    My wife and I have had this car for two years. My two children have had older Sonatas and we all would buy another. Drives and feels like a more expensive car. Had a BMW and think this is a much better car considering the price difference. Have never had it back in the shop for anything. Never did like the exterior, but the new models are very nice.

  • My 3rd Hyundai sonata - 2005 Hyundai Sonata

    I crashed my 03 Sonata it was a total loss (no injuries to anyone in my car). Bought an 04 and loved it, but saw the 05 GLS SV model with the bigger rims, homelink, sunroof and fell in love so I bought it. I still own my 1994 Excel and it runs great.

    I never really liked Hyundais but took one out for a test drive and fell in love..It is fun to drive and the dealorship bent over backwards to make the deal work. Exceptional Quality and very good price

  • Love of Sonata - 2005 Hyundai Sonata

    This is my second hyundai sonata, and I can say that, without a doubt, Sonatas are great vehicles. The power of the 4 cylinder is unlike any other, and the ride is smooth. It handles corners that other cars have to slow down for. I must say it is a good car for a single person, or for a small family. With loads of storage, and extra power ports for coolers, dvd players, or any such travel device, it is worth the money. with 10 year 100,000 first owner warranty, and 5 year 60,000 second owner warranty, it is definitely worth the money.

    Ive had to return the vehicle to the dealer one time for a minor hood adjustment. Other than that the car has been flawless, fun to drive and its frequently confused with some of the high-end Japanese imports. What a bargain!!!

  • Great Car - 2005 Hyundai Sonata

    Its a great car, loaded with room, style, solid, and just fun to drive. Handles better, runs smoother, and lots more ease of driving than our Mazda 626.

  • great care - 2005 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    great car, great options, great warranty, smooth to drive, price is unbeatable, we have had minivans and suvs, but notice little difference in travel, trunk is huge for a midsize and long trips are comfortable. we come from a family that all work for the major u.s. car companies where we could use the employee discounts, we still chose the sonata. the other cars in this class couldnt compare.....we will definately choose another hyundai and reccommend it to everyone

  • A pleasant surprise - 2005 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    After purchasing my 1st Hyundai in April 2005 it seems that every time I use my vehicle I find a new pleasant surprise. The power in this sedan is deceptive, I got more then I expected out of the 2.7L 6 Cyl. engine. My prior car was a Pontiac Bonneville and I would rate the Hyndai on par for comfort. In the sound system it was super. I keep my cars clean and have received a multitude of compliments for this Black (Ebony) and Charcoal interior. Last but far from least is the safety factor which I have researched and found to be exceptional. If Hyundai continues to build cars in this fasion, the have a repeat buyer with me. Good job guys !
