  Incredibly worry-free - 2004 Hyundai Sonata
  By NoWorriesSonata - January 10 - 11:07 am

  I travel a lot of miles in the city and on the highway between Denver, Albuquerque, and Flagstaff. This vehicle has been completely flawless. I follow all manufacturers recommended maintenance intervals: oil changes, drive belt, timing belt, spark plugs, etc. I will probably never sell this car as I am sure it will give me at least 250,000 good miles before any major repair is needed. Take good care of your Hyundai and it will take better care of you!

  By Sonata GLS V6 - December 16 - 10:40 pm

  Car seems to be above average, but service dept. stinks. Engine warning light problems, ABS noise, and transmission concerns. Not sure if hyundai will be my next car. Jury still out.

  This is my 1st Car Ever - 2004 Hyundai Sonata
  By Tony1stCar - December 8 - 12:41 pm

  This car is really great. it is a very stylish car and many people think that i am driving a Jaguar. This car is very well built. It can fit 5 people very comfortably. The trunk space is very large which is a good to always have. But my antenna broke. Due to the motor burn out. So now i can get the AM stations. I am curious about how it will drive in the snow because it has no traction control nor ABS.

  GREAT CAR, except breaks - 2004 Hyundai Sonata
  By Dave NY - November 30 - 11:49 am

  My first brand new car purchase. I have loved the car for 5.5 years, longest I have owned a car by 200%. Only prob has been breaks...needed new rotors all around after 20k. Needed more work another 15k into it. Tires replaced at about 35k. I dont drive the car aggressively. Everything else was amazing. Trading it in, got $5k for it. Not bad, I paid $14,600 with sunroof 5.5 years ago.

  Great Vehicle - 2004 Hyundai Sonata
  By Muppet - October 4 - 7:54 pm

  Purchased this car used with 70000 miles on it. This car looks and drives great with the V6. Fuel economy is very good. AC is good. Reliabilty is superb. I put 1100 miles a week on it and have had no problems. In the passed 60K I have replaced two sets of tires, timing belt, spark plugs, headlight bulb, oil and tranny fluids. I am so impressed with this Hyundai and still like its ability...

  More value for the money than Honda and Toyota for thousands less.

  Wonderful Car - Excellent Value - 2004 Hyundai Sonata
  By llerrub13 - September 25 - 4:46 pm

  This has been a wonderful vehicle. I purchased it new and it has performed superbly. It still looks good and performs well. All of the maintenance has been performed by the dealership. Had to replace headlights and stereo has had a couple of minor glitches. The fuel economy has been a little substandard but now for the good stuff. Ride is comfortable and sporty LX model has all of the bells and whistles including the sunroof leather seats and power antenna are very nice. I would highly recommend Hyundai to anyone (wife has purchased a Santa Fe and daughter has bought an Elantra). I see why Time magazine has named Hyundai as the 2009 "Car Manufacturer of the Year".

  Love at first sight - 2004 Hyundai Sonata
  By RDSC - August 29 - 2:00 am

  I went to our one week old Hyundai dealer to buy an Elantra for my wife and ended up trading off my Lexus ES- 300 for a loaded Sonata! There it was just begging me to take it home; I couldnt resist. It is not as sporty nor as powerful as the Lexus but I am not 20 anymore so those things are not as important. This car just looks and feels right. Except my wife didnt win.

  Nice, but repair needed after two weeks - 2004 Hyundai Sonata
  By psh - August 18 - 10:00 am

  I love the appearance of the Sonata. It looks very elegant, like the German luxury sedans. I bought the LX model with ABS and traction control and drove it happily for two weeks until the power steering started making terrible noises. I took it in and it turns out that the rack and pinion was leaking and needs to be replaced. Not only that, but the part has to be back-ordered from Korea because there are 17 people ahead of me who need the same part. Basically, two weeks into owning a new car, and it is sitting at the service department for 10 days+ while they back-order a new rack and pinion.
