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.

Six Month Ownership Update - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
By David - June 27 - 4:00 pmI wrote my first review the night I got my car home. Of course everyone loves a new car the day they buy it. Go read any Edmunds review and if often starts like this "Just got the car today, I LOVE it!!!" Im here to tell you that six months later and its still a joy to drive every day. It has been absolutely flawless in build quality and reliability. And just like another reviewer said, the car handles much better than "professional" reviews would lead you to believe. Powerful brakes that stop the car right now, a smooth, powerful V6 engine, and a suspension system that does a fantastic job of providing a velvety ride while also being sporty enough to have fun around the corners.

Still great after 1 1/2 years... - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
By Pianoman - June 15 - 3:50 amI read the posts of others who are unhappy, and I just want to say, thats not my experience at all. After 25,000+ miles, I am still delighted with my 2009 Sonata Limited 4 cyl. Absolutely no money spent other than normal maintenance, and the car continues to run like a champ. Have gotten up to 37 miles per gallon on non-hilly interstate traveling at 70 mph - it is a great highway cruiser with a quiet, smooth ride. Lots of room inside, and build quality is great. It is definitely not a sports car, but I didnt buy it with that expectation - I drive my wifes Legacy GT if I want kicks. Still like it better than my 3 previous Accords. Overall, Im very happy - no buyers remorse at all.

Limited 4cyl with Navigation - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
By howard.mergler@theme - June 5 - 2:00 amNarrowed down my purchase to a Jetta or the Sonata and the Sonata just blew the Jetta away with features and lower cost. I also found the Sonata to be extremely comfortable with a very smooth ride. The iPod connectivity is great although there are some quirks with the software that could be improved. They also need to make the center console just a tad bigger to be able to hold a normal iPod well. The one area I have not been impressed with is gas mileage. I have routinely gotten about 22 MPG even with a good bit of highway driving. Not as good as I hoped, but still much better than what I had before.

Engin starting is not properly working. - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
By SK Joo - May 15 - 4:50 pmI purchased the brand new sonata 2009 model GLS on march 2009. Current total mileage is 3545 mile. But I found the critical issue which is related to engine starting. Since we bought we had met several time "Engine starting is not properly working" Symptom: When it comes to not engine staring well, Accelerator, brake pedal is on stuck, and all electric power down include radio & clock memory was disorganized. I think the key- holder or electric system is something wrong. To be honest, I dont want to recommend this model to other person until US made Sonata include parts quality proved.

great car. - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
By Kenny - May 10 - 10:20 pmI bought my GLS 4 cylinder with a 5A transmission last July and havent had a mechanical problem with it since. the dash looks beautiful with a nice LED blue lighting. the audio system is great with cool features such as ipod and USB integration. Electronic Stability Control comes standard on all models, and one can turn it on and off. ESB only comes available on higher level Camrys and it is always on. I can go about 450 miles on one tank of gas. Overall, for the money, I couldnt be happier.

Amazing for the Bucks! - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
By zeb - May 8 - 2:23 amIve had my 2009 Hyundai Sonata for about 2 1/2 months and I still love it! I was looking for a reliable, fuel- efficient, roomy, car with leather and I could not believe they sold me this car for $15,990....with leather seats? Its not the Limited model, but it had everything I realistically needed in a car...did I say leather? Best SURPRISE of all is that its virtually MAINTENANCE-FREE(oil and air filter change only) in normal conditions for 60K miles. My Subaru needs something every 15-24K. Who cares about Honda and Toyotas reputation when I have 100k, 10 year PT warranty. Its one of those few things in life that is too good to be true....but it is!

Luv my Hyundai - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
By Jerry - April 7 - 4:33 pmOK, I only have the Sonata a couple of weeks but I am very very happy with the car. The power is impressive for a four cylinder and the gas mileage is great, avg 29 MPG all around. That avg is highway and city combined. It has a classy interior that is well layed out and very comfortable. I bought the Sonata to replace an Elantra, 77K miles, that I gave to my son. He needed a car. This is my seventh Hyundai. I traded a Land Rover for a Santa Fe, which I still own. I made a great trade. To date Ive had no issues with any of my Hyundai. I plan to look at the new Genesis Coupe when it hits the showroom floor. I got the Sonata at an I cant pass it up deal, $12400 for the GLS automatic.

replacing my toyota - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
By replaced toyota - April 5 - 9:00 amI purchased my Sonata after looking at Nisson and Honda and the best buy for the money was the Sonata. I have a heavy foot on the gas and still get 32 mg on the highway. The best I ever got from my Toyota was 29. The warranty is limited you have to read the fine print.
