hyundai - 1998 Hyundai Sonata
By kk92 - May 1 - 2:00 amok so i bought this car used from the credit union and 2 days later the power windows went out. the rotors need to be turned every 3 months whether the brakes are brand new or not. when the power windows mess up the locks mess up and so on. when you lock one door while its running the drivers side window goes down. it has been ok while driving on the highway but when you need a part you have to get them from the dealer like the power windows is dealer only and the transmission fluid is dealer only due to its being a hyundai

OK - 1998 Hyundai Sonata
By gregjstewart - January 25 - 2:00 amNo major problems. Does not let you know youve left your lights on. This can be a problem with weak battery that comes with car. Tires weak on takeoff on wet surfaces.

98 Sonata Reliability for less - 1998 Hyundai Sonata
By vincent1234 - June 27 - 2:00 amGreat experience - no mechanical or transmission problems ever- just oil changes. For the price like driving an accord for half the cost

love this car - 1998 Hyundai Sonata
By pepperdevil - June 17 - 2:00 amThis car feels big and expensive. I bought it used and spent about 1/2 of what I would have for a new version of a competing car (Accord, Altima, etc.). I have spent the past few years driving from Phoenix to LA and back and this car has taken it like a champ - very comfortable and safe-feeling car. The only problems I have had are the motors on the power windows going bad, the power door locks lock themselves when the weather gets warm (???) and for the life of us, we cant get the brakes to stop sqealing. All bearable to have a car I can rely on and that fits me like a glove.

It Keeps On Surprising Me - 1998 Hyundai Sonata
By alliknow4 - March 21 - 2:00 amOne day some friends of of mind gave ride in this car they had rented, it was 98 Hyundai Sonata I new nothing about them, but I remember getting out of it after they had dropped me off, thinking damn that car really feels good, it good to, it was Mid Night Blue with leather seat V6 in order word Heaven. I now own that same car, I bought it from the rental company that owned it, its been over a year and as I said it just keeps on getting better. I hear the critics say it cheap, unreliable, and all of that well I dont know what they are talk about...I feel like king in such a beatiful car. Driving really is Believing!

Not a good car to buy, get the V6! - 1998 Hyundai Sonata
By markman69 - January 24 - 2:00 amWhat ever you do, get the V6 if you are considering buying a used Sonata. The 4-cylinder model lacks in pickup, accelleration, and keeping a constant speed. The Transmission is taxed heavily because of the undersized engine. The car is much too heavy to have a 4 knocker under the hood, it needs at least a 6, maybe even an 8!

would not recommend - 1998 Hyundai Sonata
By alina - December 9 - 2:00 amIve had a Sonata for two years and it was only two years old when I bought it. Ive had more problems and put more money into fixing it than I ever should have.

UC Purchase - 1998 Hyundai Sonata
By aliasname - July 14 - 2:00 amThe exterior ressembles many larger, nicer vehicles, that cost more money. That means affordible style to me.
