    This car handles and rides great, I have the V6 so it also is very responsive, while providing great gas mileage.

    Traded in my 2005 Elantra GT for the Sonata LX. I have logged over 1000 miles in the past week and it has performed flawlessly. Im sold on Hyundai because of the performance of my Elantra GT. I had driven that car cross country and logged over 19,000 miles, through the heat of Florida to the frozen ski resorts in Idaho. So far I havent found any needed improvements other than the folding mirrors and XM radio. I find the gas milage averaging 28.5 with the V-6, I got 32 with the 4 cylinder Elantra. I dont know where everyone is coming up short on the MPG figures other than the trip computer is off, it will click off MPG while sitting still. Log your miles and divide by your gallons.

    Our 2006 Sonata LTD now has 18,000 miles and we have owned it 18 months. Pleasant to drive in small town traffic. Also performed very well on long trips and didnt miss a beat at 9000 ft altitude in the rockies on vacation. Large capacity trunk. It even ran good on 85 octane. Pleasure to drive at 80 miles an hour, very comfortable and roadworthy. More acceleration than youll ever need. Highway mileage 27-28 at real highway speeds, 30 mpg only if going 60 or less and no headwind. We have not needed any work done on the vehicle except oil/filter/tire rotation etc. Dealership is very accomodating.

  • You should test drive this car! - 2006 Hyundai Sonata

    My wife and I love this car. We have only had it for a short time but so far its been great. For a mid size car it is very smooth and quiet. The V6 engine is very strong and is a delight to drive around town and on the open highway. We drove the new car to San Antonio,Texas from Corpus Christi about 160 miles on our first road trip. I didnt drive fast... about 65 and we got 32 miles per gal. The next day on the way back home we drove against a very strong head wind and the mpg fell to 28. I would like to have more but you cant always have your cake and eat it too. If you want more miles per gal. go for the 4 cyl. But dont expect the same power as the V6.

    Ive logged over 12K miles over the first year and have no substantive complaints at all. The car has satisfied all of my expectations, and I dont consider myself easy to satisfy. Ive had no problems other than a ding on the roof from the dealer which he fixed perfectly while giving me a loaner. Mileage is running only about 22 mpg in mixed driving. You wont do better than this car for the money.
