  • Snow no go! - 2011 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    I purchased a used low miles 2011 Sonata last fall and loved it, awesome gas mileage, up to 40 hwy. inside great, outside great! Winter came late and I discovered it does not get around in snow at all! Ive never had to worry about getting around in snow and I live in a state that normally gets a lot of snow. Had trouble navigating in even 3 inches of snow! Car dealer said they are built light which is why mileage is so good. Got stuck 3 times in a 7 min. commute from work to home. Next day traded it in for an AWD Subaru - I didnt even hesitate to get rid of it. Dependability and reliability is tops on list for a vehicle!

  • New Sonata is Great - 2011 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    I havent been a fan of Hyundai vehicles until I saw the new new Sonata on the TV commerical. I decided to go for a test drive and was hooked instantly with the cars options and looks. The price was great for the packages I got on the car. Performance is amazing with the redesigned 4 cylinder engine. Gas mileage as something I have been worried about, but no so much an issue anymore with this car. The engine components are covered so it cuts down on engine noise on the highway, you can hardly tell the engine is running at 80 mph, and idle sound is pretty much non existent. The seats are great, and evne though it sits low to the ground its not a hassle to get in and out of.All in all its an A+

  • Just Awesome! - 2011 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    This is my 3rd car overall and 1st new car just coming out of college. And I am impressed. I am 68" and am quite comfortable in this vehicle. The leg room is not quite as much as my 2004 Impala but it is definitely very good for a sedan. So, you tall guys out there have nothing to worry about. Also, the interior design looks great! The 2010 Sonata had a nice interior design and they blew that away here with a sleek and luxurious looking design. The XM radio and Aux cable is great I can charge my Zune and run everything through USB and that is nice. The XM radio is good for sports radio but ah. The exterior speaks for itself. The looks I get and the compliments go get one!

  • Love it! - 2011 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    I traded in my 2008 Sonata for the new 2011 Sonata. My 08 was a good reliable vehicle and in great condition. I just loved the new styling on the 2011 Sonata. Ive got 1200 miles on the new car now; and I love it more every time I drive it! The seats are so much better - they really enclose you. People ask me about the car everywhere I go - they all think its a Mercedes or a Lexus. I had the windows tinted and it looks even better now!

  • Wow - 2011 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    Its only been a month and we almost have 2k miles on our se sonata. countless compliments and stares almost everywhere we go. one lady even took a pic w/her cell phone. my wife was pleasantly surprised w/my choice for a midsized (now large) sedan according 2 the EPA. For the money and features you get, no automaker right now can beat the 2011 sonata for price, features and sexy looks. go test drive one today.

  • Best car ever!!! - 2011 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    After reading many reviews on this car I decided to give it a test drive. I was completely amazed at how well the car performed and how comfortable and stylish the interior and exterior were. I test drove every other car in its class to include the Camery, Accord,Taurus,Maxima,and LaCrosse. The Sonata was by far the best all around. I traded in my 2005 BMW X3 for the Sonata SE. I absolutely love this car. I have had people asking me what it was, wanting to look in it and have seen so many other drivers turning to check out my new car. If you are looking to buy a midsize car do yourself a favor and test drive the new Sonata! (previous cars owned Chrylser, Volvo S40 T5, BMW X3)

  • Great Power with Great Gas Milleage - 2011 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    I was looking for a mid-size car that had great gas mileage (40 hwy) with the power of a six (200 hp). The acceleration is great. I am averaging a combined city/hwy driving of 26 mpg driving moderately aggressive.

  • Love this car - 2011 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    I was driving a Lexus 350 SUV and when my lease was up I did a lot of research. I wanted something with better gas mileage, yet good looking. This car had high approval ratings and a 89 rating from another research group for drivabilty. So, it was worth a look. What a beautiful car inside and out and drives aggressively when you put your foot to the medal. Not bad for a 4 cylinder engine. Very happy with my decision. Had a very good experience with the dealership and their service department.

  • What a car for the money - 2011 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    We just bought the car and drove from Ohio to Wisconsin. The car DID get 35.6 mpg at 70mph! WOW! So much better than the Jeep we traded in for the Sonata. Quality of components, design and looks of the car are outstanding! Hyundai truly out did themselves with the car. We selected the SE for the dual exhaust and larger wheels, but liked the appointments of the Limited. Not sure why Hyundai doesnt put all of the good items they have available on the Limited. We love the car! a GREAT buy. Check it out! We think you WILL agree!
