  Confident Purchase - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By 09GLS - September 15 - 8:00 am

  Out of the blue decided to trade in my aging 1995 BMW 525i for the Sonata. While the 08 models sharp exterior styling initially caught my eye, the only 4 cylinder models in stock were 09s. The spacious updated interior truly feels classy and the fake manual mode lets you play a little. Acceleration is lacking and gear changes clunky, yet justified by your last refueling receipt. Great gauges and wood trim throughout. Upholstery is bland but practical. Although innovative, integrated USB/AUX ports suffer from compatibility issues (ie. iPhone support). Overall, best value for the money, if you can live with a goofy H on your grill.

  09 limited V6 - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By noelclark - September 4 - 3:56 pm

  Just ended a lease on an infiniti m35 and picked up the 09 limited v6 with nav. So far I have put 1800 miles on it including one 800 mi. Trip. I looked at the Camry, accord and altima but went with the sonata based on reviews and price. I was out the door for just over 23k and that was with every option. The sticker was over 30k. I am getting just under 30 mpg on the highway and low 20s in town. Considering my last infiniti was just over 50k loaded and I could have bought 2 of these with money left over its an amazing deal. Just like Hyundais advertisement says "think about it" I am glad I did.

  Stepping Up - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By Gwen D - August 27 - 9:20 am

  I am going from a Kia Sportage to the Sonata. Boy what a step up! I feel like I have died and gone to heaven in this car. I was also scared of buying another Korean auto but so far I have not been disappointed.

  Third Hyundai Owned Review - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By Jack - August 15 - 12:26 pm

  I purchased mt car on 31 Dec 2008 and it now has 7,200 miles on it. I have owned 3 Hyundais and have NEVER had one in the shop! My last was an 07 SE. This time I decided not to buy another chaepo model. I have installed a rear spoiler color matched and a K&N air filter since purchasing. When I drive the new 4 cylinder car, it was hard to believe it was a 4. The old 4 cylinder was a pure dog!

  Great Car So Far. - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By Holajn - August 8 - 3:33 am

  This has been a great car for my family. We have had to replace the radio twice already. It had several electronic glitches. The warranty covered it and will cover future repairs for the next ten years. The Sonata is additionally very efficient, it has plenty of horsepower which still managing to get 29 mpg on the highway.

  4 cyl surprise - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By Homer - August 3 - 9:10 pm

  I am flabbergasted at the smoothness and agility of the Sonata 4 cyl. It surpasses anything I ever expected. I have been driving a 3.8 V-6 with every conceivable option. This Sonata beats the pants off my old car even though I liked it a lot. Mileage is in the low 30s, pick up is surprisingly quick and quiet. The ride is great, albeit not quite as good as my XG350. It handles very well with a good feel on the road and in traffic. It has enough options to be comfortable and complete.

  Engine Light / Emissions / Gas - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By mgm - July 31 - 9:13 am

  This is my second Hyundai - I previously had the Elantra with over 100k miles - some minor issues brought the 2009 Sonata - been in shop 3xs in last 2 weeks - dealers states its EVP emissions - see no recall on net with other owners - at wits end with new car having issues

  Well see how it goes from here - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By Ozzie - July 15 - 5:06 am

  Bought it after reading a lot of reviews and test drives on Memorial weekend. I knew that many people are complaining about suspension noise and cracking noise from dashboard due to temperature fluctuation. But the price was unbeatable, I have option package 2 and I paid almost 6K less than Accord LX. I put only a few hundred miles, so far I no problems other than cracking noise coming from the dashboard when I turn on A/C.

  Great car, great value - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By JasonPorter - June 19 - 1:56 am

  Bought Dealership loaner car with 4.5K miles to be used as Daily Driver. I had my eye on a Sonata since they changed the body style, but never made the jump until the interior upgrade. Hyundai has come a *long* way in 10 years - major kudos! Fit and finish is first class for the price and the warranty is amazing - this is a company that actively sought to make a car to pounce on Toyota and Honda buyers and succeeded. V6 rated at only 249 HP, but if you think you need more in a FWD car...you probably shouldnt be looking for a FWD car! If someone told me in 2000 I would one day choose to buy a Hyundai, Id have laughed. Now though, Im glad I did - major props for an *excellent* product!
