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.

  Best value I could Find - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By tuckerjm - February 6 - 6:26 am

  Been shopping for a car for 4 years. Intensive research. May not be the best car car, but it is a great car anyway. Definitely the best value for the money in its class hands down. Feature rich vehicle that you dont pay extra for.

  four and counting - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By redswd - February 2 - 5:23 am

  This is my fourth Hyundai and my third Sonata and they just keep getting better and better. the new 4 cyl. has plenty of power but does its business without harshness or excessive noise. Ride quality has improved noticeably and road and wind noise levels have improved. Havent had it long enough to log my mpg. Will come back when thats sorted out. The exterior changes this year are minimal and add only a little to the already pleasant design. This cars forte is the new interior. Beautiful, quiet, comfortable, spacious about sums it up. Kudos to whoever designs their interiors!

  Best Value - Price, Perf, Std Features - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By mckim - January 30 - 5:36 am

  I test drove both the Accord and Camry before deciding to purchase the Sonata. The Sonata drove smooth (>Accord, >=Camry) and had the quietest cabin while driving. Add the std safety features and the Sonata was a no brainer. Some people wrote they didnt care for the 2009s updated body lines, but I have a friend with a 2007 and I like the 2009 much better. The taller front grill (now chrome), larger, brighter headlights and overall more angular body lines give the 2009 a more aggressive look. I really like the new interior. The center console looks modern and sports blue lights and a new large display radio. Everything feels solid, esp the doors. Very quiet engine and while driving.

  Third Sonata - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By JF Parker - January 9 - 7:03 am

  This is our 3rd Sonata and each one is better than the last. It is the best dollar for dollar value on the road, delivering power and comfort whether in the mountains or on the interstate. The dealer service is consistent, thorough, and priced competitively. Any minor issues have been satisfactorily corrected. Steering is tight and responsive with good road feel, acceleration is strong, leather seats are comfortable but firm and secure. Really like the tire pressure monitor gauge. Everyone who has ridden in the car is surprised by its interior space, styling, and comfort. And we still have the 05, a friend is now driving the 01.

  12000+ on the odo and still diggin it - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By still very happy - November 26 - 9:00 pm

  This is my 3rd review and I now have over 12,000 miles on my Sonata. I recently averaged 31.6 mpg on a family trip at speeds between 75 & 80 mph, which seems to validate the "broken-in engine gets better gas mileage" statement. My ONLY gripe thus far is the low tire pressure warning light that comes on intermediately in error. Not the end of the world, but annoying when you find yourself pulling over to check your tire inflation for no reason. Otherwise, for above-average "basic" transportation, this car is hard to beat. Id even recommend this car to my enemies.

  Wife loves Car - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By bklynguy - November 12 - 10:13 am

  Was tired of noisy poky 4 cyl cars and decided to go for broke with a top of the line midsized V6. With gas at $4 a gallon, had second thoughts about the V6. Test drove the Sonata SE and was impressed. With the Limited V6 priced about 6K less than the Camry XLE or Honda EX, decided to go for broke and use the savings for gas. Now that the price of gas has come down, Im delighted with the choice. Wife mostly drives it and loves it.

  Buy This Car - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By oceanis281 - November 8 - 3:00 am

  Have put over 17K miles in less then 9 mos and she still rides like a dream. Not ONE issue in any area that had to be fixed under warranty so far. The car rides as nice and quiet as my friends Lexus 350. Great looking car also. Handles well in the snow with just the 2 wheel drive. Whenever one of my friends rides in the car for the first time they almost always ask what kind of car it is and comment on how well it rides and feels. Priced and tested Honda Accord, Nissan Altima, Toyota Camry and this is by far the BEST value. The 100k warranty isnt bad also. This is the FIRST car with a sun/moon roof in which I can fit, being 6-5. and I still have plenty of head and leg room.

  WOW!!! - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By newguy - November 5 - 12:26 pm

  This is the first Hyundai product That Ive purchased. I am very impressed overall with this car. The power of the 4cyl is more than sufficient to get on the freeway here in Houston,TX and the cruise at 70mph+. The interior is very well appointed,I recommend the upgrade to power drivers seat and the sunroof!The wheel mounted audio controls are a must! Very nice to drive and handles like a much heavier car, not much road bump transmission!! The exterior is a bit plain,but still nice. I would say that for the money you cant beat this car. It replaced a Chevy HHR, the back seat is large enough to fit my daughter, who is 58"! Not bad for a car that gets 28 mpg even in heavy traffic!
