Overview & Reviews
The Hyundai Sonata receives minor exterior styling updates and an all-new interior for 2009, giving it one of the most upscale cabins in the midsize sedan class. Power and fuel economy have also been increased for both four- and six-cylinder engines, while the automatic transmission has been retuned for smoother shift quality. An auxiliary audio jack has been added to the standard features list, while the Limited trim level adds two-level heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control and an optional navigation system.
- Beautiful interior, velvety ride, spacious cabin and trunk, impressive value with long features list, lengthy warranty.

Great Bang for your buck - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
By Cecilia - March 14 - 5:06 amI considered the Honda Accord & Toyota Camry before deciding on the Hyundai. The most noticeable features which impressed me were the whisper-quiet interior and feature-rich Limited package. The Honda accord had nicer exterior stying and better handling, but for the thousands of dollars more for equivalent features, was simply not worth it. As others have noted, the suspension needs tweaking- it leans noticeably in corners, and shock absorption on rough roads ruins the otherwise quiet isolation in the cabin. Overall, its an excellent value for someone looking for a refined luxury ride with exception power from the 3.1L V6 engine. Overall, Im very satisfied.

Dittos with Everyones Review - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
By IndyCheeseHead - January 27 - 2:23 pmI have 6200 miles since August on my Sonata. Ive been commuting 600 miles every weekend. Smooth ride, plenty of power and excellent interior layout. The car feels much more expensive than what it cost. Im averaging between 33-35 on the highway. I checked out most of the competition and nothing came close for the price, safety features and warranty. Test drive one and youll be impressed.

Great car, not just for the money - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
By Jojo - January 23 - 11:33 pmWe purchased this car to replace my 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee. After doing a lot of research we decided on the Sonata. I couldnt be happier. The ride is smooth, but not floaty. The 2.4 has just enough power, and gets terrific mileage. Interior and Exterior design are awesome. This is one well built, well thought out car.

Not Much Wrong with this Car - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
By bmac50 - November 28 - 2:20 amLess then 1400 miles, one of the first things I did was change the air filter to K&N, seeing 23 MPG in town, on the road I dont know yet but some mixed with mostly town 26. More than enough pick up to get out of the way and starting in 1st. Very roomy, good seats and driving position, wish the seat bottom was a little longer but on any car I do. Easy to read gauges, very strong brakes and great audio system. Of course the best warranty in the business doesnt hurt. Easy to get the steering wheel where you like with both tilt and telescopic. Wasnt really that hot about leather or the moon roof but Im finding I was quite wrong.

Excellent Car - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
By Andre - November 12 - 4:56 pmThis is my 3rd Sonata. I had the 2003, 2006 and now have owned the 2009 for 9 months. You cant beat the price for such a quality car. I get 33 mpg on hwy and 29 combined city/hwy. The 2009 is superior to both 2003 and 2006 for that. The ride is quiet and comfortable. The oil filter is placed right on top of the engine, which makes it easy to replace... A brilliant idea!

Money well spent. - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
By tomc - November 4 - 2:03 pmWe got a Sonata because our previous car was starting to show its age (2000 Ford Focus). We also own a Tucson and the reliability is outstanding so we bought another Hyundai. I love the design and the spaciousness of the interior in which you can actually stretch your legs. The fit and finish is excellent made with quality materials and theres no rattles or squeaks to be heard. Hyundai has greatly improved their product line and improving every year.

hot stuff - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
By billy55 - October 5 - 12:40 amI had the Hyundai sonata less then a month and love it!! I got the gls i4 with the popular option package, power seat, trip computer, auto lights, ect: I originally planned on getting an accord or Camry but the Hyundai dealer was right down the road from me and after test ride and pricing I grabbed it. The Camry or accord would of been a few thousand more. My only complaint is the air conditioner. We live in hot Florida and there were a few really hot humid days where the air just didnt seem to be good enough for me, but only around town,highway it is fine. My wife thinks its fine and said that I am just trying to find something wrong. great car! but bad resale value

Beautiful inside & out! - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
By seximobile - September 28 - 11:13 pmThe redesign is a lot more fluid and curvy than last years box. I test drove last years 08 sonata and it only had ok power. The upgrade on the new four-cylinder feels like there is more power off the line and highway passing. If I lived in hilly terrain, I would purchase the v6 but when I climb hills, I use the shiftronic and it goes just fine. Exterior is beautiful and Pearl White is stunning. Could go without steel wheels, but the covers have a Nice design. Interior is very Nice with high quality cloths and plastics. Good stereo.

My 2009 Limited Sonata V6 - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
By QuanG - September 17 - 2:40 pmWell, I have only had my Sonata 3 weeks. After trading in my 2002 Altima. I am very please with the design of the car in and out. I love the amenities. For the price I got my car for I could not pass it down. The car has a very soft ride which I had read about. But not too bad. Car engine seems much better in Shiftronic mode than in normal drive mode. Cant write much at the moment since the car is still pretty much brand new.
