Overview & Reviews

Hyundai shuffles the Sonata's trim levels for the second year in a row, making the four-cylinder engine standard on all and the V6 optional across the board. The sporty Sonata SE gains performance tires, a rear spoiler and a power driver seat, while the upscale Limited receives an Infinity stereo as standard.

• Comfortable ride, quality interior materials, roomy backseat and trunk, standard stability control, lengthy warranty, impressive value.

• Subpar fuel economy with the V6, numb-feeling steering, automatic transmission fussy in manual mode.

  Great Car Period - 2008 Hyundai Sonata
  By Dan - March 9 - 8:26 am

  My mother purchsed a V6 2007 Sonata because of the safety features (she is 85). She let me borrow the car for a few trips and I fell in love with it. With the offer of 0% financing I decided to trade in my 1999 Taurus and purchase one for myself. I decided to go with the inline 4 instead of the V6 because of the threat of ever increasing gas prices. In the short time that I have had the car, I havent regretted going for the 4. It gives me the performance and gas milage that I was looking for.

  Check it Out!! - 2008 Hyundai Sonata
  By Dennis - February 10 - 1:23 pm

  I bought this car right after Christmas. I looked at the sonata in and out. This is one of the best cars I have ever owned. The power of the v-6 is awesome! Inside is so quiet you cant even hear the engine running. The infinety sound system is the best sounding stereo Ive ever had in a car. Also the heated leather seats came in Handy this winter. I have gotten many compliments on the style of the car. Some people think its a Lexus or Mercedes. The gas mileage is not bad either. I get about 26 mpg combo city and interstate driving. I highly recommend anyone to test drive the sonata. I think theyll be sold like I was.

  WOW~~ - 2008 Hyundai Sonata
  By JK - December 31 - 2:56 pm

  The Sonata Limited is loaded with features. You name it, it has it. Except for Navigation. But other than that, it has all the options Id ask for and for the price that I cant imagine with any other manufacturer. I have about 6000 miles now and enjoying it everyday.

  Best Kept Secret in the Automotive World - 2008 Hyundai Sonata
  By jrbj999 - December 2 - 1:13 pm

  Floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee. In other words, it feels like a luxury car, when you drive it, but still has amazing performance for the small engine size. You dont need the 6 cyl engine in a world of rising gas prices. This is the best car Ive ever had and I doubt Ill ever have another one as nice.

  2008 Hyundai Sonata SE - 2008 Hyundai Sonata
  By Gary - October 17 - 7:10 am

  This is the 4th Hyundai I have owned (we bought the Entourage last year which is great). I have to say after owning Fords and Hondas, this Hyundai Sonata has exceeded my expectations over the other manufacturers. You just cant consider Hyundai as a stereotypical cheap quality vehicle. The ride is smooth and the V6 engine provides ample power (234 HP). The interior design shows quality and there are safety features galore. In addition, the gas mileage is reasonable. From past experience, I have had virtually no problems with defects, etc. compared to other makes I have owned. The Hyundai warranty is the proof in the pudding. I will not buy from another car manufacturer.

  I love my car!!! - 2008 Hyundai Sonata
  By Lori - August 19 - 9:23 pm

  The Sonata is a very comfortable and roomy car. My husband is 64" tall with very long legs and he is very comfortable driving it. I am averaging 32 miles a gallon. It is loaded with all the features I wanted at a reasonable price.

  Sweet Ride! - 2008 Hyundai Sonata
  By Manny - June 5 - 8:10 pm

  Good power, great handling, I dont know what they are referring to saying the handling isnt very good, I love it. Had a Honda before this and this tops the Honda head over heels. XM radio is awesome and the infinity sound system blows people away. Gas mileage is about 25 mpg average between city and freeway. I drive mostly in the city, so i think that 23 mpg in the city is pretty good. About 31 on the freeway. All in all a great ride and I would highly recommend!

  Unbelievable value - 2008 Hyundai Sonata
  By GWC - May 23 - 6:03 am

  I bought this car this weekend using the referrals Edmunds makes available. This automobile came completely loaded except for NAV and Sunroof. I bought the car for $17321, net. The glove box cover needs some adjustments and I didnt get a valet key but I believe that these problems settled.

  Get it! - 2008 Hyundai Sonata
  By N i i i i c e. - February 24 - 6:10 am

  My husband and I have had many other cars before and shopped around a lot before purchasing this car. We both love it. I especially love the v6 power and the sharp style.

  Wont go back to Accord! - 2008 Hyundai Sonata
  By A former honda nut - December 24 - 11:23 am

  After driving a Sonata for a week as a vacation rental car, I knew it was the car for me. I was about to purchase my fifth Honda Accord, but in terms of value for the money, the Sonata is a winner hands down. It combined everything I wanted in a car, all the bells and whistles, with a very sweet price. It rides beautifully, is very roomy even for four people, is beautifully appointed and is easy to drive. The leather seats are very comfortable and driving position is excellent.
