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.

  2009 Sonata SE - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By MBashore - November 20 - 4:16 pm

  Overall, I really enjoy the car. The only thing is the dashboard squeak when it is cold outside. I notice when it warms up, there is no dashboard squeak. The interior of the car is nice, but the outside (besides the front) is a little plain. The 4 cylinder does not really have too much power taking off, but while on the highway, if you press down the pedal, itll give you the power you need.

  Sonata is fantastic - mpg over 30!! - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By Dan C - November 14 - 9:50 am

  My Sonata is the SE V6 model. This car is really amazing. The V6 rolls down the interstate at 75-80 with no effort at all. Have just gone by 13k miles. Once this got to around 12,000 miles, the fuel economy was almost unbelievable. Now averaging over 30mpg with set @ 75mph!! Handling is great. Seats are really comfortable. If theres better performance coupled with fuel economy in a V6 with 250 hp, Id be surprised. We bought this over the Accord, Camary and Malibu and so for have NO regrets at all!!

  Very good car - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By Jim - November 5 - 11:03 pm

  This is our second Hyundai after having 2 prior Hondas. Our XG350 was a better travel car, but our V6 Sonata handles better due to a less soft suspension and has 50hp more. Love the GPS and Bluetooth, as well as the standard 350 watt Infiniti sound system. Our onboard mpg computer pegs in-town at 22mpg, and generally 31-32 mpg on a flat, straight highway like I- 20. 5 year bumper-to-bumper and 10 year mechanical warranties will probably go unused.

  Worth reading - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By John - September 28 - 12:50 pm

  Let me start by saying that I think any new car review by owner needs to be prefaced with "What car were you driving before you bought this ?" Everyone has their own standards by which the judge a car. It would be helpful to know where the owner is "coming from". In my case, I was driving a 97 4Cyl Camry with 101K miles. I have owned the Sonata for 3 months now, and so far I am really pleased with all aspects of it. Initially I felt that the steering was a little bit of a slave to the road, pulling either way depending on which side of the crown I was on. But that has worked itself out after the first month. This is a great car.

  Incredible Surprise - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By ftessina - September 26 - 8:46 am

  Never thought I would even consider, let alone buy a Hyundai. Read online write-ups and reviews of Sonata, Camry, Altima, and Impala. Liked all of the cars, but Sonata was by far the least expensive with more useful features than the others. Smooth, strong and quiet acceleration with the six. Handles better than reviews led me to believe. Gas mileage is great. Lots of interior room. Weve owned a Lexus, 3 BMWs and traded an Acura and this car held its own with all of them at a much lower price. Tremendous Value! Not the flashiest car, but no better car for the money.

  bump, bump, bang, bang - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By lenstang - September 23 - 3:00 am

  I did my homework when it came to buying this car.I read reviews on line and in magazines. I asked owners about their cars. I compared prices. I thought I did a good job. I test drove a couple of Sonatas also. So I should have been happy with the car. However I didnt get to test drive the cars over bumpy roads. This car makes the worst noise over bumps I have ever heard. Every wheel on this car just bangs over almost every bump I hit. I did have the dealer check out the car. They said there wasnt anything wrong. I took one of the service guys out for a ride. I really couldnt demonstrate the noise. The roads in the area are smooth. I would not recommend buying a Sonata.

  Love my new car. - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By tracker1 - September 1 - 1:43 pm

  I havent had this car but one day so far, but went on a half a dozen test drives, and sat in more than a handful of cars. This is by far the most fun Ive had driving a car in some time. My last car was a Buick Park Avenue, and this car while slightly smaller on the inside is a far better performer, and has nearly all the features of the Buick.

  My Second Hyundai - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By Hyaguar05 - September 1 - 9:13 am

  I love this car, this is my second Sonata I also have a 2005. I think everything about this car is great, except the way they designed the air conditioning vents. I think because of angle of the vents on the dashboard, you have to almost close the vents all the way downward before you feel the air.

  Great Car - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By RNuts - August 8 - 11:00 am

  I have 10k miles on my Sonata. I have not had the first problem. MPG is great. Even with my wifes heavy foot, the car still gets 24mpg in town and we get 32 on the highway loaded down for a trip going 70mph. My GLS did not come with the auto on/off headlights but you can still leave the headlights turned on all the time and they will go off when you turn the engine off and remove the key. If you have BMW taste then do not consider this car. But if value means more to you than people judging you by the coolness of your car, then the Sonata is for you.
