. It is good for every day commute.
Since I bought the vehicle, I have not had any major problem. The minor issue I have is that the AC doesn't start cold.

Smooth middle sized car. I love the way it looks and feels.
I love my car for the most part. I did have to change the starter after a few month after buying it. It is a 2011 with 119,000 when I first purchased it. The crazy part is my boyfriend has the same car and the same thing happened to him as well. Usually when something happens to my car, it affects his car as well. It is a very comfortable car in my opinion and smooth. Not too big or too small. Pretty reliable for the most part but I prefer my old Hyundai accent. I would give it 3/5.

Pretty solid car, but not flawless.
The Hyundai sonata is a decent car for the most part. It is a 4-cylinder and is very good on gas; I get about 33-35 mpg on the highway and 26-29 mpg on city streets. It accelerates to high speeds quickly when I enter the freeway. Also, the interior is comfortable and easily fits my family of 5. However, I have come across some problems with this car. Mine has an electrical problem where my lights stay on when the doors are closed and the switch is between on/off. And when I fill gas for the tank, the pump almost always stops even though the tank's not even full. So I wouldn't conclude that this is the most reliable car, but it does the job well.

My quiet place. My Sonata is where I think. It is comfortable and roomy.
I have had my Sonata for 7 years and have not had any major issues. I keep up with the regular maintenance and it runs great. My car is so comfortable and has drives so smooth. Just this year I drove to AZ, a 5 hour drive, and enjoyed every minute in my car. The warranty is real. My steering wheel started peeling two years ago and when I took it to the dealership to find out the cost, they said it was covered. I would purchase another Sonata.

Sonatas look slick and drive comfortably!
The exterior is slick and it drives smoothly. I have had a few problems with it burning oil very quickly, but it has helped to put in my own oil regularly. It has been reliable while traveling and moving. Overall, a pretty nice quality car for a very inexpensive price.

Smooth riding car with great performance. Reliable in all types of weather.
Great pick up for a v6. Rides very smooth. Haven't had many issues with it, but it has been subject to three recalls. It is very reliable. Able to drive it 7 hours straight with no issues. Great gas mileage. The stick speaker system sounds great with really great bass. Does not need any aftermarket tailoring because it is a great car as is.

Sleek black with tan interior.
Over 250k miles and no major repairs. Very reliable and has held its value over the years. Only issue I have had is just recently the ac started to go. I am also very tall 6’8” and I fit very comfortably in this car. I do however wish they were better about updating the GPS system, it is missing a lot of roads built within the last 3 to 4 years.

2011 sonata my personal opinion on this car.
Bought this car 6 months ago it is very reliable, spacious, USB, Bluetooth, ac, heating is good, ,excellent performance, love that it is easy on gas. The only thing I would have liked is a rear camera. Other than that I love this car, no problems. Would recommend Hyundai to all my friends and family.

Cheap but great gas mileage.
Feels cheap. Have had one issue after another to fix. On the positive side, my mechanic skills have improved. Great gas mileage on the highway, but not a lot of space inside. The screws holding the fairing in the wheel wells rusted off and the fairing starts rubbing in the tires. Have to take it the rest of the way out.

The car has plenty of space Has really good gas mileage definitely when driving on the highway Easy to maintain and keep up with
I have it for about two and a half years it's a good car but now I keep running into mechanical problems most of them are just normal stuff that you have to periodically fix the car can be loud sometimes when going over bumps but overall is a very reliable car and I would recommend it to other people

The amazing Hyundai sonata.
The Hyundai sonata is an amazing car. Performance wise it is smooth, I can always rely on my car. The comfort is amazing, specially with two kids. It is a safe and beautiful car. So far I have not ran into any issues with my car however the only downside is that this car eats up lots of oil so I have had to get the oiled changed many times.

Hyundai sonata the economy car you'll love.
The sonata is great on gas, it is comfortable, and reliable. I have not replaced anything major, just regular maintenance. The ac system works fantastic and the stereo has good quality sound. The vehicle is roomy enough for 5 and can get a bit cramped though if you are a tall person in the back seat.

Nice little sports car but actually is just a family car.
It has some electrical issues and quite a few minor recalls but it is good with everything else has excellent crash tests ratings. I actually met a man that had a Sonata just like mine and wrecked it. He hit a tree and rolled the car at least 2 times and only had a stiff neck. Has great gas mileage as well.

Sonata review: excellent choice.
Been a very reliable and dependable vehicle. Would purchase Hyundai again in the future. Great drive, safe, no problems. Even though mine is an older model, the features are still current. The sunroof is stylish, the Bluetooth makes traveling easy and fun, and there's plenty of room.

Hyundai sonata the gas saver, and family outing taker!
I love my car, it is great on gas and very comfortable to ride in. It is a smooth ride, and the eco feature really helps a lot to save you on gas! I haven't really had any major problems with it, and it is been a good car to say the least! You wouldn’t go wrong buying this car, it is roomy as well, and perfect for family trips.

The car is dependable and easy to maintain.
We have been very happy with our sonata. It is roomy enough inside for a longer drive time comfort ability standpoint. The ride is that of a medium size that is a little heavier. The gas mileage and maintenance are reasonable.

Gas mileage, Bluetooth, big back trunk.
Very large on inside and runs good. I love the Bluetooth feature on it and the very large back seat. Amazing on gas. I get 30 mph which is a huge plus. Costs about 45$ to fill it up every two weeks. Great car love it! Definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a fast, safe and realizable car. Also great first car for teens.

If your brake light is not connected, your car will not start.
I love the sunroof, gps navigation, and the Bluetooth. It gets good gas mileage. I hate all the recalls. I have had almost 10 recalls on it in the past 3 years.
