  • 2011 Sonata SE - 2011 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    Unbelievable impressed. Style, MPG and value with good pick up and nice ride. Was considering a accura TSX and this car is same size with nicer styling and MPG. Also 5K cheaper which is another plus. Tech features of keyless, blue tooth, IPOD, 18 inch wheels are great. Looks like a combo merced and Lexus. Just hope long term the quality holds

  • Previous Maxima Owner - 2011 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    My previous three cars have been Nissan Maximas. And while I have been satisfied with the ride and dependability of that car, I felt like I wanted something different. After reading all of the reviews and having test drives of some pretty good competitors, I chose the Sonata turbo. To me, the interior is as nice as the Mercedes C300 and nicer than the Lexus IS250 that I tested. The price was unbelievable for all of the options that I got (Limited, Turbo, nav system, Nitrogen filled tires). My purchasing experience was excellent and the warranty is great. I have had the car three days and it performs beautifully. I am very pleased with my purchase.

    The first 2500 miles has been everything it was advertised to be. Good Quality, gas mileage along with adequate power and eye catching styling.

  • Crappy, Crappy Car - 2011 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    Hyundai makes absolute junk! I have a 2011 Sonata where the engine completely failed at 61,000 miles with ZERO warning. A quick Google search let me know I wasnt the only sucker that got stuck with one of the worst engines since the Internal Combustion engine was developed. Let the Buyer beware! Buy this heap at your own risk. You will regret it. I hope the company goes bankrupt.

  • I love Hyundais - 2011 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    I traded my 2009 Sonata in for a 2011 Sonata, it had 15,350 miles I love the Sonata I read everything i could find on the new Sonata, and got a very good deal, plus a loyal customer discount of 500.00 and they paid off the 2009 with money left over. I love the engine and handling looks are impeccable, the paint job on the new Sonata is better than the 2009. The only thing i dont care for is the different tires I miss my Michelin tires a lot quieter. MPG is great I tried it at 70mph with a/c on and cruise got 43 MPG. Also got the dealer option of the 5 year oil and rotation for $150.00 if oil goes up thats a deal

  • Best car Ive ever had! - 2011 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    Ive had my 2011 Sonata Turbo since February and I love it. I could not be happier with the performance, features, look of the car and the great customer service that Hyundai had offered since I leased my car. In addition, the warranty and unlimited roadside service is the icing on the cake. I would recommend the Sonata - or any Hyundai to all of my friends and family. I leased my car from Temecula Hyundai - no pressure, great customer service, great follow up - if you live in the San Diego area I would recommend visiting them if you are in the market for a new car.

  • Gas mileage disappointing - 2011 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    Overall great car..However, the gas mileage on this car is far removed from what was promised..Ive been averaging about 18 MPG on the average, far below what was promised and expected..

  • Favorite Car Yet! - 2011 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    I bought my car in May 2010 and absolutely love it. The way it handles, the sporty/sleek look inside and out, acceleration, storage, versatility of going from XM to iPod to AM/FM to CD - fantastic all around. Its an incredibly fun car to drive and I get stopped by strangers repeatedly to ask me about the features or just commenting on how pretty it is. When I started my search I looked at features on the Honda Accord, Toyota Camry and Mazda 6. The options that were comparable to the Sonata (if the other cars even offered them) averaged $4,000-$6,000 more and truthfully I didnt like the other designs nearly as much. Going to upstate NY on cruise I was able to get 580 miles from a tank!

  • Good and getting better - 2011 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    I have been driving my GLS for about a month now and so far I continue to be impressed. The integrated blue tooth is really nice and I love how you can stream music from your i-phone to the car speakers using it. The ride quality is about what I expect from this class of car but unfortunately the steering feels a bit disconnected especially at highway speeds. The SE may do a better job. I really like the exterior styling and have gotten several compliments. I get about 27 mpg with an even mix of highway and city miles which is impressive. Overall I dont think you can get more for your money and I am happy with my decision. Never thought Id own a Hyundai but now Im proud to say I do.

  • Just picked it up - 2011 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    I will review after 10K miles as everyone loves a car they just got, but having owned 15 new cars in 20 years I can say that this car is worth more than sticker. Smokes the Camry in value.
