  • Sonata Best Sedan for Price - 2006 Hyundai Sonata

    This car has been been very reliable and it drives perfectly. The exterior rivels that of Audi and BMW. My only complaint is the bland and somewhat disfunctional interior.

  • Unsurpassed! - 2006 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    Amazing car for the price - Ive owned Toyota, Honda, Volkswagen, Infinfty, Audi & BMW and Im as impressed (if not more, considering price) with this car than I was with any of the others. It makes so much sense - on so many levels. The instrumention is intuitive, the ride responsive, the styling on the mark. The styling/$$ ratio far outstrips Camry, Accord, and Altima. So many positives - hard to go-there with suggestions for improvement.

  • Great Car - 2006 Hyundai Sonata

    This car has been great! We have had no major problems, and has been the first car that I didnt need to bring back to the dealer for "little warranty items" when we first got it. there was a problem with the car not starting after we parked it, but Hyundai roadside assistance came to the rescue and towed us to a dealer. The fuel pump went bad and was replaced under warranty (no out of pocket cost) and we havent had a problem since. The room in the cabin is terrific, especially in the back seat. The trunk is open and can fit more than I ever imagined. I would recomend this car to anyone.

    Since 1997, weve owned two Tiburons, an Elantra GT, and, currently, two Sonatas. This car is greatly improved over the previous generations. My wife has an 02, and theres absolutely no comparison. The ride is firm, yet supple; cornering is flat and agile; power is smooth and ample; the interior is comfortable and spacious; controls are intuitive and well-placed; there are amenities galore, and a plethora of standard safety features. All in all, not only a worthy rival to the Camry, Accord, Altima, Mazda6, G6, LaCrosse, Malibu, and Fusion, but better overall than most of these. When price and warranty are factored in, this Sonata is nearly irresistible.

  • Hyundai Means Business - 2006 Hyundai Sonata

    Great Car! If you want a solid car with the build quality of a Honda or Toyota without the sticker shock, this is it. Wife drives an 04 Santa Fe. She loves it, and it has performed wonderfully. Looked at a Sonata then, but the engines were just not that great. With the new/efficient engine and clean lines, Hyundai has a winner in the 06 Sonata. Anyone looking at an Accord or Camry would be well advised to drive a 2006 Sonata. Comparably equipped, its no contest! Sonata even looks better.

  • Love the car - 2006 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    Out the door price just over 23K! And I get ESC, TC, EBDS, Homelink, Heated Leather Seats, over-sized Moon Roof (its big), subwoofer & amp. Car is very well built and the fit & finish is better than Camry, on par w/ Accord. The interior is soft to the touch. Love the way the engine growls, especially in low rpms. Lots of low end torque for fast acceleration from dead stop. Downshifts smoothly during high speed passing. Nav is a $2500 dollar dealer installed option. Remove cd changer & replace w/ 8-9" screen. (visit Korean Hyundai site to see it) Hyundai uses Eclipse deck (very high quality, installing next month)

    This vehicle runs so quiet that I have to be careful not to try and start the engine again. Smooth driving, looks sharp, I wish it had a horn finder on the car keyless lock. The lights flash instead. I like the fact I can key into the mirror area my garage code, our homeowners gate access code, and my mothers garage code so I dont have to carry remotes. A great looking dash. I also like the shift feature for town driving. The dealership salesforce were not vultures. And I liked the price with the great warranty. Gas mileage, with air on and 80mph was 28.5 with cruise. Would probably be better at a decent speed.

  • This Car is a Keeper - 2006 Hyundai Sonata

    Love the car, I could sell this car, I also purchased one for my 73 year old mother. This car is a long life keeper!

  • A Grand Slam - 2006 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    I was waiting for the Azera to come to market, but needed to buy an automobile immediately. This LX is above belief. I dont know how Hyundai does it. It looks similiar to the Accord, but $4,500 less. It has most of the bells and whistles that are found in vehicles costing thousands more. I know that in the past Hyundais dont hold their resale value, but I think this is about to change.
