Best car I have ever owned.

I bought my first Hyundai in 2004... a Santa Fe. Since then, I have bought a Tucson and the Sonata Limited Hybrid. All three are still on the road. I have loved all three, but my favorite is the Sonata. I had qualms about buying a hybrid because of the high cost of replacing the battery. But, when I found that Hyundai guaranteed the battery for as long as I owned the car, I went right out and bought one. It's a great looking car, economical and comfortable. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another, but the way this one is performing, it might be quite some time before I need to.

My Sonata

I had a 2007 Sonata before this one and I really liked it, however, my hybrid is just great. Really like the mileage and the quick starts from the electric boost on the engine. My only complaint would be the variation in mileage due to the weather both cold and hot and windy.

2013 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid.

I purchased this vehicle new and have had no issues. It has all the options and they have performed flawlessly. I have only had the dealership work on this car. No one has ever serviced this vehicle but Suntrup Hyundai.

No issue since I bought it!

Physical attribute of this vehicle is superb that it wont get out of style. While it's not the best MPG in it's class, I still consider it very efficient. I wish ther's a dim control on the control station as it sometimes too glaring for me at night.

I have been very lucky with my Sonata Hybrid, wonderful car! I really have had no issues with this vehicle. The front end is lower to where I hit things with front end when parking. Gas mileage is low.....Overall a great vehicle!

2013 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid BEST vehicle ever.

I am 73 years old and have purchased 12 brand new vehicles from Ford, Chrysler, and GM plus one Japanese automaker along with 4 used vehicles. It is sad to say, but all were full of problems some right from day 1. The dealerships were as much to blame as the manufacturers. My wife and I were left stranded more than 1500 miles from home for 4 days with one American car that was less than one year old. That cost us 4 days for room and meals plus tires and loss of our vacation days. My 2013 Sonata Hybrid has had zero problems, only 3 minor recalls, and it has been a pleasure to have Hyundai service the car. It is almost like a good family reunion at Kolar Hyundai. I have 75,000 miles on the car and everything from the drive train, the body, and every thing that makes a car a car has been fantastic. No problems, no worries from neither Kolar Hyundai or Hyundai of America. Now. if Hyundai will finally produce their much anticipated Santa Fe Hybrid, that will be my next vehicle.

2013 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid

My family and friends thought I had lost my mind when I traded a brand new 2013 BMW for my Sonata Hybrid. But the truth was that I had been shopping for the best hybrid vehicle for weeks and had visited practically every brand that made hybrids. When the Sonata Hybrid won my comparison, I was sold on that car. With an engine so quiet that one could only tell that it was running by checking the dashboard to see that "Ready" was illuminated was the most impressive feature! Therefore, when I won the BMW and saw that the Sonata beat it with gas mileage 40 vs19mpg, full-size roominess compared to the squished feeling in the BMW, using regular gas compared to using super, and the thought of looking forward to $2,000 tune-ups on the BMW vs the 10 year/100,000 mile warranty of the Sonata (that covered the hybrid battery, which the other brands did not), making that decision was a no-brainer. The Sonata has served me well and, while I now want some of the new features of the later models, that is the ONLY reason I would ever consider trading. I've looked at the newer Sonatas but I feel that the 2013 body style is the best of any brand of automobile! I LOVE MY SONATA HYBRID!!!!

One of the Finest if not THEE Finest car I've owned.

Owned Cadillacs, Lincolns (Town Cars), Chevrolets, Toyotas, but for the money there is no better car on the market. It performs well, handles very well, LIKES to cruise easily at and above highest speed limits and still delivers good mileage. Body finish and integrity is very good. I keep it polished and clean all year 'round, inside and out. Sound system is great. Rims are really superb. They look like a space ship landing gear and the "cockpit" feels like you are in a space ship. LOVE the car. Very minor issue is components (plastic-fitted-pieces) on steering wheel are not of the quality and caliber I would expect. Fine car all the way around, front to back, under the hood to the trunk. Comfortable and fun to drive and it is six years old now!

Hybrid rating

The transition time between electric and gas engine is getting incrementally longer, electric engine isn't strong enough to get you out of trouble as you pull into traffic. Since new my hybrid battery has never been full, it usually is in the 50% range. My 09 Sonata had real carpet however my 13 hybrid has what I call felt, really cheap. My 09 was made in made in U.S. the 13 was made in S. Korea, I don't know if this makes a difference. The gas mileage is very poor for a hybrid, I have owned other straight gas 4cyl that got better mileage.

Luxury without the big brand name.

Who would have taught that this car would be some amazing. The design and look is incredible. I’m a guy that loves designs/appearance of a car. I never imagine myself driving a hybrid better yet a Hyundai. Nothing against the make just never thought about it. I test drove the car and fell in love with it. The handling is incredible and responsive. It’s sleek body makes it easy to control during windy or stormy days. The car sticks to the ground well that when takin curves, you don’t feel like the car is loosing its grip. The interior is very clean but yet looks luxurious. From the navigation dash and controls to the back rear seat heating system. The sound is incredible (infinity) and i rarely put it past level 4 with windows closed and 8 windows down. The sound control system is very user friendly. The navigation isn’t as friendly and it does take sometime to get used to using it but within a month I think I had it down path. Seats are comfortable. I travel a lot and not always i take my car but I had a few times and I love it. It is super comfortable and I like the fact that it keeps the outside noise well balanced. If you go through a gravel or poorly paved road then yes there’s heavy noise of traveling at 50+ but not on the highway. The hybrid system is just beyond measure. I had a hybrid ford and Toyota that I drove for several weeks for work and I can tell you this, the mileage does not compare, neither does the road noise. After a few months of fill up and driving on the highway, my hybrid was pushing 513 miles between fill ups. The most I got out of the other two was 422. The ford was the worst about road noise followed by the Toyota. I had always increase the volume of music or calls just so I could hear it. I looked into all of them and you can adjust the settings on all of them but it always caused me issues, not the Hyundai. All in all, I couldn’t be happier about my purchase. I am already considering getting me a newer model because of how awesome this car is. I’ll add that I haven’t had any mechanical issues or concerns. I take care of the car by giving it maintenance regularly and putting premium gas and always checking mechanicals just as a preventative measure.

Love our Hyundais!

My previous car was a Genesis Coupe, and I loved that little sports car - six-speed turbo (wow!), light blue, and I dressed it up with tan leather seats - because of it's performance and handling which I literally feel saved lives or at least a serious accident more than once. However, it was just too small too often, so I up-sized and got a great deal on this end-of-model-year hybrid and trade ins. But I thought I was giving up some of what I enjoyed. Truly, though, the only characteristics I miss now is the size and manual transmission. Handling is solid and tight, ride is as nice as cars twice it's price, performance is more than adequate, the interior is plush and well-designed, and, when I see others driving it, I believe it has a sporty, somewhat timeless style. And (oh, yeah), the economy... IT MAKES GAS!!! We take it on long and short trips rather than our Genesis sedan, which we also love, because of it's near 40 mpg vs 21-23 with the standard, non-hybrid.

Excellent vehicle, but needs work on drivability.

The car is beautiful inside and outside, and gets outstanding gas mileage (40+ mpg). Is very quiet and, comfortable, especially on long drives. The only complaints I have are that initial acceleration is lacking, and the 6-speed transmission tends not to be a smooth when shifting as I would like. There's also a problem with the sound system. I usually play playlists from my phone, but whenever I shut the car off and turn it back on, the sound system reverse to FM radio. This requires turning the volume down, and resetting the media to Bluetooth. Not a big problem, but my Ford leaves the default at whatever I was using last. Hyundai should fix this. Finally, the navigation system not only costs $100 a year, but updates cost $169 each. This is excessive when I can get Google Maps updates whenever they're needed for free.

Best Car I Have Owned

I bought a 2013 Sonata Hybrid and did not know what to expect. I average 40mpg for a tank of gas. At this time with 75,000 no warranty work has been needed. The car drives great and sits my 6'4" twin boys in the back seat comfortably. This car is a good compromise for price, size, mpg, and quality. You cannot go wrong picking this as your car to own.

2013 Sonata Hybrid

I have over 90,000 miles on this car and have no issues with it. I am very pleased with the performance; especially the gas mileage. I can literally drive from Steele Creek to Akron, OH on one tank of gas! When I'm ready for a new car, it will definitely be another Sonata hybrid.

My wife and I have really enjoyed having our 2013 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid, very nice car. The gas millage is fairly decent. I can assure you we will like it more when it's paid off! The only things I would have had different are having the passenger seat be electric, my wife sits way to low on the seat, second, I would have had remote start put in it, that would have made winter days better. For the most of it, the car is OK!
