  Great Car - Great Price - 2011 Hyundai Sonata
  By midas69 - October 5 - 8:03 pm

  It took an awful lot for me to ever consider buying a Hyundai. But this car offers so much value for the money that it was impossible to ignore. Finding another car with the same feature set would have cost $3K more at minimum. But it wasnt until I actually drove the car that I realized that even spending more wasnt going to get me a better car. I went in expecting to have to settle for a Hyundai. I walked out convinced it was the best car in its class regardless of price.

  If youre ready for a pleasant change - 2011 Hyundai Sonata
  By SYK - October 4 - 2:23 pm

  Very satisfied with the performance since purchasing the 2011 Sonata 3 months ago and the feeling is not wearing off. Strangers have approached my car to check out the vehicle design or the "buzz" about the new Sonata. I absolutely recommend others to own/lease one or at least take a test drive before deciding on which car to choose in its class. Your decision will be simple after the test drive as it was for me. If youre looking for a change, 2011 Sonata is the choice. Shh! (I prefer driving my Sonata over my dads LS300.) Great job Hyundai!

  Unbelievable - 2011 Hyundai Sonata
  By david vogt - October 4 - 10:00 am

  I have owned a lot of cars over the years, Chevy, Cadillac, Mercedes, Jaguar, Ford, Mercury, Chrysler, Dodge, Audi, Subaru and now a Hyundai. I was looking for a car for my daughter, happened to stop in and look at the compact Hyundais, walked into the showroom and there it was, a red 2011 Hyundai sonata limited. The next day after work the wife and I went to the dealer to test drive a limited, told them to work up a price for me on the red one in showroom. We came back after both driving the other car looked at each other and said well take the red one! After a short test drive in the red one back to the dealer to finish deal. Now after 1500 mi everything is wonderful! Very good bang for the buck!

  I should have - 2011 Hyundai Sonata
  By Matt_Landers - September 30 - 10:06 pm

  Bought my 2011 Limited in Feb.10. Traded from an Accord EX-L. Should have kept the Accord. Traded back three months later to an Accord. The Sonata wasnt a bad car but MUCH preferred how an Accord handles and holds the road. The Sonata had a lot of features and value for the money and for some people it may be a great car. It wasnt for me. Had some issues with the muffler and build quality problems inside the cabin that the dealer was unable to make right, in my opinion. Ive found there is less risk with Honda quality and resale value for sure. I may consider a Hyundai down the road but for now, ill pass on the Sonata. Hyundai def. has come a long way and I hope they keep going!

  Oops I should have got smt else,,,smt reliable - 2011 Hyundai Sonata
  By peter127 - September 16 - 9:32 am

  Had for a little over 2 years, lately I have been going to a delearship often to have issues fixed. Major issues I found were, engine wont start, thankfully I was in town. Front door wont unlock with a remote, I had to use back door to open front door last time I did that was ,,,,never ,,,Current issue, I heard a hamming sound from the dashboard, it actually felt like some one was mowing grass, honestly I rolled down my window to check. They said it was at the back of the radio unit and they took out the whole unit including gps. Guess what I am driving, a car with a big hole on my dashboard,,that could be ok but I feel it is not reliable. Better spend ur hard earned money on reliable car!

  WOW!!!! - 2011 Hyundai Sonata
  By Deb - September 8 - 6:30 pm

  I just took delivery of my 2011 Sonata Limited with Nav. This car is all I was hoping it would be. Ive been waiting to see it since the first time I heard it was coming. And the pictures dont do it justice. It is a fun to drive, economical, and good looking vehicle. My husband has been trying to get me out of my Acura for years and this car finally gave me a reason to do so. I am impressed by all the standard features and the quality of everything about it. I like to "feel" my stereo when I listen and this car delivers on that count. The acceleration is way better than I expected. And all of this for a whole less money than I ever expected. I highly recommend this car!!!!!

  Competent Family Car - 2011 Hyundai Sonata
  By tristanboy - September 6 - 11:26 pm

  Stylish car that needs more substance. Although a good effort, still not class leading. Steering feel is a well known issue for modern Hyundais. It feels extremely numb. The powertrain is very powerful. Get decent gas mileage around 25 mpg combined. Interior materials are nice although the center console plastics are rather cheap and the blue lighting at night is hard to read at a glance. Owned the car since November 2010. Other than routine service, I had to have the rear-view mirror replaced, the A/C actuator fixed, a new key fob. Fairly reliable and holding up well. Car at 29,000 miles.

  A Major Defect - 2011 Hyundai Sonata
  By taciturn - September 1 - 7:56 pm

  My Sonata is 3 months old. This review is exclusively to warn all potential buyers of a major defect that Hyundai is aware of, yet is doing nothing about. Namely; the steering wheel locks up when you turn the car off. This was supposedly an anti-theft device the company came up with. However, when the steering wheel inadvertently locks up, the driver must furiously shake the steering wheel back and forth to disengage the locking device. Naturally, my family and I learned this the hard way. Getting stuck, being unable to get the device to disengage. 2 Hyundai dealers now tell me that the company is aware of this problem. Wow, thats impressive !

  Unexpected Pleasure - 2011 Hyundai Sonata
  By James Gann - August 29 - 4:16 pm

  Ive only had this car one week but it has been more than I expected: it handled well in a recent snow storm, is averaging a combined mpg of 26, the fit and finish is excellent, the engine is quite responsive for a 4 cylinder, and the suspension is taught but comfortable. The interior fit and finish is exceptional with nice materials. I have cloth and leather seating. It has some of the electronic toys on it that are seen on much more expensive cars; like, Bluetooth phone connection and proximity keys.
