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.

sure not sorry - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
By sure not sorry - June 7 - 3:56 pmVery pleased for the first 1,000 miles.Went on two 400 mile trips and by on board comp. avg 35.1 mpg and 35.5 for second.50/50 freeway/city. Hard to believe but welcomed.Very quiet and smooth ride. All passengers commented on how comfortable the seating was.The 175hp 4 cyl engine has all the power most anyone would ever need.Ive had more expensive cars but I really dont think they did any better than this Sonata.

Navigation system - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
By watsowil000 - June 5 - 9:26 pmWhen we picked up the car the navigation was not hooked up correctly and the dealer "fixed" it for us, but it took three days (signs of bad things to come). Less than a month later we took it to North Carolina and the nav system went out again. Dealer there was helpful and put in a new one for us. 8 months later it is not working again. It si a great car, but I would not spend the extra for the nav system-they are not real helpful in getting it fixed and even when calling the help line they are not good at letting us know what is being done to remedy the problems.

Still loving it after 9 months... - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
By KimN - June 1 - 2:36 amI bought my Sonata in Sept. 2008, so it has been over 9 months now and I am still loving my car. I love the redesigned interior. It feels luxurious and elegant and not at all cheap. All the buttons are in easy reach, and the dash emits a nice blue glow at night. I have had lots of compliments on the smooth ride and comfortable seats. The trunk is spacious. The ride is smooth and handles very well. I got so much car for the price (leather, heated seats, sunroof, XM).

Great car for the price - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
By Al - May 15 - 1:16 pmHandles great on interstate as well as secondary roads. Good acceleration even with the 2.4 (4 cyl). Love the body styling, first foreign car I have purchased. It will not be the last.

Pretty good overall - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
By Joe from Chicago - May 8 - 6:43 pmOverall its a very nice car. The interior feel is very upscale. My wife is not thrilled with backseat storage and there are only 4 cupholders, 2 in the back seat arm rest, but other than that it is a very nice car. Only 1100 miles so far. The mileage is a little lower than stated, but I do a lot of short hop type of driving, so I can understand that. Also, weather has been cold/chilly which also affects it and I probably havent gotten past the break-in period. Other than that, I love it. XM 3 month trial is very nice. The sound system and radio are awesome. You have to buy a $30 cable for the IPOD to work correctly, but its awesome. Ride could be a little smoother, but overall is good.

Serene Machine - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
By tucsoncharley - April 17 - 11:23 pmReluctantly traded my 2003 Corolla for missing safety features needed for crosstown commute to a new job. Imagine getting four wheel antilock disc brakes,traction control,stability control,six air bags,active head restraints,Michelin tires,"big car" feel and ride for under $12,000 with trade. City mpg steady at 27 and getting 38 to 40 on Arizona interstates with light foot(under 75 mph). What was the last car you owned when you smiled each time you got behind the wheel? I could not be happier with my Sonatas value, quality, and comfort.

I Wish I Never Bought the Car - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
By Clara - April 14 - 1:53 pmI purchased a 2009 Sonata Limited its looks great. But that is all. I have made 6 payments and it has been towed 4 times. The first 3 times because it didnt start. The last time transmission problems. Run from this car spend a little more and get a better car. Stick with the bigger boys. Theres a reason why they give you a 10 year warranty not because its a great car because you are always taking it to the service shop. Be careful with your money....Run

Very reliable - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
By Sandy1123 - March 27 - 9:56 amIve been driving the Sonata for a couple of years now and I cant stop harping on its astounding ride quality and handling. The plush interiors and space are also great. My only quarrel with the car is the rather low mileage.
