Good car when it works

I am pleased with my Hyundai, the regular service experiences are good. I will likely never buy another Hyundai! When I bought the car the Navigation system did not work. It took me over a year and multiple visits where I waited for a total of 20+ hours and no one wantefd to fix it. They kept telling me it was OK. Finally after many attempts to fix the system was replaced and works fine. My frustrations would have been easier to deal with if you simply provided a loaner car so I did not have to wait around the show room or find a ride to get out. This was a defective part on a new car and there was a total lack of concern for your customer.

Sonata hybrid OK but not great

The mileage is good but the inconvenience of no spare tire is not acceptable. Every time you have a flat tire, you have to purchase a sealant canister for $50. Hyundai gouges you for the canister. I went to KIA and purchased it for $15 less than Hyundai quoted.

2016 Sonata Hybird

I like the Sonata Hybird because of the mileage but I found out after time that it does go down some the interior could be better and I see know that it has been upgraded on things I would like to have now but would not buy a new Sonata just for the few upgrades and Idon't like the way it lost so much vale over the couple of years I've owned it

Service dept isn’t a positive

How can I give a positive review with doubt as to what the end result is going to be? I feel that all I say or write goes out the door after I leave. I am now looking for a car to buy for another replacement, but not looking at Hyundai

My luck getting the one Sonata with the rare issue

I don't know why, but I am having this issue where my car is currently getting mid 30s mpg on the highway when it usually gets around 44. My local hyundai replaced a bunch of parts, but I am still having poor mpg for my hybrid. It's been difficult researching my problem because few people experience this. My car is only slightly over 2 years old too. Goodness, it was so promising and I wanted to keep this car for a long time.

Good car but had piles of little things that appear

Although the car is dependable, things like the suspension creaks and makes noises, The steering makes a weird grinding noise while turning, especially when cold Tires worn out at 35,000 primarily due to poor service of car. Service just wanted me to go away and was not willing to listen, the service managers typical response was "I can't remember". The safety features that I paid for, do not work as stated.

Hyundai has no respect for their customers

I love the car now, but it took two years and many wasted hours to get a factory defect corrected. The car drives well. the safety features are great, the milage is excellent for a realativly large sedan.

Base Hybrid need upgrades

Base Sonata Hybrid are nice vehicles. But they need major upgrades in the braking system and audio that the vehicle is equipped with. Braking is major with stopping distance that can exceed 50 feet on good road and weather conditions.

Good vehicle

would give it 5 stars, but it is not a smooth operating vehicle.the 2011 snd 2013 were much smoother.It's also too hard to get in and out of for older people. Don't like SUV's but a sedan doesn't work for older people.Too low.

A great idea - without any backup

Great ride On highway-cruise control on sunroof open- great satellite stereo balanced- car moves with no sound like a cat eating up the miles- map screen showing you where u are-going to-been Seats adjust to weather, size and comfort BUT Trunk space sucks No room for a family of 3 Barely enough for two

Looks good! But it isn't that good.

This car is beautiful and it rides smooth and makes very little noise when running. But the engine is not responsive all the time and usually not when you need it. I was recently asked if I liked my car. I said yes, but not enough to suggest you buy one. There is also a problem with the driver side window that sometimes doesn't go up all the way. Oh, my car was a dealer show vehicle before I got it. I think it was still considered new tho.

Very disappointing

I loved this car at first. Its super quite, ride is super smooth and I got about 500 miles per tank of gas if not more (I literally only filled up twice a month). After a while I started having a lot of issues. The check engine light goes on and off. When it comes on the car shakes and i can’t accelerate until it turns off. Dealer says they cant fix it unless the light stays on. The transmission went out after maybe 30,000 miles? Maybe a little later but it just randomly happened very early in to me getting the vehicle. My coolant system has a leak. I had it repaired only to find out my car is still leaking fluid and has to be looked at again to see what it is they missed the first time. My blinkers don’t work correctly, they turn on in the opposite direction I turn them. I Always did the scheduled maintenance like I was supposed to. I recently sold it with 76,000 miles on it because it was just to much of a hassle. There are also quite a few recalls that I've had to bring it in to be checked for.

Nice roomy car that's easy on the gas!

The only thing i see so far is the cruize and economy mode does not work good together. While driving on slightly hilly areas it could be dangerous on slick pavement. Set at 55 mph it will drop the speed to approx. 40mph downhill and then we go into full throttle (as in flooring the electric and gas) going uphill we then overshoot into the 60's before slowing down again. We have to switch modes every time manually to prevent this issue!

Bought September 2015

I really love my car and it was a huge upgrade. I'm extremely dissatisfied in the company promising features that it has gone back on and changed the dates multiple times, as well as having to have press releases over not providing Android Auto after it was originally promised on their website, on verified reviews, on the brochure I was given, etc. The lights and automatic trunk are awesome, I really like the features that WERE on the car that I paid for. Very well built and gas mileage is great, and it definitely feels expensive. Would give the car all 10s if they didn't falsely advertise, I drive over 1,000 miles a week due to my job and android auto was likely the #1-2 feature I was looking forward to, as it would help my safety in my drive to be able to use google maps and not have to hold my phone in my hand. The cars navigation system is okay but the traffic is completely off a majority of the time, not nearly comparable to google maps. I reccomend the car, but not for the system.

Small screen, but the car packs a lot of value for the price

At least for the Hybrid SE and Limited trim levels the small 5" screen compared to the other versions of the car from the regular, Eco and hybrid limited w/navi. All those other ones have a bigger 7" or 8" screen. This was my only comment about this car. Other than that I have no cons for this car. This vehicle has a lot of features that adds to the value for the price you can get this car for. I would highly recommend this car.

2016 SONATA HYBRID LIMITED

Generally satisfied with the vehicle, however, the car was supplied without the Apple CarPlay feature that Hyundai claims is supplied with the 2016 cars.
