  • Best Car Value - 2006 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    After looking for a new car to buy over the last three years, I settled on the Sonata LX as the best value. This model seems to finally compare favorably to the accord and camry on design and quality. The V6 is powerful and fun to drive. It does look very similar to the accord. Seems like Hyundai tries in many ways to make people think it is a honda! It does all this for considerably less money. Major complaints are the gas mileage (average 15mpg with mainly city driving) and the front seats do not give much leg support for tall people.

    I did not expect such excellent quality from Hyundai. Well this one runs like a Lexus LS350. The top two Japanese brands such as Honda and Toyota won their high reputation over the past couple decades. I think Hyundai will achieve the same high reputation within the next two years.

    I saw, I drove, I own. This car is simply amazing for the dollar/fun raio. This being my fifth Hyundai, I may be a little biased, but compared to the Toyota and Honda, the Sonata wins my money every time. Great job Hyundai!!

  • Finally, a Toyota/Honda Killer - 2006 Hyundai Sonata

    Picked it up from the local dealer, Delray Hyundai, nice guys. They had the car from a dealer trade (previous dealer had a $1,900.00 adjustment on it...ouch for Miami). The car is great. Took it on a 3800 mile trip already and it feels great. More room in the back seat area than ANY other car like it. The truck--- my son said it could hold 3 bodies... Well, at least 4 peoples luggage. 4cyl-4sp Auto is just fine. Its a great car.

  • good for the money - 2006 Hyundai Sonata

    I did a lot of research on this car and its competitors. My objectives were to replace my 1995 Camry with something similar in size, miles per gallon, and price. I felt that the Sonata was the best deal out there. It had many standard features that were options with similar cars. I am enjoying driving this car, but I am not satisfied with the mpg rates I am getting. For a combined city/highway driving, I am averaging only about 18-19 mpg. I thought that buying a 4 cyl. I would be doing better with the gas. It is also rather noisy on the freeway. I also find the trunk very heavy to lift. Regardless, I am enjoying the solid feel, the radio, and the overall maneuverability

  • Great Value - 2006 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    I purchased this vehicle to replace my 2003 Mini Cooper (too small). A+ to the team at Hyundai. I am very pleased with my purchase. This is our second Hyundai and this company keeps improving every year. Interior quality and design are of a very high standard. Powerful, quiet, and fuel efficient v-6. It rides smoothly on the highway and it handles well in small curvy roads. The standard safety features, stability control and curtain air bags, were a big factor in our purchase of this vehicle over the established Camry and Accord. I also prefer the styling of the Sonata over the Japanese competition. In my opinion, this is simply the best value in the mid-size market segment.

  • Surprisingly fun - 2006 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    Hyundai Sonata fun? You bet! I would have never thought that I could get 80% of an A6 for less than half the price. This car has people staring trying to figure out who makes it. I thoroughly enjoy the comfort, quietness and overall performance of this vehicle and would recommend it to anyone looking for a sporty midsized car with a modest, but stunning look.

  • Good Buy For The Money - 2006 Hyundai Sonata

    Good quality for the money. Many standard options that are extra on others of the same class both domestic and foreign. Cannot beat the warranty!
