Great Gas Milage

The car overall is great, but some times the engine doesn't always respond when pressing the gas petal.

Not a bad 3 year hybrid from Hyundai but given it back to Hyundai at lease end

Leased this car in 2013 based on getting a great deal on a leftover. Mileage is okay in warm weather as I received combined 43 mpg. Cold weather with heater and seats on I get low 30's mpg which is not much different than regular Sonata. Car is quiet on highways, seats not that comfortable on long drives. Cargo capacity in the trunk is not that great due to battery compartment taking up a lot of room. In the winter, snow tires are highly recommended. Eco efficient tires are designed for fuel economy and not deep snow. The only problem I had with the car was the refrigerant with the A/C unit somehow escaped and wasn't covered in the warranty but no leaks were detected. Other than that, it's been very reliable. Anyway, car is going back to Hyundai at lease end and I will look at 2017 Sonata hybrid or 2017 Ioniq. Overall, if your in the market for a used fuel efficient car this isn't a bad choice.

Not Worth the Cost

Has not lived up to advertised gas mileage. In fact after 30,000 miles gas mileage dropped below 30 mpg on the Highway. Dealership could not add any reason. I recently had the Spark plugs changed at 62,000 miles. Resulted in better MPG (32-33) but no where near what was advertised (38-40).

It doesn't have the weight and feels tinny. I usually drive it around town and on the freeway to close appointments.

Since the trouble with the batteries, I do not feel safe. I worry I will get stuck somewhere and have to call towing or service to come and get the car.

issue with Trnasmission

In three years less then 50 K mile transmission went out. Glad that I had warranty working and also purchased Extended warranty. I would not by Hyundai any more. I spend $34K to purchase this car. Could have purchase another car instead of Hyundai. Front Passenger seat is really low. It is not adjustable . Seems like you are seating in the whole

Love the color lots!

I don't think I should write the truth here. The dealership is well aware of my auto's issues.

Transmission slippage

The vehicle has 54,000 miles on it. Sometimes when accelating, the engine races wirhout the car increasing speed for a couple of seconds, then the car goes back to normal operation.

Beautiful car but too many electronic problems

My Hyundai Sonata Hybrid is a beautiful car but I've had several bad experiences with its electronics . Several trips to the dealership for badly diagnosed electronic hybrid related problems. It took 4 different trips to the dealer for them to finally fix a battery problem that left me stranded 3 times. The most recent problem was my transmission. My transmission broke after 67,000 miles . Very scary and dangerous experience when my transmission failed on the tollway in the fast lane at 75mph with other drivers behind me. I got the car towed to the dealer and they diagnosed it as a transmission problem with the electronics being completely fried. The service rep was great with me and got me in a courtesy vehicle but it took them the better part of 2 weeks to get a new transmission in and installed. I just don't have the same confidence driving it anymore as I have with previous cars that I have had. I still have my previous car as a backup A honda accord with 260,000 miles with the original transmission and original engine. Looking at trading in my Hyundai Sonata Hybrid as soon as I have the time. It's really too bad because I actually really like the car . Its a gorgeous car inside and out but these hybrid electronic problems are unacceptable.

Car over all review

Hyundai, over all performance is good. Issue is transmission. Within less then 50K miles we have to replace transmission. Good thing it was under warranty. I tool car few days a go for recall service. Technician performed 89 point inspection Found out engine oil is licking that is also covered under warranty. There are issues with this car but over all it runs great

Great on gas but the overall driving performance could be better

I've only had this car for under 4 years and had to have the transmission and axle replaced. I was told by the Hyundai manager that 4 other vehicles had to be brought back for the same problem. He said the Hybrid system is a drain on the transmission causing it to malfunction/break down. I don't know if that is a problem with all hybrid vehicles, all Hyundai hybrids or just all Autonation Hyundai hybrids but I'm not as comfortable with my car anymore.
