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.

Another great Hyundai - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
By D Fuller - September 6 - 10:00 amThis is my 4th Hyundai, all great cars. The 09 has 45,000 miles now with absolutely no problems. The 4 cylinder engine has all the performance any normal driver could want. Gas mileage is excellent 44 mpg (imperial gallon) on highway trips. Very well equipped for such an inexpensive car. Move over Toyota!

A Real Nice Car - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
By ZRM - August 3 - 9:33 amTraded my 06 Sonato with a V6 in on this one with the 4cyl.Had not one problem with it. The V6 has more power but the 4cyl may surprise you with the pickup it has,plus the gas mileage is a plus. Majority of my driving is freeway and I abide by the speed limits so I get better than advertised mileage.My model has everything but navigation, excellent ride, infinity sound system is excellent,large trunk,wife loves the heated seats,I enjoy the dual climate control.Car is a pleasure to drive.Compare it to other cars with the same equipment you will be saving money and have a great warranty to go along with it. Our dealership has also made ownership a pleasure.

Awesome Ride - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
By Sonata Boy - July 30 - 6:20 pmI look at several brands (you name it) over the last 3 months, the one car I keep coming back to was the Sonata. I did not purchase because of the great price only; it has a lot of standard equipment and quality. Many talk about trade in value, I say remember Honda and Toyota not many wanted one of them in the beginning. You have to give up the ghost and admit this car is awesome to own, drive and be seen in. I have black with black leather and when I am driving I believe it feels like it cost me over 30 grand. Now the good news; averaging 33.8 mpg on the highway and loving it. If this car is not on your list rethink what you are doing before you buy anything.

Worth of Price - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
By Kumar - June 24 - 4:50 amIve had my 2009 Hyundai Sonata for about 2 months and I still love it! I was looking for a fuel- efficient, has comfort with good interior and in low budget. I had everything I realistically needed in a car...Best of all is that its MAINTENANCE-FREE(oil and air filter change only) in normal conditions for 60K miles.

Best BAng For your Buck!!! - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
By Thundercat - June 8 - 3:33 amI was going to buy an Accord or Camry when I decided to also test drive the 08 Sonata SE. As soon as I got it in, I knew it had something special.I couldnt find an 08 when I was ready to purchase it so I decided to get the 09 Limited V6 instead in Willow Gray(nice color!). It offers an excellent, comfortable, & quiet ride. 30 days and 1,015 miles later heres the scoop: Mileage is about 17-18 mpg/local and Im averaging 23-25/hwy.(Not bad considering its a 249 Horsepower/6 Cylinder). The ride is very smooth and responsive. The bottom line is this: Dont worry about its resale value, save your $, and go with it. At least test drive and consider it vs. its peers.

So far, so good! - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
By JohnG - June 3 - 4:36 pmWith just about 9000 miles, my Sonata is running with no problems. The fuel economy has been as expected (I usually average 28 mpg per tank). Although some say its a "Lexus-like" ride, Id say thats a bit of a stretch. The interior (especially the center console) looks great and the amount of standard features really won me over. The 4-cylinder engine does run a bit rough on cold days but usually is docile unless its really pushed. The transmission does tend to upshift quickly on the automatic (I believe in order to give better fuel economy). So far I dont hear any rattles in my car. I hope to keep the Sonata for a long time, especially because of the great warranty.

A sweet ride - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
By skylark - May 27 - 4:16 amI drove the the Camry and Accord when shopping--the Sonata has a much more comfortable ride. When pulling up to red lights next to Sonatas competitors, I find myself feeling sorry for them that they settled for less. The Sonata is really well thought out in terms of design. I couldnt be happier. Thank you Hyundai engineers and designers. My daughter bought one just six days after I bought mine--different color of course. She loves hers too.

Fantastic Value - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
By Piano Man - May 22 - 9:30 pmIm a 3 time Accord owner who switched because I saved $4,500 with the Sonata. What a value! Only sacrifice is in a bit of road feel handling - the Sonata is equal or better than the Accord in every other way. Ride is definitely smoother/quieter - a great highway car! Trip computer makes me a more efficient driver - 26 mpg city, 34-35 highway. Great safety features, including stability control, which was a requirement. Fit/finish, seating and interior space is wonderful, and all the standard equipment makes me feel like Ive bought a luxury car. XM radio is fantastic, nav system is terrific. Styling is generic but classy. I drove about 5 other cars, but after 3000 miles, no regrets!

Great for the price! - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
By Kelli - May 18 - 10:06 pmI have only owned my Sonata for 1 month, but love it so far! I have 2 teenage boys who need the leg room and Hyundai has done a great job in this car. I also love the fuel economy, since I traded in an Explorer which got 15mpg! Safety was another concern of mine since I will soon be letting my teenager learn to drive in this vehicle.
