  • So Far, So Good - 2006 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    Beautiful vehicle! Lots of power and lots of extras. The MPG seems (is!) less than advertised, and the when you take you foot off of the accelerator there seems to be a lot of drag in the automatic transmission - not sure if that is a feature or a bug. Overall, we are very happy with our Sonata. Time will tell as far as reliability, however the car feels solid so we dont expect any problems.

  • better than the accord or camry - 2006 Hyundai Sonata

    I am very impressed with this vehicle. It sells better than any other vehicle at our dealership at Enterprise Car Sales in Midvale, Utah. I researched this car for 8 months before making a purchase and I am very happy with my decision. It rates better than the accord or camry. 2006 is the first time this has ever happened!

    Hyundai has really become one of the best auto manufacturers in the world

  • The best deal around! I love it! - 2006 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    So far the car has been excellent in the 3 months I have owned it. In my opinion it is the BEST bang for your buck out there. If you are looking into buying an Accord, Camry or any other "midsize" sedan, do yourself a favor and test drive the Sonata. Its a better car for less money. The engine has plenty of punch to it for a 4 cyl and it gives a very quiet, smooth, and comfortable ride. I love the way the car looks too. It truly is "a Hyundai like you have never seen before".

  • Hooked on Hyundai - 2006 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    After dumping my mint condition 98 Lincoln Continental, I was worried about adjusting to a smaller engine. No worries now! No adjustment issues, Sonata is more quiet with a smoother ride. Paid a little extra and got the 10 yr bumper to bumper warranty. Upgraded raido to Eclipse GPS through dealership and love it, would never own a car w/ out one. Im getting 24 - 26 mpg on the hwy, but am doing 80 mph. Ill have a good laugh at the Honda Accord buyers when they take their cars in for service when their 3 yr warranty runs out! Parents dumped Cadillac for the Azera, sister dumped Civic for a Sonata, too. Stop hesitating and get one.

  • Love this car -- - 2006 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    If youre considering buying this car... BUY IT. You will love it. Im not just another driver, either. I know cars and test drove 15 before I picked this one. The only thing youll hate - the door/seatbelt chime. I live in Los Angeles and average 22 mpg on streets, 31 on open highways.

  • DRIVE THIS CAR before you buy! - 2006 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    This car has blown me away from day one. This car is more comfortable, quiet and refined than my Altimas and Maximas ever were. The V6 makes this car a very quick sedan, and it stays composed at all times. At 80mph on the highway, its nearly silent. When you factor in the performance, VALUE, refinement, all the standard safety features and the warranty - this is the only car to buy.

  • Why the major depreciation - 2006 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    I am extremely happy with my 06 LX Sonata except the depreciation. List on this was $23995 and now trade-in is $14900. WOW! I paid $19K but still a 21.5% in the first year. Never-the- less, plan on keeping. Ride is a little rough, performance is great, reliability is great, interior design well that has been beaten around the bush.

  • Just bought it. - 2006 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    Runs great, sounds and feels great. Few points deducted on interior of the LX for little things like the incomplete audio controls on the steering wheel (seek/skip), and the placement of the audio equipment, which is a good reach from the drivers seat. The interior is spectacular for the price but isnt luxurious as its more expensive competitors (accord, g6). Handling is excellent. Power and response is again, great for the price. Not a G6, but pretty close. Equal to the Mazda 6. And although it doesnt "feel" like it has the power of the malibus 3.5 it responds quicker. The "manual" feature is fun. Gas mileage isnt great in the class. Overall: Good car, but a great value.

  • Awesome - 2006 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    I have just 2,500 miles on my car, but the Sonata LX 3.3L is great. Very impressed with performance and looks. Will cruise all day at very high speeds. 17" tires look nice but do contribute to more road noise in a otherwise very quiet car. Lots of good comments from lookers.
