Hybrid Sonata
Source: Edmunds

...I wanted to wait a few months to rate this car and have driven it for 3 months now so still early but here are my findings.
Hyundai quoted 35 city and 45 hwy mpg. I haven't done any extensive hwy driving but city is about 25 mpg.
I assume that is less than if I bought the standard gas model.
I live in the desert of So Cal and since owning this car, I have run the A/C nearly all the time I have driven it.
I have noted a better MPG when not using the A/C. There are some quirks, like at a stop light, if the engine kick on to charge the battery while the A/C is on, there is a...

9 month review
Source: Edmunds

...I purchased my 2011 Sonata SE in Aug 2010. I have been averaging about 34 mpg driving 130 miles daily.
The car has met all my expectation. Smooth ride, spacious, responsive, and great standard equipment.
I currently have over 14K miles and the car still seems new.
The paint is exceptional and I really like the split leather seats.
I was skeptical on purchasing a Hyundai, but so far, the value of this care is great. I really recommend this as a family or first car...

The Accord Killer
Source: Edmunds

...will review again at a later date 2-We came straight from the Honda dealership where my wife had just driven the exact Accord she wanted, highest trimline, leather etc, favorite exterior color ect: she would have bought it on the spot but I asked her drive the Sonata first based on good reviews by Edmunds and Consumer reports 3-The instant I sat in the Sonata I could tell the seat was more comfortable with better lumbar support 4-Ride was quieter with much less road vibration on intersate and overall a more refined experience...

What doesn't it do well?
Source: Edmunds

...even a Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8...all in the last 4 years. But when the Sonata 2.0T came out, I had to try it. "Impressed" doesn't begin to describe my reaction to this car! For performance it has 274hp on 87 octane. For being green, it gets better mileage than small cars with 1/2 the horsepower (the Mazda 3 comes to mind). For safety, only the BMW 550i is its equal. Styling is niche-appropriate without being me-too. Features for the money, long a Hyundai hallmark, shows up in spades (Bluetooth, XM, power everything, keyless ignition, etc). Looks like a 100,000 mile/ 10 year match made in...

Impressed with Hyundai
Source: Cars.com

..."We purchased a 2005 Hyundai Sonata in 2007. It has been the most reliable vehicle we have ever owned.
We also have SUVs, but I would much rather drive the Sonata because it's zippier for quick trips around town.
Gas mileage is very good, comfortable seats, plenty of leg room and a spacious trunk. Very impressed with Hyundai!"...

Still love my Sonata
Source: Edmunds

...My Sonata Limited V6 has more than 30K and I love it - I have had literally zero problems with it.
I commute 30 miles each way through rainy and sometimes icy Pacific Northwest mountain passes and it is a champ.
Great acceleration when I need it, excellent mpg (30 mpg highway), handles very well and it can comfortably seat four large adults.
My wife and I took it on a 1,000-mile trip down Highway 1 in Washington and Oregon and it was a fun drive...

Impressed so far.

...I have had my Sonata Limited for 2 months now, and it has been perfect so far.
Great MPG. 35 hwy, and 27 to and from work. I love the navigation and xm data package. Not one rattle and the ride is getting better as the car breaks in. I currently have 4300 miles on the car...

Pulls Left !!!!! Hyundai Can't Find a Fix
Source: Edmunds

...I was very excited to purchase my Limited in October, but became extremely frustrated that the car continually pulls to the left.
I have had it to the Dealer three times to have it fixed.
Not only did they not fix it, Hyundai won't even acknowledge that this is a probem with the new 2011 Models. Google "2011 Hyundai Sonata Pulls Left" BEFORE you buy one...
