  • A Great Car at Any Price - 2004 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    I am sold on my Sonata, having put 25,000 miles on it in 7 months and had absolutely no problems. The fact that you can buy a car like this for $20,000 is incredible. A lot of "expert" reviews say that the Sonata isnt in the same class as Honda or Toyota, but my wife owns a Honda and I cant see any difference between the cars in fit, finish or performance. It has very little engine noise and the power to merge easily into traffic. The steering is responsive and the brakes are solid. The back seat and trunk are huge for a car of this size. I bought this car to drive it into the ground, but I have a feeling that it may outlast me.

    People tell me that my car looks rich. Some have told me it looks like a BMW. I am very pleased with the pick up as far as speed goes. The leather seats are very easy to keep clean. The interior is very roomy. Its just a sharp car all the way around. As a matter of fact, my husband wants to get one.

  • First Hundai - 2004 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    Bought my first Hundai two days before Christmas. I would have liked the V6, but settled on the 4 cyl. Acceleration is more than sufficient. Ride is smooth; seats are comfortable; styling is superb. Combination highway & around town is 26 mpg which I consider excellent because the car hasnt even been broken in yet - 360 aggregate miles. With limited resources, I was very P&Q (Price & Quality) conscious. The price was right, the quality is apparent, & their warranty manifests the confidence of Hundais engineering for the next 10 years or 100,000 miles. As a discriminating buyer, I was completely sold on this car.

  • Love my Sonata - 2004 Hyundai Sonata

    I love my Sonata!! It is fun to drive and a great looker! I traded in a 2000 Bonneville and never looked back. For the money and the options, I got such a great deal and it looks like a million bucks. I will never go back to a GM car again!

  • Best car I ever bought, other than my Honda - 2004 Hyundai Sonata

    Like buying a poor mans Honda.

  • A Great Deal - 2004 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    Overall, this car has a great, great ride. It is very smooth in comparison to the Toyota Camry. With its low wheelbase, it corners very well with stable, predictable handling. The six cylinder motor gives plenty of extra kick when accelerating and going up steep grades, even with a full load.

  • The Most Inexpensive Jaguar - 2004 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    I purchased an 03 Hyundai Sonata GLS with 8K miles. I owned an 03 XG350 prior. I drove across the US 1,400 miles. The interior comfort is amazing. The ride and handling is actually BETTER than the more expensive XG350. The shiftronic feature was great driving through mountains. Most interestingly Im constantly complimented on the "cool" design. Next to the new Jaguars, there are a LOT of similarity. The price makes me feel SMART. For smart car buyers who arent out to impress with a name (HYUNDAI wont) and want a LOT of car for your dollar, buy the Sonata. The 24/7 roadside assistance gives peace of mind that I didnt expect.

  • THE BEST VALUE, EXCELLENT QUALITY - 2004 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    Bought this vehicle and am amazed at the power available in such an economical car. I learned how to drive on my fathers 1966 Chevy Impala 283 V-8 and this V-6 Sonata is its twin in pick up from a standing start. The interior is plush and the design....I feel like I bought a Jag! I owned a 2000 Hyundai previous to the Sonata and it was a solid, reliabe, no frills car. This Sonata is fantastic! Get one!

    I bought my new Hyundai 1 week ago, I totally love it! The dealer was great and the price was outstanding. I test drove the Toyota Camry and this seemed to run better. I felt like my money was well spent. I like the4 cargo net in the trunk. I liked Hyundai because everthing my car came standard and it is pretty well loaded. It seemed like Toyota and Honda added more options which drove the price up, not Hyundai, I only paid $49 for the pinstriping and that was it!
