Stuck paying for a junk pile
Had my engine lock up on a busy highway with no warning indication. I sat in my car for 2 hours in 100+ heat waiting for the dealership to come tow me. I had the car for only two weeks. Engine recall. Hyundai kept my car for over a month before deciding that they had to fix it cost free. Was told they had no loaner cars even though my friend was given one a few days after i was told no. Lost my job due to no transportation (i drive for a living.)My check engine light NEVER comes on before a problem occurs. I have had problem after problem since the engine replacement. Breaks grind (all new pads and such) and won't "catch" when I go to stop. Caused me to hit a Great Pyrenees. Unfortunately that baby died and my car is very dented. The electrical system goes haywire. I have to replace headlights and taillights every few weeks. I now have 3 new tickets because of the taillights/headlights that I can't pay. My shifter slips out of gear. When I try to accelerate the car seems very sluggish and has trouble shifting to the next gear. Rpms run high on idle. Used to have ok gas mileage until the engine replacement, now im lucky to get 18 mpg. This car has less than 80,000 miles on it. I've tried to talk to the dealership that fixed it and can't seems to get a call back. Car had one previous owner. My application to switch ownership for blue link or to use myhyundai.com was blatantly ignored or discarded. Then found out that starting January 1st blue link for the car will be shut off permanently. This car is a nightmare. I found the class action lawsuit and can't get a response or call back to see if we qualify. Oh, I forgot to mention...I have only had this car since June of 2021. This all has been over a few months. I miss my Honda hr-v (best sporty mom car in the world.)

Very reliable, I would recommend this car to anyone.
I bought this car new. I haven't had any problems with it yet. It runs great, it handles nice. I keep the maintenance up on it every year. Regular oil changes every 5000 miles. It has all the normal features, automatic windows, heated seats, it is an automatic and drives nice. It is silver and in great shape. I have 156,000 miles on it and it still starts every morning.

Why I am in love with my Hyundai sonata.
My car is wonderful on gas which is really a plus as I have to do a lot of running around. It is a mid sized vehicle that has plenty of space for my family of 4. I have fairly tall sons and they are never uncomfortable on long rides. The navigation system really comes in handy when I am unable to use the GPS on my phone. I have a sunroof that opens slightly or I can open it all the way up. I use the tilt feature more often than the slide feature. It is a push button start which took some getting used to because I would always forget my keys in the car or forget to press the button to turn it off. My favorite feature is the slot to insert the key fob, which is located inside the center console, should your battery die and the car cannot recognize the key to start the vehicle. My battery died when I was out once and thank goodness for that slot!

A blazing black hot rod 2012 sonata.
The 2012 sonata really drives and runs great as advertised. It is a very reliable vehicles it has never broken down, it gets anywhere from 25 to 30 miles per gallon in the gas tank. It is very spacious in the back for my daughter and her 1 million toys. Overall this vehicle is very nice and heat for a family.

2012 Hyundai Elantra is a fantastic car for the money.
It is, a fantastic car. Great gas mileage. It is super easy to drive. The back seat is roomy also. Only issue we have has are with the headlights seemingly burning out a, little quicker than with previous car. The battery lasted over 3 years which living in a, warm climate seemed very good I would buy this brand of a vehicle again.

Great economic car, with reliability to get to where you need to go.
One of the good cars out there, reliable, spacious, great with gasoline, very reliable have taken a couple of long distance trips with no problems. Maintenance on the car is very low just needs routine care. Great car for everyday use. All in all great car.
accountCircle Colby W on June 13, 2021
One of the more comfortable cars I have ever driven.
The issues are very minimal. I find that sometimes the sunroof needs to be reseated so no wind noise is heard above your head. The sound system is great. The drivability is very smooth and comfortable. The noise level inside the car is comfortable. There is cupholders everywhere and Sirius XM came included with the car.

I love my Hyundai sonata 2.0t!
I love my Hyundai sonata 2.0t! It is beautiful and so comfy. I have enjoyed several hours-long road trips without issue. The speed and quick acceleration are handy for getting away from unsafe situations and also just fun. I find the maintenance to be incredibly easy and affordable, whether that be taking it in for an oil change or changing the brake pads myself. Refueling is also relatively affordable with the decent gas mileage.

Hyundai sonata. Sky blue with expensive wheels.
It is really a good car. Picks up speed at a 4 sec. It really come with a nice cool sound system. Have been using it for over 2 years now and the engine still sounds real good. Shocks are still okay and maintenance is very cheap. And fuel too. It is a 4 piston engine so it really does not consume but that does not mean it does not speed up.

This car is affordable quality.
The only issue that I have with this car is that it has had quite a few recalls on it. Other than that, I find this car extremely comfortable. It has plenty of room but is still compact. It is very easy to drive and extremely reliable. The seats even have adjustable lumbar support. Extremely practical for a small family as well as extremely affordable.

Why I love my Hyundai sonata!
I have really enjoyed my Hyundai sonata. It has been a reliable car to me and I have had it for over 5 years now. The overall comfort of the car is good as well. I always take it on long car rides because the back seats are very spacious and can carry all of the luggage or family members if they are coming along. I have only had a couple problems with my car but nothing very serious. My overall impression on the car has been good.
accountCircle David B on May 23, 2021
An incredibly reliable car.
This car is extremely reliable. The only issues that have been posed with this vehicle are the tremendous amount of dealership recalls. I have had to take my vehicle into the dealership on multiple occasions to have parts replaced as a result of the manufacturer. Aside from that, the car has great gas mileage, never has problems running and performs well.
accountCircle Tyler S on May 22, 2021
More in the vehicle then you would expect.
I really enjoy my sonata. It has a screen display as well as Bluetooth for music or phone calls. It also has added auxiliary plug in, as well at a USB port. There are cup holders in all doors. It offers an adjustable lumbar support button on the driver seat which is really nice when my back starts hurting on long drives.
accountCircle Tyrone R on May 14, 2021
Surprisingly agile car for the price segment, but too many issues.
Comfort wise, the car is ok. The seats are a perfect hybrid of leather and cloth, made for long term trips. There are plenty of features for a car in this price range. One of the most important are the paddle shifters. They turn what looks like an ordinary economic car into a somewhat sportier sedan. Acceleration from a stand still when shifting gears is way better than something you should expect when using something from this car segment. However, that is where the praise stops. The cars in this generation for Hyundai have engine issues, electrical issues, and oil burning issues. Reliability is horrible. I was driving on the highway in the left lane doing 70 miles per hour when the engine suddenly failed. I almost died trying to float over to the right shoulder. After I finally got the engine replaced, the battery died. 3 times. Then the alternator. Then the fuel pump went bad. I had the car for a total of 5 months at this point.
accountCircle Bailey C on May 14, 2021
Great car. Insured. Bad on gas if in a city.
All around great car. It does burn gas more if I stay in the city. The engine is insured so if it breaks they will replace it. The navigation system is good and always working. It is helped me when my phone is out of service. Plenty of room in the front.

Hyundai sonata is reliable.
The sonata has been a fairly stable and reliable car over the past 8 years that I have had it. Other than some minor issues, including a wheel clicking noise and some tire pressure instances, the car runs smoothly and is a good car for traveling to and from work and school. It can hold a good amount of people and is sleek looking.

Reliable car with good gas mileage.
I bought my car brand new. I have owned my car for 8 years. It has been reliable and comfortable for my family. I enjoy the gas mileage. It is usually about 25-30 mpg in the city. I especially like that I can monitor the gas mileage on the dashboard.

2013 Hyundai sonata is a great family car.
I have had issues with the lights on the front and the back. We ended up having to replace the entire light component. The car drives smoothly, gets great gas mileage, and is very comfortable. Back seat passengers have plenty of space for their legs. I have had very little issues with this car.

A lot of room, great gas mileage, and appealing to the eye.
My vehicle is very dependable and has excellent gas mileage. It is big for a sedan and has plenty of room for passengers. The gas mileage in eco mode is also a huge added benefit to this model. The only issue I have had with it is it drains batteries quicker than other cars I have driven.

Electrical issues, but besides that, I love the car.
Serious electrical issues that are very expensive to fix. The car is pretty reliable besides that and has nice features and comfortable seats. The best feature would be the Bluetooth ability for the radio and there is also the aux option. I enjoy how large the car is.

Not best quality but overall satisfied.
I feel as though my car has gone through many problems over the years and have never really said I love my car. It doesn't really feel like a smooth drive nor quiet. The inside of the car itself is great very spacious and storage. I love having a sunglasses holder as well. The back seat is great too, it even has a drop down console for drinks.

Vet dealership carefully and research vehicle recall history.
Recall in 2016 due to metal shards in engine. Dealer replaced engine free of charge. They also paid for a rental car. Brought recall to their attention when we received the notice. They have a poor inspection. Had problems a few months later. Loud engine knocking Ave car was not drivable. Brought car back to the dealer. Took four months to fix it, but they paid for the rental car.

A great review on a great car.
The car is very reliable. I was in a fender bender once and there wasn't much damage. Turbo works well and gives a great boost, but you can't beat it or you'll have some issues like I did and had to replace the wastegate. Interior and exterior is beautiful with leather heated seats included in front and back. The full sunroof adds a nice touch to the look of the car and gives a great view to passengers in the back. The car drives smoothly and has a good mile per gallon average. I would recommend this car to anyone that wants to buy it.
accountCircle William B on April 23, 2021
Fair car, with a good look, a decent value.
It breaks down too often and the electronics do not work that well. The doors on my car are broken. Also, the locking system does not work very well. There have been a few too many repairs for my taste. The car does run pretty well but I had to replace the starter.

Sonata Hyundai performance reviews.
Honestly, this car has been great. It is taken me across the nation reliably. My only complaint is the amount of recalls that have happened in the past. There have been 8 in two years. Around 8 years old I have started running into some maintenance issues. But overall nice car.

2012 Hyundai sonata is a dream!
I have had zero issues with reliability on this car. I took this car across country and it handled it perfectly. The car gets good gas mileage for year as sometimes I average up to 36 mpg. It has automated seats which is amazing for a 2012. It handles incredibly smoothly too.

2012 Hyundai sonatas are filled with recalls.
Shortly after purchase the engine was under recall, had to be replaced and was without car for 5 months. Rental was provided another nightmare. Dealership was useless. I wouldn't buy a Hyundai again, ever. Purchasing a new car soon, just not sure of brand.

Best trunk space ever, would recommend this vehicle.
My car is absolutely wonderful. I have driven many cars, but none are as comfortable as this one. The trunk is huge, the seats are comfortable, I just wish that living in the south I hadn't gotten black interiors because it holds heat. This car is super reliable, and has not ever given me any major problems. I have driven it all the way around the country and it worked wonders (and even off road more than I probably should)!
accountCircle Hettie H on April 10, 2021
Dependable and everyday driver's car.
The Hyundai sonata is reliable. The plastics are a bit cheap; our dashboard is showing cracks. The trunk floor is flimsy. The electrical steering makes is difficult to drive in a straight line because of a 'stiff spot' in the center of the steering wheel rotation. The rest of the car is behaving impeccably. The known engine failure has not hit us yet and the knock sensor upgrade has been done. Overall, we like the car.
accountCircle Brandon F on April 10, 2021
Good value for your money.
First of all the feel of the car is great. I am fairly tall so a roomy interior with enough space for me to not feel cramped or boxed in was a must. The sonata delivers on that and the interior looks pleasing to the eye as well. Gas mileage, which was another major concern of mine is also great. The warranty has even saved me the few times things went wrong with the car.
accountCircle Daryl R on April 7, 2021
I would not purchase again.
I have had the motor replaced, the cruise control quit working, and the paint peeled all before the warranty expired. However it does get good fuel mileage. It was a good thing that it came with a ten year one hundred thousand mile warranty. I still would not recommend purchasing a Hyundai sonata.

Sleek 2012 Hyundai Sonata
I have had my 2012 Hyundai sonata for about five years. It has been very reliable and efficient. I have only had to change the starter and the coupler. My Hyundai Sonata is very good on gas and rides smoothly. The only thing I wish it had is back vents for the air conditioning for the people in the back. I love that it has cloth seats and the black and peanut butter interior. This car is perfect for traveling. Also the trunk is very spacious.

Hyundai sonata. Good car for road trips.
I love the control of the vehicle. Its fast and handles really well. It has great gas mileage as long as you keep the maintenance up on it. I usually can go 400 to 425 miles on a full tank. Things I don't like include; parking is a bit of a paIn due to how the hood is shaped makes it harder to see over the hood and see how close you are as you are parking. Maintenance is a bit pricey being a foreign car.

Hyundai sonata. High performance, low gas construction and no mechanical problems.
Its highly reliable, high performance, low gas consumption vehicle. I have had for over a year now and so far I haven't had any mechanical issues yet I bought it second hand. I highly recommend it. I do oil change myself and it is easier to do it and at a lesser price plus gaining some knowledge on car fixing.

Hyundai Sonata: the height of comfort.
The Hyundai Sonata is an attractive, sporty vehicle that rides smoothly. It has an eco feature that when activated saves gas mileage. It includes a stereo system with a CD player and Bluetooth. It has a spacious back seat and trunk. The headlights are the only problem that I have had with the car. The work, however it is hard to get the lights adjusted to beam in the correct direction. They are currently out of position in my car and I have had difficulty finding someone who is able to fix them.

2012 Hyundai sonata paint issues.
My car has been great! My only complaint is the paint above the windshield and on the hood is chipped and continues to get worse. The only thing we have had to have done other than regular maintenance is the motor was replaced (at no cost to us) due to a recall.

A wise decision results in a touch of luxury with my Hyundai sonata.
This is a solid vehicle with a lot of get up and go. It has a smooth ride like an expensive luxury car. This car will take a beating and still deliver performance. The infinity stereo is factory. It has pros and cons. If you listen to the stereo with the car turned off you will drain your battery. The sound coming from the stereo though, is high definition crisp and satisfying. The leather interior will hold up even through hauling some big items. The leg room in the front is sufficient but the back is not so comfortable. The lumbar support on the driver seat is a life saver. The panoramic sunroof is awesome day it is night! The trunk will hold to full size suitcases with room left. The car handles like a dream. The price is easy on the pocket book.

My Hyundai, my trusted zoom-around-everywhere!
My Hyundai is like an old, trusted friend! It always runs, it never gives trouble, it is very comfortable (though I have had to add a cushion as I shrink)! The side windows snap back if I accidentally hit something, and because there's little trim, I haven't had to replace anything. I previously owned Toyotas and loved them, but my Hyundai, which is almost 7 years old, is my favorite precisely because it demands minimal upkeep & runs so smoothly.

Nice roomy trunk. Great performance. Very reliable. Destroyed the front bumper twice in minor incidents that didn't even activate the airbag, hitting a deer and a motorcycle whose rider bailed before impact. The heater warms up within 10 minutes on the coldest days, so that is nice.

Sonata review. Very nice vehicle with lots of bells and whistles.
The only problems have been the brake switch needing to be replaced and the turbo booster needed to be replaced and later taken back to be adjusted. I love the car but do not like the low profile tires. They don't give a smooth ride and expensive to replace.

Great commuter car that is comfortable and reliable. Safe for children.
I honestly do not have any problems with my car. One thing I do not like is it makes a squeaking noise when the air conditioning or heater is on. I also wish it was better on gas but other than that it is a great car. And sometimes when I push on the gas the car jerks forward especially if I am turning or reversing.

Quiet powerful and easy to move love purchase.
This car has a quiet power, move with ease and looks very nice on the outside. We enjoy the factory sound system. The screen on the inside of the car panel has a nice size writing so it does not distract you while you are driving but informed you of what's going on with the car and the mileage to. The back seat is quite comfortable and has heat controls. This used treasure has been really nice for our family. We get the regular maintenance at our local car dealer that we purchased the car from.

Great car for a compact lifestyle
Love this car. Reliable, great trunk space, compact but you still have lots of room. Great car if you're looking for something small. Great for small families. The trunk fits two strollers and still has room to add a few more things. The back seat can sit three people, but it can get a little tight if you're on the heavier side. The front seats have lots of room, but the back leg room can get a little cramped if the front seats are sat back.

The sonata has eco mode which helps with gas mileage a lot.
The only problem I have run into with my Hyundai is the radio goes out on occasion. I do wish the back had a little more room for the kids to move around, however I am able to comfortably fit two full size car seats in the back, with room for my oldest to sit in the middle. The gas mileage is incredible. I was able to drive approximately 4 hours and only used about 1/4 tank of gas.

It has very good safety ratings.
I love the way my sonata handles and love the body style. It is also very good on gas. I do not like the blind spots or the location of speaker for Bluetooth.
accountCircle Jennifer L on January 26, 2021
That for the money the car is completely worth it, it's a bit more in gas than my previous vehicle but it's reliable in any weather
Love the design of the vehicle, it's a very smooth ride and the stereo options are easy and efficient. Dislike the slapstick can be activated at anytime, not a very nice safety feature and also got a letter about recalling airbags/seatbelts

8 years and I still love her!
The only trouble I have ever had with my vehicle is my air randomly feeling warm so I have to turn car off and on to get it cold. I love everything about my car, even on days where she is worn out from a vacation drive over 8 hours, she is still trucking along. I just recently hit 100,000 miles and the only thing I am having to worry about is breaks. The car holds up nicely; the paint does not chip like previous car and the black cloth interior has an extremely expensive taste. I would buy this car again and again!

Great car, not suited to families with young kids.
Had a lot of problems with recalls - specifically regarding the engine and safety features (seatbelt & airbags). Other than that, the car is extremely reliable and performs well. Car is very comfortable, but sits low to the ground, even for a sedan, so it can be a bit cumbersome to assist the elderly or getting young children in or out. Car is plenty spacious, but sitting 5 for a long ride can feel cramped. Trunk lacks storage capacity for more than 3 suitcases, but works great for everyday storage like groceries or personal bags.

Best car for first time car owner
This is my first car and I've had it for about a year now. (bought used). No problems. Very affordable to keep up with the payments. Considering that I'm only 20. It's very comfortable the only thing I would say it a problem is that there aren't any vents in the back. Gas lasts long. The Bluetooth feature is my favorite.

Very spacious, drives well. Had tint when I bought it and I love the tint.
Well, when I got my car it was used and around 80,000 to 90,000 miles. My dealership I got the car from didn't do or even tell me about the recall it had on the engine before I bought it. The recall on the engine involved getting a brand new one if the car wasn't over 100,000 miles because the factory the engine was made at didn't clean out metal shaving in the engine or something like that. Anyways, the dealership was hoping I'd go over so they wouldn't have to deal with it but jokes on them two months after I got the car at around 96,000 miles my engine exploded and I got a new one for free. Other than that I have had no problems with this car and I enjoy it very much.

Hyundai Sonatas are reliable vehicles that get the job done.
My vehicle is really good at getting from point A to point B. It is comfortable and reliable. It has a nice moonroof and leather seats as well which is great during the summer. Hyundai produces reliable cars for good prices.

Great, relatable, luxury feeling vehicle
I have a 2012 Hyundai Sonata limited. I really enjoy my vehicle. It has a backup camera, backseat air conditioning, double sunroof, heated seats throughout (back and front) and also has dual temperature controls. The seats are very comfortable and allow the driver to add height to the seat. For a 2012 it is a very advanced vehicle. I haven't had any problems with the car besides regular wear and tear. There is a seat belt recall for that drivers side that the Hyundai dealership will cover completely.

The life with my sonata how I feel and how I like it.
I love my car, it has 173,000 miles and is running and is reliable, gets great gas mileage and really like the way it feels, when driving it get up in speed nicely and quietly. I love the color and the fact my phone can connect to the car as well. I’d buy another one.

It is reliable and that is a very important attribute.
Looks good. Never had a service issue. In a word; turbo.

Hyundai sonata - sleek, sporty, comfortable, and adaptable.
I have had the Hyundai sonata since 2012 and have put 150,000 miles on it and it still runs great! This vehicle is a beast, and can tough it out in rural road conditions with the best of them while maintaining a sleek, sporty look. The interior is comfortable, with a well developed control panel. Bluetooth capabilities are on par with current car models, save for a touch screen. I am still and have been impressed with the performance and reliability of this vehicle.

I had no problems with my vehicle. The engine was great. It was a complete gas saver. The speed of the vehicle was excellent. It was very spacious and comfortable. The truck space was spacious. I could easily maneuver the vehicle. No problems at all.

Well it is automatic and also manual.
It is a really great car to have. One I got it at an awesome price, two I have been driving it for two years now and still runs great! On long road trips it is great on gas and a smooth car to ride in. Have had a few recalls but the placed fixed me up with no problems. Does not use much oil either. Got really lucky with this car, I am glad that I purchased this car.

The sleek and stunning sonata.
So far, I have never experienced any type of mechanical issues with the car in the 8 years I have owned it. It is extremely reliable and I have confidence when I go on a trip that I’ll be able to return safely in my car. It is very comfortable with its black leather interior and looks sleek and appealing. It is sound system is also great, with the ability to connect to my phone via Bluetooth. This makes it much easier and convenient to play my own music in the car.

The Hybrid allows for More Miles for Less!
My 2012 Hyundai Sonata is a very reliable vehicle. It happens to be a hybrid and allows for a much lighter gas fill up. I travel about 60 miles round trip a day and having a hybrid is a big help. The sonata is very roomy and also very good looking.
accountCircle Kip S on January 5, 2021
2012 sonata just hit 100k.
Minimal problems. Only maintained the oil, brakes, battery, standard car maintenance. Nothing major has to be done to my car currently. It has been very kind to me. I believe this car is built to hold up for another one hundred miles. I am happy with my purchase. Just stay up to date on the quarterly maintenance.
