Overview & Reviews
For 2007, Hyundai has shuffled the Sonata's trim levels. GLS replaces the previous GL moniker and Limited takes the place of LX. Hyundai has also introduced a new sporty SE trim. Later in the model year, a tire-pressure monitor and XM radio become standard across the line.
- Upscale look and feel, refined performance with V6, smooth ride, roomy cabin, standard stability control, attractive value and warranty coverage.
- Steering somewhat vague, automatic transmissions are fussy in manual-shift mode, heated seats on the weak side.

Slow off the line - 2007 Hyundai Sonata
By I like it ,I like it - December 3 - 7:10 amIve only had the car a week and so far I like the car very much. My ONE concern is the car is very slow off the line.When youre at a light or stop sign and you first hit the gas, it takes a second or two before the car goes. This also happens between 1 gear and 2 gear.

Good price, but design could be better - 2007 Hyundai Sonata
By Ken - April 15 - 11:23 pmMy 1st time buying Hyundai & got ~7.5k miles on it so far. Need to put on more mileage before I can rate its reliability. As for quality, the workmanship could be better, as I already noticed a (very minor) leak on the trans bell housing seal the next day after I got the car. I 1st noticed from the fluid drops on my garage floor. Also, some of the body panels dont line up perfectly with the bumper (also very minor). Considering what I paid, I can live with such minor defects. The gas mileage seems nowhere near whats claimed--I drive 1/2 hwy & 1/2 hi-spd suburban roads, but my trip computer tells me ~21.5mpg (on the 3.3L V6). Other than that, a pretty nice car w/ good features for the $$!

I want my Taurus back - 2007 Hyundai Sonata
By Peter Sawatzky - January 19 - 5:46 pmBefore driving 2000 km . rear suspension began to rattles ,bang ,etc. Dealer said it was the high performance struts and the cold weather and all 2007s did the same thing.The banging is getting worse even over small bumps.They ordered new strut brackets;havent arrived yet. Annoying squeak between windshield and dash. None of my other cars had this problem in our cold climate.Could never get the XM radio to work.

Much prettier than a Camry - 2007 Hyundai Sonata
By Doug G - October 25 - 8:20 pmThis car is so much better than the entry level price being charged. Fit and finish are impeccable, controls fall naturally to hand, the ride is almost flawless. Economy is okay but my car isnt broke in yet. Should get better. It would be nice if the manufacturer would put upgrade options on the GLS series in greater numbers. In my opinion the V6 is not necessary.

Great car - 2007 Hyundai Sonata
By Tom Brossart - August 13 - 1:10 amVery nice car for the money. Handles and rides nicely. The transmission shifts slowly from reverse to drive, and is kind of jerky in the process. It also surges when accelerating from a low speed. Also the glove box rattles. Other than that, it seems to be a great car. Got backed into by another car while mine was parked, so I am driving a Toyota Camry rental while my Sonata is being repaired. They are very similar cars, but I like the ride and handling of the Hyundai Sonata better than the Camry, and its easier to get into and out of as well.

Happy with Hyundai - 2007 Hyundai Sonata
By Happy with Hyundai - July 25 - 9:56 amFor business I rented several of the competing mid-sized vheicles that were available from Hertz, Avis and National. I put them all through some rigous perfomance testing with the idea of purchasing the best. The Sonata was the clear winner. A great bonus was that the Sonata was also cheapest car with the best warranty. Money is tight so spend it wisely and buy the Sonata.

2007 Sonata - 2007 Hyundai Sonata
By Bob - May 8 - 1:13 pmDrove many of usual new car suspects in this class and then just for fun drove the Sonata. I drove one 6 years ago but wasnt impressed. So bought a camry instead at that time. Probably the best car Ive ever owned. But this time I liked the look and drive and the warranty of this car better.Also they had a 5 speed manual available on the lot which I believe makes any 4 cyl a better drive.Also saved at least $3500 over another similar camry,altima,ford focus,or malibu in the 08 models. Nice color selection. Dealership was helpful but not pushy which I like. S0 I decided to give Hyundai a try.

Nice Car ,awful fuel economy - 2007 Hyundai Sonata
By Tim Guyer - December 30 - 10:50 pmI like this car all except for the fuel milage, The window sticker is rated 20 city 30 highway, Im lucky if I get 22 miles per gallon on average, and Im not a hard driver. This is my second Hyundai and Im not sure if there will be a third. Im very dissapointed. In 08 the window stickers changed to 18 city and 27 highway If they were honest with the 07 stickers I wouldnt have bought it

A plesent surprise - 2007 Hyundai Sonata
By Fred - December 21 - 3:56 amThis has proved to be an excellent car, excellent build quality, tight and quiet, with plenty of power and good fuel economy (24 mpg). The only negative comment I have relates to the radio controls on the steering wheel. There is a control called mode which changes the radio from AM to FM to CD, but ther is no control to move between stations. A small thing but annoying.
