  • BRING BACK THE 05 - 2006 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    Personally I loved the 2005 sonata.I am a couriour and drive over 350000 miles a year.The 2005 gave me very few problems and was comfortable and easy to drive. The 2006 is still easy to drive however hyundai got rid of the more classy look that the sonata had.They gave it a sport look trying to copy honda instead of jaguar. The seats make your back hurt when u drive alot and the armrest in the middle will make your shoulder hurt.The armrest also has a spring in it that makes it a pain to closse when your driving.The transmission slips all the time and i think there may be a recall later on.I also think there may be a recall on the shift lever because it will slip out of park with littlpressr

  • My 3rd Hyundai and this is the best yet! - 2006 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    This is my 3rd Hyundai and I have loved them all. My 1st was a 99 Elantra, than an 04 Elantra now and 06 Sonata. Great cars. Well built and reliable. The car is so great. Have driven the V6 and did not need that so I have the I4. Enough power for me. This a great commuter car and my gas mileage is good. The car is quiet and still well built after 1 1/2 years. no squeaks or rattles. Tight gaps and nice interior materials.

  • The commercial was right! - 2006 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    The commercial says this is a Hyundai like youve never seen before and let me tell you, that aint no joke. Ive driven Accords, Camrys and, Altimas too. This car handles like a dream and is as smooth as butter. An all new, all aluminum 235hp V6, traction control, stability control, 4 wheel disks with ABS at all 4 wheels. Are you sure this is a Hyundai? If you buy an Accord, Camry, or Altima and you dont drive this car, You will be missing out. A V6 with duel exhaust! I love it! It truly is a Hyundai like youve never seen before.

  • You should BUY THIS CAR!!! - 2006 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    Only 1000 miles but I am very pleased. Camry/Accord didnt have enough room for my long legs; Sonata does. Plenty of room for my family of five and I find the front seats to be quite comfortable. Stable and secure ride, sure brakes, fantastic acceleration and very acceptable milage for a V6 as long as you dont try to red line the tach each time you take off; 32 hwy and about 20 city. I think the refinements and quality of the car may not quite match those of Accord and Camry and only time will tell how well it holds up, but the price makes this car an excellent value. Hyundai has come a long way in the past ten years. Ill post again after a few more thousand miles.

    It rides good, but a little noisy

  • WOW...what a deal on the new Sonata!! - 2006 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    This car has it all from heated leather seats, electronic compass, great sound system , excellent interior and faster than most cars in its class with the aluminum V6. The gas mileage is excellent if you can keep your lead foot off of this speedy vehicle. Hyundai reminds me of the early days of Honda...the price of this Sonata is going up in the future. The quality is unsurpassed even by Honda.

  • Quick little 4 Cyl. - 2006 Hyundai Sonata

    Every thing about this car is better, the trunk has more space and even with more HP than last years model this car still get between 32-37 mpg. on the highway.

  • Good Car - 2006 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    Great Car. Good fuel economy. Great power for a 4 cyl. Everything is great except for the drivers seat. I wish that the front part of it could be adjusted to a desired hight.

  • Wow - 2006 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    This my first Hyundai.I looked at Camreys,Accords and Altimas.But I fell in love with the Sonta. I drove them all and after my test drive in the V6 Sonta it was no contest. It has plenty of power and a ton of extras that can,t be beat. Its a ton of car for the buck.It handles great,rides smooth and quite at 85. Would liked to see a little better gas milage around town but it still not bad 18.5 per gal not with the preformance you get.
