  • WoW! - 2011 Hyundai Sonata

    Bought my car on 4 Dec 2010, from Browns Manassas Hyundai in Northern VA and first off, the dealership experience was EXCELLENT! Next the car is an absolute GEM! I got rid of my 01 E55 AMG for this Gas Saving Technological Masterpiece! Can you say 35MPG! I filled up on 4 Dec and as of today 23 Dec I am still riding on my full tank with over 350 miles logged! Excellent Nav, Bluetooth and overall ride quallity. No more expensive repairs (Benz) with the build of the new Sonata and warranty! Enough room in the back to semi-stretch my legs out and I am 6ft tall. Bought this over a Toyota Avalon. I just cant get over the amenities the car offers and did I say 35MPG on 87 Octane!

    I fell in love with this car at first sight. I saw a red 2011 Sonata SE in the parking deck of my office building on a Monday and bought the very same car two days later. Compared to my 2007 Hyundai Sonata Limited, I feel like I am driving a luxury sports car.

  • Great car, Fun to drive! - 2011 Hyundai Sonata

    I was coming to an end on my lease with my 2007 Camry and was in the market for a new car. I had looked at Camrys again, but wanted something different. Thats when I came across the 2011 Sonata. I loved the car the minute I saw it. I loved it even more after I drove it! I ended up getting a GLS with the popular package which added a few nice extras (alloy wheels, ipod hookup, floor mats, etc). What I loved about this car was that it had a sporty look, without the sports car price. It drives smoothly, has great pickup on the highway and is a really quiet ride. Everywhere I go, this car turns heads. Definitely a car you need to look at if you are in the market for a new car!

  • Do not purchase this auto - 2011 Hyundai Sonata

    All my service was performed on time and engine began to burn oil. The dealer found bad ring and recommend to Hyundai of America to fix. The tech line from Hyundai said it was normal for the engine to use 1 qt of oil every 1 k miles. I have never heard of such. If this happens the engine would lock up before the next oil change. Do not by this car as the company will not honor the warranty. The dealership also took my engine apart and found that it was extreamly clean and had been service on time as it should. They also sent pictures to the Tech line and they still would not stand by the warranty.

  • Review after 11,000 miles - 2011 Hyundai Sonata

    After you own a car for 8 months you have to ask yourself - Would I buy it again. The answer for me is YES. One of the best looking cars on the road. Best Value in the midsize class. No issues with steering or noises. I live in CT and we have been hammered by snowstorms. Car is very good in the snow. Better then the Lincoln MKZ that I had. Gas milage isnt as good as I expected, probably due to the many hills in CT. I glad I didnt buy the Ford Taurus which would have cost $6000 more. My next car will probably be the 2012 Hyundai Azera.

    I had been shopping for a new car for over 1 year not finding exactly what I wanted. The Malibu almost had me, but I wanted to wait for the 2011 Sonata. I looked at it, drove it and left with it 3 hours later. Its a beautiful car inside and out. In addition, I have been getting over 30 mpg around town! It

    Bought a 2005 Sonata V6 with everything on it. Loved the car, but needed a CUV for occupation. Mileage on the 2007 Santa Fe SE was miserable. Enough that I decided I wasnt a CUV/SUV person after all. Great CUV, tho, especially for the money. Recently decided I should start looking at sedans once again to get out from under the poor mileage. Took one look at the 2011 Sonata and was hooked just from the exterior styling. I wasnt worried about reliability or safety, since weve owned 4 other Hyundais. What a terrific car for the price, or even for thousands MORE!!! Im still trying to get used to ALL the features on this car and the ride is quiet, punchy and terrific!

  • Hyundai tried but Missed - 2011 Hyundai Sonata

    Hyundai was so eager to make a car to compete with other high class affordable sedans, that they actually missed the main point, reliability and good leadership, i was on my way to work and as i tried to switch to drive the brakes got locked, i could do nothing but call hyundai and they were very rude, i sent it back and got my dream car, the nissan maxima
