  • Truly a Life saver! - 2006 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    I just finished totaling my 2006 Hyundai. I smashed into another car driving about 45 mph after that car ran a red light. Thanks to my Hyundai, which we bought based on safety ratings, I walked out of the car. The other person is still in the hospital. The specialized seats that prevent whiplash work like a charm - no symptoms at all! This car did a great job and I am set to buy another Hyundai soon. As a Physical Therapist, I see a lot of MVA injuries. I am so thankful that I had this car and didnt become a patient myself!

  • dont buy this car! - 2006 Hyundai Sonata

    Please keep on getting those tired old Camrys & Accords; because I really like having the best looking car in the neighborhood. I really feel smug about all those extra features that I have and they dont. Took my boss for a ride and he said "my 04 BMW 535 doesnt even have some of this stuff" ha! So keep on buying those other cars and I’ll keep on looking like the smartest guy in the neighborhood. Oh yeah, makes me look like I got bucks too. (Don’t tell people how little it cost!!!)

  • My first and maybe last car - 2006 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    I did it. I went out and got a new car. After spending hours in many different makes and models, I couldnt get the Sonata out of my head. The price was great compared to other competing sedans, and the safety records sold me. Having a two yr old son, I jumped at the chance for a safe vehicle. The cab, whisper quiet. The body was beautiful. I got mine in cinnamon with the beige cloth interior. Very classy. I have owned it for only 4 days, but I never felt anything like this. Im weary on approx. gas mileage, sticker said 20hwy/30 city, but I read instances of lower than what was claimed by manufacturer. Other than that Im loving it. Ill keep you updated in the future if anything changes.

  • Wow - 2006 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    Ive owned 15 sedans so far in my life and this Sonata is the best, period. I cant believe I can get all of these safety features and "options" at a price $5000 lower than my previous Toyota. There is absolutely no reason to buy Toyota anymore. Everything works perfectly and I LOVE the A/C. Its colder than my freezer in the summer heat! It handles well, gets admiring looks from neighbors and can seat five people comfortably. The build quality is really awesome. I now believe the Consumer Reports story that Sonata is the best quailty car in the USA. I just wish I had a bit more money to get the V6. I hear thats even better! Bye Toyota!

  • Terrific Car - 2006 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    The car is smooth riding, very quiet, and has a lot of pick-up. Accelerating is no problem in this car, as it gets up to high speeds with no problem. The steering is good, although there is a little bit of understeer at higher speeds.

    Theyve come a long way! Ive driven Camrys for 21 years and this car is better in both performance and fit & finish. The buying process was also much easier and far less aggressive than Toyota. After 2500 miles, my only disappointment (?) is that I dont get 30 mpg with the air conditioning running constantly--not that I REALLY expected it.

  • More than expected - 2006 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    Driving is excellent, great accelaration. Car was a showroom car, with euro body kit and 20inch rims. Seats are comfortable, dash board is nicely done. Woodgrain gives it a nice touch of luxury feel. Getting compliment from friends and co-workers about the look of the car. Most are suprise its a Hyundai.

  • Love my Sonata - 2006 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    Drove the Accord, Camery and the Subaru. The Sonata is a basic luxury car. By that I mean it has all the right stuff where I want/need it, not overstuffed with gadgets like the Honda. Ride is excellent and relaxing. Our first Hyundai, but not our last (if it ever wears out!). I have nothing neg to say about this car, love what it looks like too.
