  • Sonata- 9 days 500 miles so far - 2011 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    After 25 years of Camrys the Sonata comes awfully close to the quiet ride. Tested well on the infamous Long Island Expressway-windows up can hardly hear the trucks. The engine is soft,smooth and the ride quiet Its peppier than the Camry but slightly less smooth gear shifting. The seats are comfortable. Its beautifully designed handles great and the mileage on first tank is over 26. Music system is better than Camry almost as good as the upgraded JBLs Best of all coming loaded with PEP2 and Homelink except for no 6 cd changer and rear AC vents it cost 18,100 which is 3000 less than I paid for the XLE 8 years ago. GREAT CAR

  • Very Dissapointed! - 2011 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    My 2011 Sonata is not even a remote competitor of Honda, Toyota, or Ford. I received my car with a defective door latch and terrible rattles in this door dashboard and console. The drivers side door pillar has a scratch. Several weeks later, my front drivers seat started to fray at the seams. The vanity mirror does not open, and rattles have reappeared. I sat in the back seat for the first time and folded down the rear seat center console only to find a deep 5 inch scratch across the cup holder! Hyundai needs to slow down and identify how these quality control lapses occurred – as this is NOT quality. It would be nice to try restoring my faith in your product- which is rapidly dwindling

    We looked at several autos and for the money and options and styling. GREAT The car was a dealer trade had a stiff ride. My dealer checked the air pressure. Was 38 psi should be 33psi. Now the ride is normal. Always check everything before signing.

  • From a fun convt to a 4dr sedan - 2011 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    Hated to give up my Sebring Convt bought new in 02 but after 100k it was time. (Ill miss it this summer) When I saw the Sonata on tv (Super Bowl ads, I was impressed. As follow up I looked at those on lots and at the Cleveland Auto Show. I love the looks and interior. The price was in my range so I bought the SE model. Its features are plentiful and practical. Bluetooth is great and Im glad the dealer did the connection. Not sure Ill use the "Paddle" shift. Gas mileage on 1st tank was 28.2 mpg, about 5 more than the convert, so Im glad of that. Still getting used to the features-- not sure XM is for me, but its a nice option. Hope the 18" wheels dont hurt when replaced$$$. Glad to Buy.

  • Nice, sporty, roomy, and fun to drive - 2011 Hyundai Sonata

    Purchased my 2011 Sonata two days ago after looking and test driving Honda and Sonatas. Once I drove the sonata it was easy to choose the sonata. I love all the features that come with the SE and I added the Nav package and love it.

  • A great car and buy - 2011 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    It was love at first sight. I first saw the 2011 Sonata in the rear view mirror of my 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe, also a wonderful vehicle. After reading reviews of the car in Car and Driver and Motor Trend, I started shopping around for one, and purchased the Limited edition. Its absolutely a marvelous car . It drives great, the ride is smooth and it has all the power that one could want. The styling is spectacular as is the gas mileage. I have just returned from a 1,200 mile round trip from Md. to Michigan, and averaged 38.6 miles per gallon at highway speeds. The Limited edition has all the luxury features of autos priced at many thousand dollars more.

  • Fun reliable and gas mizer - 2011 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    The deal for this car was very easy. The ride is fun and the car is beautiful. My wife kept it for her and gave me the Infinity. We took it to the coast to break it in and got 38 MPG. There is a little road noise but overall this car is great for the price, would recommend it highly.
