Love this car! - 2006 Hyundai Sonata
By damaestro119 - May 3 - 2:04 pmI needed a new car that I think would last a long time. Went to a few dealers and could not find a good deal until I stopped at a Hyundai dealer, and I test drove this car. I am 64" tall, and in my experience, it was always hard to find comfort in a car, until now. I have tons of head and leg room, with much room to spare. The performance of this car has been exceptional for the 2 years I have had it. It takes off fast when I need it too, I can pass on the highways easily, and with the ESC, it handles great in the snow (I live in Michigan). It was a great purchase and has never let me down as of yet, and it saved myself quite a few dollars over other cars with the same options!

Good car bad dealers - 2006 Hyundai Sonata
By bikermark - May 3 - 11:16 amThe Sonata runs god and has nice power. the seats could have better thigh suport. The build quility could be better. But the worst thing is the dealer attitude. My rear brakes howl when i turn left, and the dealer refuses to do anything because this only happens to the 4 cyl. cars. the paint is peeling off on the bumper. the seat rattles and the dealer says they cant do anything because thats how they build these things. So i went to the other dealer in town who also sells buick and doesnt have any time or desire to help a hyundai owner. So Im going back to Toyota where Ive always got very good cars and very good service. Hyundai a good car but not there yet.

Great car! - 2006 Hyundai Sonata
By Edwin Lebish - May 3 - 1:43 amLove this car! It drives, feels great and handles well. Many people ask me what kind of car it is. Havent had anyone that didnt like the looks. Seems to be real quiet and smooth on most roads. As expected, the 17 inch tires ride a little rough on rough roads. Brakes are the best and power versus torque is good, especially at speeds over 60. The 5 speed will downshift when going up hills simply because of high gearing the company uses for better mileage due to EPA requirements. The stability control works well and the headlights and visibility are great! After driving the competition, this Sonata is the clear winner, especially when price is a factor as it is for me since I am retired.

A Winner Indeed! - 2006 Hyundai Sonata
By Dion - May 2 - 6:56 pmThe 2006 Hyundai Sonata GLS V6 is the first new car Ive purchased since 1993 and its a pleasing alternative to perennial family sedan favorites like the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry. Fit and finish of the interior materials are superb and the exterior design is simple yet fluid. The controls are well thought-out and easy to use (I hate referring to the owners manual to learn how to use knobs and dials). In addition, the drivers seat offers a commanding view of traffic while the overall impression of the Sonata is that of a much larger, smoother sedan. By the way, I did test drive the Ford Fusion and found that, while competent, American auto manufacturers have been leap-frogged again

Hyundai I never seen before - 2006 Hyundai Sonata
By Kevin - May 2 - 9:03 amThis 235 horse Sonata is better than I expected. It is faster, smoother, and I guess bigger. The road handles great especially in the highway. At 70-80 mph, the road noise was exceptionally reduced. Compared to my old Accord, Sonata is much better in quality, price, warranty, features, power, room, comfort, almost every detail in Sonata beats Accord. It is too bad there is no manual for V6s. There is a shiftronic, but whats the difference with automatic if it shifts by itself in the redline? You have to test drive this amazing machine before you go anywhere else, you just might be in a surprise...

great all around - 2006 Hyundai Sonata
By jay - May 2 - 3:23 ampeople have been saying great things about the sonata and im one of them. shopped accord, camry, g6, altima and narrowed down to sonata and accord. got the sonata cuz of better styling, warranty, roominess, and price. but after driving it, i think i still wouldve got it even if it was more expensive, and the warranty was the same. the car is roomy, quiet, fast, and looks great. especially in black, it looks to be in the same class as an audi a4 or acura tl.

By mike - April 28 - 3:00 amComfort with some major kick!! This car puts some of my mustangs to shame. Transmission is silky smooth and the over-all performance of this car is just awesome. Highway gas mileage is 30+and around town at a respectible 25. Buy this car,you wont be disappointed.

Great Car - 2006 Hyundai Sonata
By Smith - April 25 - 3:18 pmWe love this car and will definitely get another Sonata. We had a 89 Honda Accord and this is just as good if not better.

Unbeatable Value ... Excellent Quality - 2006 Hyundai Sonata
By John P. - April 25 - 10:16 amSome buyers think quality and price are synonymous ... but the Sonata is a perfect exception to that rule. Superior V6 performance with tight handling ... and satisfactory ride. At 33k miles, its been completely reliable. The fit and finish is very comparable to Honda ... but without the $4~5k extra price. This Alabama built "jewel" is a real winner !! Fuel economy is very acceptable for the engine size (25~27 mpg mixed driving). If you are looking for a quality mid-to-large size sedan, you will kick yourself for not looking at Hyundai. Truly the best "value play" on the market.

sweetest car ever for the dollar - 2006 Hyundai Sonata
By buckenbronco2003 - April 18 - 1:40 pmI compared a lot of vehicles in the sonatas class and nothing compared to the quality and affordibility of the sonata. I got a sweet car for under 19,000.
