  • Wish Id waited... - 2011 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    Wish Id waited until they got all the bugs out of the new design. Got a 2011 limited w/ sunroof as soon as they came out. Bro-in-law got identical one next day after seeing mine. March 2011, sunroof defective and pass. floorboard soaked! Bro-in-law had same problem. Took them 2wks to fix before got mine back. Bro-in-law took his back 4x before leak stopped! Walked out Sunday and soaked again!(nothing left cracked open). Both of us have had issues with push button starter (he took his in was so bad). During hotter months, my kids burn up in the back with A/C on full blast! Appreciate the mpg but gosh-car is a year old with less than 14k miles on it!!! Anybody else having leak prob?

  • Great value, poor training of dealer techs, lousy GPS - 2011 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    This car is by far the best value for any new car Ive purchased. The gas mileage is awesome. I frequently receive comments on the car - it looks great. My major complaint has to do with the navigation system - it is horrible! My little dash-mounted $99 Garmin is WAY better. If you want do something as simple as find a highway intersection, you cant. The bluetooth audio is poor as well - you are supposed to be able to listen to music from your phone, but the volume is extremely low. And the dealership techs/mechanics dont know a thing about them.

  • Near Perfect Car - 2011 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    Would have given it a perfect rating but the ride is not perfectly smooth. Limited is supposed to be the "luxury" model & it is. The features are awesome. The ride isnt totally smooth, maybe its the roads I drive on - but I was expecting a noticeable difference vs my last car & theres a difference, just slight.

  • Lots of tire noise! - 2011 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    Hit a road that isnt perfectly smooth and youll think youre driving an Excel not a Sonata. Far too much road noise compared to other cars in this class. It has the same tire noise level as my 2001 Ford Focus. I had Dynamat insulation installed under back seat and fiberglass insulation put inside the car above the wheel wells and two layers of yoga mats in the trunk and it did nothing to reduce the tire noise. Has anyone tried other tires? Im thinking of getting Michelin Primacys.

  • its not a lexus - 2011 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    Its an excellent value for the money. The body style is the thing that first called my attention to this car. I have noted that, over the past 5 years, so many other makes, foreign and domestic, have copied all or parts of the body style. The engine has been extremely reliable as have the braking system. There were some front end suspension problems which have been corrected under my warranty. Warranty is excellent.

  • Love my new 2011 Sonata Limited - 2011 Hyundai Sonata

    Beautiful car. Just bought it but 4 days later, Air conditioning failed, here in Florida, not a good thing. Took back to dealership today and they had to order a part. High pressure A/C line got a leak.

  • Suprised - 2011 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    I have really been surprised and happy with my purchase. I bought the 2011 Hyundai Sonata limited version. I was hesitant to buy it because I dont like the look of other sonatas but i saw this and liked it. I traded in my Yukon for this to save on gas and that has paid off Big time!! I am averaging 32 mpg in the city! Ride is smooth and I receive so many compliments on my car. People think its a Mercedes or Lexus at quick glance. I am very pleased with this purchase.
