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.

Please Fix Brake Pad Problem - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
By Jane - July 31 - 1:16 pmI live in New England and purchased 2009 Sonata.Great winter performance. With only 15000 on the OD my Service Mgr. told me the brake pad backer plates are rusting and the corrosion is reducing the space between the pad and the rotor creating a potential safety problem of possibly glazing and having a brake loss or dragging and locking or burning. With the bumper to bumper warranty expired the the repair cost me $160 out of pocket. I was told the problem could re-occur. The expense is a minor irritation but the Prospect of losing my brakes on the Interstate or having them lock-up on an icey road is terrifying. Whats the big deal about a re-design of the pad. An alloy that doesnt rust.

Great car - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
By Tom - June 25 - 6:43 pmThe 2009 limited model is one great car. Loads of standard equipment at a decent price. The interior is very upscale. We could not be happier with the vehicle. The ride and performance are very good and we are getting over 26mpg in mostly city driving.

Lack of interior colors. - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
By Anthony - June 5 - 6:10 pmI like most everything about my new Sonata, but I didnt really get the color I wanted. I preferred the Natural Khaki, a beautiful light green, or the Dark Cherry. However, these colors, for some reason, were only available with the light beige cloth, which looked like it would get dirty very easy, and which illuminated the interior. So I had to take an exterior color that looks pretty boring grey, to get the darker [grey] interior.

FUN RIDE - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
By Marcus - May 25 - 4:16 amThis car continues to exceed my expectations while driving it over 14,000 miles and having and driven many cars (Saabs, Honda, Benz E300 and BMW 530i) in US and Europe. Quick when accelerating in semiauto mode and tracktion control off. On the twisties and highway the SE drives close to recent BMW 530i without sport suspension. Its similar in size to its Japanese competitors but ouclasses them in performance and value even though has a small V6 3.3L engine. Ive opened her up to about 135MPH and though less stable than 9-3 Saab and overpriced German cars (mostly air dynamic issue), performs very solid and better than V6 Accord. Nice car!

Second Day - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
By gary - April 28 - 11:06 amI just picked up my new Sonata GLS in slate blue yesterday, and will admit that I bought it to save money, having traded down from a G35 with 95k miles. I looked at compact cars and quickly discovered they were too small. Then looked at the Accord Camry and Sonata. Found the Accord in cloth uncomfortable and in leather too pricey. The Camry was an excellent ride and very comfortable and decided to shop Sonata against it. I found the Sonata with virtually the same ride, a bit less comfortable with a high level of content and great layout and space. The clincher was the price - a full 5 grand less than Camry. Thought I might have 2nd day remorse, but enjoyed cruising with AC and the XM today.

What a Value - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
By Jason G. - April 16 - 6:53 pmAfter driving all the other brands... for the price we just couldnt beat the 2009 Sonata SE(stickered at 22945 paid 17545 w/cash for clunkers out the door for 13045 w/o tax) the Sonata has more standard convenience features then any model that we drove, after a 1000 mile trip we averaged 32mpg and I dont miss a V6 at all, plenty of power from the 2.4 engine. The car behaves great on the highway and West Virginia country roads we just couldnt be more pleased. The Sonata warranty it made our purchase easy.

Great Car for the Money - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
By James - April 2 - 7:53 pmI bought the 2009 GLS (5speed) earlier this month (April), and I love it. During my search, I drove many similar mid-size sedans, and I have to say that this is the best deal for the price! Unlike other entry level mid-size sedans, the interior of the 09 Sonata does not feel cheap. The fuel economy of the 5speed is fantastic. The car handles well, and has plenty of room in the interior for passengers. The trunk space is bigger than my first apartment. This is a great car, fun to drive, and a great price. (I got the 2009 GLS 5 speed brand new for $14,500 in Richmond, VA).

First Hyundai - Great Choice - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
By Pjay - March 20 - 6:23 pmTraded in my 1991 Camry (203K miles) and compared Sonata 4 cyl with add on package vs 2008 Accord and 2009 Camry, to see why I should pay $2000-2800 more for a Camry or Honda. The Accord was not as quiet as the Sonata at 35- 45mph especially, had a slight blind spot in mirror, did not include alarm, had less trunk space, lacked split rear fold back seats (single), but did have superior steering. Camry did not have standard ESC, the clock was in a strange location on dash (look up!), and the body lines on car were bland. At 1900 miles, the Sonata drives well and very quiet, has enough pick up, mileage at 31-32 (mix highway/local), love the XM radio and ipod dock,great trunk /rear seat space
