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.

  Great first impression - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By BBuff43011 - November 28 - 11:40 pm

  After hours and hours of research, I finally drove a Hyundai. I was a little afraid of Korean auto makers because of previous cheap quality, but the Sonata reviews have been pretty favorable since 2007. I love the feel of the ride: comfort, handling, the whole thing. It drives like a more expensive auto and Im loving the satellite radio. Dash lights are pleasant and easy to read, positioning of the fuel and trunk release buttons is brilliant. Lumbar support works well for my 52" frame and the 100,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty doesnt hurt. Definitely impressed so far.

  Bumpy but good - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By bumpy but,good.. - November 10 - 8:06 am

  Very good car, but very bumpy on hard and rough roads. Had to replace stabilizer bar after 3 days old relating to a bumpy feel on the road. Have been told that there is a problem with the strut mounts from an outside vendor and the dealership dont see the problem, but they have felt it. Im awaiting to have company rep to see the car to let me know what they can do about this problem. Other then that a cool car.

  Love my Hyundai - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By snovacancy - November 2 - 8:36 am

  Ive owned my Sonata for 10k miles...and I still love it. I moved from a 4 door pickup and was very nervous about going to a sedan. No regrets. Also Ive looked and looked and can not find anything wrong with this vehicle. This is the only car Ive owned that Ive not had to take it back for some kind of warranty work.

  Its definitely a "sleeper" - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By Jay - October 23 - 5:01 pm

  I bought my 09 sonata used with 70k miles and have had no issues up to 96k miles during my ownership. Its reliability gives me the greatest sense of relief. For what it is, with its smaller v6, it really likes to show off if you let it. With good summer tires, and traction control off and in sport mode while manually shifting, on takeoff tires are almost garunteed to spin a little, very vocal. You can also get tires to spin in motion if you drop into first under 20 and hit it. No its not a performance car. But I have beat Mustangs, G35s, TL, Audi A4 & A6, MazdaSpeed3, and many other comparable V6s. Over 4000 rpm you can feel the valves open completely and a small surge in power. The addition of VVT was added in 09 I believe with direct injection. Gas mileage is great for all of this. And runs on regular.

  better out there - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By maxbald - October 11 - 7:13 am

  Now have 4500 miles on car and buyers remorse has hit hard. Edmunds and Consumer Reports got it all wrong with this car. And people that give it favorable reviews are not very car savvy. The car rides horrible..like it has broken shocks. The 4 cylinder only returns 18 mpg tops. Been back to the shop 3xs for problems. The car has a cheap feel to it and little annoyances such as the passenger side seat belt that always clangs against the pillar. Service rep said to duct tape it nothing else can be done. Would not recommend a Hyundai to anyone and I was forewarned. Its junk. You get what u pay for sometimes less. Its crap thats why it loses over 60% of its value in a short time.

  GREAT 4 DOOR and Feels Like an Accord - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By Todd H - September 29 - 9:10 pm

  Rides Smooth and Shifts Smooth---Solid and Nice Fit and Finish---Like the New Front Grill and Inside Blue Night Lights. Has all the features I desire: Cruise, Nice Standard CD/Radio and LOVE the XM radio, power mirrors and windows. Rides Really Quiet and Smooth. My First Hyundai and VERY PLEASED and I have owned Toyota, Cadillac, Lincoln, Buick, Ford, and such. Big Trunk and Big Spacious Backseat. Like the sunglass holder and Ipod Aux jack. My first month has been very pleasurable! Love the warranty and a great car for under $14,000!

  Nice Car - Good Value - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By Tim Sottek - September 27 - 5:36 pm

  This one beats the heck out of my 2000 Camry..or any of my dozen or so GM, Ford or Chysler products from the last 30 years. It is comfortable, gets much better mileage than advertised, and drives better than the Edmunds people rate it. I took an emergency 90 degree turn at about 30 mph and the car didnt roll or leave the road.

  I love this car..... - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By LidaRose - September 25 - 8:23 pm

  I researched and drove other cars for 3 months. My short list also included the Fusion, Camry and Accord. I kept going back to this one because I got everything I was looking for without having to buy a package (or not be able to get it at all) not to mention the warranty. The Camry had shifting issues, the Fusion didnt have stability control, the Accord dashboard was ugly and confusing. I only have 1000 miles on it, but so far its been an amazing car. Im getting 21-22 mpg avg city and hwy combined. I got the SE auto - had a Taurus and the v6 best fit what I was used to driving. It has more than enough power for me. It handles well, shifts so smoothly and looks great too.

  Very Satisfied With Our New Sonata - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By Near Huntsville - September 11 - 1:40 pm

  Fuel efficiency of this model was a major factor in my decision to go with Hyundai. After 6500 miles I am averaging 29 MPG around Huntsville, AL in mixed city/interstate driving. The interior of this car is laid out well. The power seat is great because it allows for small tweaks while driving to maintain driver comfort. The stock radio sounds very good and having the USB port allows me to play MP3s from a flash drive, and XM radio is a big plus too. The A/C cools quickly and has to be turned down a bit, even on hot days. The interior is so quiet that I feel like Im in my own little zone on the way home from work each day.

  so far GREAT!!!! - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By bayou man - September 6 - 9:53 am

  After much research and comparisons we decided on the SE v6, this style gave us more standard options than any of the others. Plus several other options added at no extra charge, add in the warranty and it was a easy decision. It may have a little less horsepower rating than some of the top competitors but unless you buy it to drag race, or want to exceed 145 mph I think it is more than efficient. You get advantage of great gas mileage 32.5 hyway,would only wish I could have got that kind of mileage with my 63 Impala SS W/ SAME HP. BEATS OUR 2.5L V6 mAZDA by a long shot.Ride is awesome, quite, smooth and precise, interior is great. Find a better deal than this buy it.
