Overview & Reviews

The Hyundai Sonata receives minor exterior styling updates and an all-new interior for 2009, giving it one of the most upscale cabins in the midsize sedan class. Power and fuel economy have also been increased for both four- and six-cylinder engines, while the automatic transmission has been retuned for smoother shift quality. An auxiliary audio jack has been added to the standard features list, while the Limited trim level adds two-level heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control and an optional navigation system.

• Beautiful interior, velvety ride, spacious cabin and trunk, impressive value with long features list, lengthy warranty.

  Ok but has Issues - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By Karen - March 30 - 6:43 am

  Like the overall car for looks and roominess inside. A little disappointed how the vinyl doors inside scratch easily. Sporty and stylish.

  Great Value.....Better than Camry - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By Robert - March 28 - 12:53 pm

  I bought this car for $15,700 last December. I have driven to Florida twice from Maryland (About 6000 miles) I normally put around 12,000/year in my commute in the DC Metro area. I want the readers to know that I was also hesitant to purchase a Hyundai. I did substantial research and for the price this car is the best deal for the price. I have had Camrys and Accords and I truly cannot see any difference in the ride and hopefully reliability. I am 110% satisfied with my purchase and would strongly recommend this car to anyone in the same boat I was in last year. Another aspect to consider is the 10yr/100,000 power train warranty..I guess I will have this car until at least 2019... Bob

  Great Bang for your buck - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By Cecilia - March 14 - 5:06 am

  I considered the Honda Accord & Toyota Camry before deciding on the Hyundai. The most noticeable features which impressed me were the whisper-quiet interior and feature-rich Limited package. The Honda accord had nicer exterior stying and better handling, but for the thousands of dollars more for equivalent features, was simply not worth it. As others have noted, the suspension needs tweaking- it leans noticeably in corners, and shock absorption on rough roads ruins the otherwise quiet isolation in the cabin. Overall, its an excellent value for someone looking for a refined luxury ride with exception power from the 3.1L V6 engine. Overall, Im very satisfied.

  The Honeymoon Is Over! - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By David - March 9 - 10:56 am

  I purchased this car a year ago and have written two reviews, one when I first got the car, and then another at six months. This will be my final review at a year old. Im sorry to say, but I now understand why Hyundai is not considered the same in quality as the leading Japanese manufactures. Not only have I detailed a number of options missing that the competitors offer, but numerous problems have reared their ugly head in the past year. The 09 Sonata is a nice car, but its priced right where it should be. After my year experience with the car, I understand why Hyundai does not have the resale value of the Japanese as well. Hyundai has made great strides, but they have a ways to go.

  Dittos with Everyones Review - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By IndyCheeseHead - January 27 - 2:23 pm

  I have 6200 miles since August on my Sonata. Ive been commuting 600 miles every weekend. Smooth ride, plenty of power and excellent interior layout. The car feels much more expensive than what it cost. Im averaging between 33-35 on the highway. I checked out most of the competition and nothing came close for the price, safety features and warranty. Test drive one and youll be impressed.

  Great car, not just for the money - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By Jojo - January 23 - 11:33 pm

  We purchased this car to replace my 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee. After doing a lot of research we decided on the Sonata. I couldnt be happier. The ride is smooth, but not floaty. The 2.4 has just enough power, and gets terrific mileage. Interior and Exterior design are awesome. This is one well built, well thought out car.

  Smooth, quiet, powerful - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By kww - December 27 - 5:06 am

  This car is very smooth and quiet. While no sports car, it is more powerful than my previous two cars, a Taurus SHO, and a Maxima SE. The interior is very well done, the seats are extremely comfortable, and the stereo is excellent. Should be an outstanding interstate cruiser. Am averaging 25mpg in a mix of driving. The nav unit works quite well(after the original faulty unit was cheerfully replaced by the dealer). Very affordable with the rebate($3000). Outstanding value.

  Not Much Wrong with this Car - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By bmac50 - November 28 - 2:20 am

  Less then 1400 miles, one of the first things I did was change the air filter to K&N, seeing 23 MPG in town, on the road I dont know yet but some mixed with mostly town 26. More than enough pick up to get out of the way and starting in 1st. Very roomy, good seats and driving position, wish the seat bottom was a little longer but on any car I do. Easy to read gauges, very strong brakes and great audio system. Of course the best warranty in the business doesnt hurt. Easy to get the steering wheel where you like with both tilt and telescopic. Wasnt really that hot about leather or the moon roof but Im finding I was quite wrong.

  Excellent Car - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By Andre - November 12 - 4:56 pm

  This is my 3rd Sonata. I had the 2003, 2006 and now have owned the 2009 for 9 months. You cant beat the price for such a quality car. I get 33 mpg on hwy and 29 combined city/hwy. The 2009 is superior to both 2003 and 2006 for that. The ride is quiet and comfortable. The oil filter is placed right on top of the engine, which makes it easy to replace... A brilliant idea!

  Money well spent. - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By tomc - November 4 - 2:03 pm

  We got a Sonata because our previous car was starting to show its age (2000 Ford Focus). We also own a Tucson and the reliability is outstanding so we bought another Hyundai. I love the design and the spaciousness of the interior in which you can actually stretch your legs. The fit and finish is excellent made with quality materials and theres no rattles or squeaks to be heard. Hyundai has greatly improved their product line and improving every year.
