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.

  Still impress me!!! - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By Ricardo - May 9 - 5:46 am

  Bought my Sonata Limited back in May 2009. Have driven little over 3200 miles and still loved it like new.Ride, comfort and luxury all harmoniously blend in this car. This is my second Hyundai and will not be my last. Ive been averaging 25-25 mpg city and averaged even 31 mpg, with three people inside. Best car Ive recently owned, and used to have a BMW some time ago.

  My Hyundai Audi - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By reverend mikey - April 21 - 12:13 am

  First of all, this car is a BARGAIN right now; I paid much less than Edmunds TMV price; $4,500 under sticker! This is our 4th Hyundai; 3rd brand new. My wife is driving an 07 Santa Fe; loves it. I had an 03 Elantra GT - LOVED that car, but traded it so my wife could have the SF (cry). This Sonata is even better than the GT; incredible power, nice interior styling and comfort (partial leather seats are very comfortable and supportive); and I think the standard stereo/CD is very good. Some call the styling vanilla: I call it Hyundais Sonata Audi (the last Sonata was trying to be a Jaguar - this one succeeds better!). I also looked at the 09 Mazda6 and Malibu LTZ; chose this one.

  33 mpg hwy - 26 city, reliable, roomy - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By MiMo - April 15 - 11:56 pm

  I have now tested the car for about 10,000 miles and Im really happy with my sonata. The mileage is awesome: 2 adults, one kid, one trunk full of heavy stuff and I managed to get 33 mpg on highway, between Sacramento and Los Angeles. Same combination between San Diego and Phoenix with a/c on and I got 33.3 mpg. Two adults, 2 hours of stop-and-go in la traffic (rush hour) and a/c on and I got 32.8 mpg. No mechanical problems so far, between 30k-40k miles. XM satellite radio is a must on long trips. I really miss the steering wheel controls for radio/mp3/XM and electrical controls for drivers seat. Other than that plenty of room for a 6 driver and 6.2 behind the driver. No kidding, that good.

  So Far, Very Happy - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By Dixie - February 25 - 7:26 pm

  I purchased the car earlier this month (July, 2008) and Ive been very happy with it. The dealership included a full tank of gas with its delivery. I literally went 10 days in 3/4 of a tank of gas. That totaled about 375 miles. The tank is 16.9 gallons and dare I say one would get 500 miles on a single tank during highway driving. The Sonata is the first Hyundai Ive owned since I bought a Scoupe in 1993 in Southern California. That car had the best paint job Ive ever had in a car. I love the XM Radio in the Sonata. So far, its all good.

  Great Car, 2nd Review - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By bdemick - February 17 - 7:33 pm

  I have owned the vehicle for 9 months & 16,000 mi. and it is still a great car! No problems, great ride & handling, good performance from the 4 cyl. engine and on highway trips over 37 mpg! Love all the standard features and a warranty that shames Toyota & Honda and many more. If all the vehicles in its class cost the same Id still pick the Sonata. What a bonus that its thousands less!!

  Hyundai fan - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By John - February 9 - 11:46 am

  I replace my 2005 Chevy impala with this car. My car payment went down $ 100 a month and I feel I got a better car. It 175 hp vs 200 it fills as quick and the rides better. Gas mileage on Chevy 16 to 28 / Hyundai 21 town 33 at 75 on highway. Love the ride and the head room Im 6,3 lot of room in back for the kids the dealership treat me like I got a BMW. I sold Hondas for 6 month and Hyundai has them worried if I didnt know it I would think I was diving a Honda accord. And not the Honda accord vp this car way better.

  Great Car - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By Scott - February 4 - 3:06 pm

  After much research, this is by far the best car in its class for value, quality, warranty, and standard features. The ride is excellent, tight road hugging suspension and great handling. The 2.4L engine is surprisingly strong and much easier on gas than the V6. Interior is quiet, very pleasing to the eye. All electronics are well placed and easy to see. Leather seats are very comfortable. Exterior has great lines with chrome accents and the cocoa metallic finish is beautiful in the sunlight. The 17" wheels and low profile tires are a great accent. Trunk space is huge and rear seats fold down with access to the trunk. Nice headroom in rear. Great savings with CARS and rebates

  Sonata Update - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By vanman - January 18 - 7:33 pm

  Have had this car going on 6 mos now. Have a little over 3000 mi. Have not had any problems to date. I was waiting to update my review until I had driven it in the snow. It did not disappoint me. The traction control & ESC seem to do just what they were designed to do. And the Shift Tronic feature is helpful, so you can use engine braking to slow the vehicle down on slippery roads. This car continues to impress me. Im averaging 32-33 mpg. If I get "Sporty" and use the Shift Tronic a lot. Ill drop down to 26-28 mpg. I honestly cant think of anything I dont like about it after 6 mos.
