Sonora Hybrid

Love the car BUT it spent 23 of the first 45 days of ownership in the shop for computer issues surrounding the airbag system.. It appears fixed at this point.

Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Plug in

Excellent ride and electric mileage. Minor quirks in navigation, CD and continued lack of Apple Carplay availability.

Roomy

It's a beautiful car. My favorite feature, it's roomy. Plenty of leg room. I bought the ultimate package which after a month I felt like I really don't need all of the bells and whistles. I still feel the same way a few months later. The hybrid? I am all about fuel efficient. That was the one and only reason I chose it. But quickly missed my 2006 Hyundai Elantra Limited. It got 40 mpg freeway. This hybrid gets only 3 to 5 miles more. It's sad that the new Elantra lacks the space of my old one and even sadder that the roomy Sonata Hybrid gets on a couple more miles to the gallon and I paid a ton more for it. $17,000 more.

Comfortable and Economical Travel

I went in to car buying seeking to buy a Hybrid Avalon for my work commute and highway travel. The Sonata was comparable in size and economy for significantly less - and a better safety rating. It has not let let me down in6 months of ownership. Awesome car.

Great car but...

Live my car minus a few things. Very unhappy that Hyundai does not give this particular model Android Auto/Apple CarPlay update nor the newly released Amazon Echo/Alexa capability! This is a $30k nearly and it's sad that this car continuously gets overlooked. Still has a touch screen and USB input.

Title was delivered after the temporary tag expiration

Temporary tag was effective for 45 days. Title wan't available to me until days after the expiration of the temp tag. Lost use of the car during the time. Dealership too an "I don't care attitude". Didn't even say they were sorry for the inconvenience.

Sonata Hybrid

The 2016 Sonata Hybrid (Limited) is a comfortable and stylish car. It offers good value for the price. Only disadvantage is vehicle mileage in city driving does not meet advertised EPA data. Highway mileage is within an acceptable margin of EPA data.

Hyundai Sonata Hybrid

The overall styling and comfort of this car is excellent. The gas mileage for a hybrid is disappointing.

Sonata Plugin Hybrid Limited

I previously owned a 2008 Camry Hybrid, and I was considering a 2016 Camry Hybrid. I have owned Toyota products for the past 16 years or so. The Sonata plugin hybrid limited has similar features, but there are differences in the 2016 Camry hybrid and 2016 Sonata plugin hybrid limited: The Sonata will go at freeway speeds on the battery only, but the Camry goes into hybrid mode at 40 MPH; the Sonata has a battery range of 27 miles, and the Camry will only go about 1 to 2 miles on the battery alone; the Camry seems to have better pickup in Hybrid mode and the Camry has better mileage in the Hybrid mode; the Sonata is a plugin, which gives me a $4917 tax credit (this was the difference in cost between the two vehicles and the ultimate reason I purchased the Sonata over the Camry); the Camry has an automatic stop feature to avoid an accident whereas the Sonata has a warning only (the other safety features are similar); the Sonata has heated and cooled seats, the Camry has a moon roof; I like the larger screen in the Sonata and the fact that there are multiple buttons (on and off the screen) to select each electronic feature; the transition on braking from the energy absorbing brake to the disc brake is not smooth in the Sonata like it is in the Camry; the continuously variable transmission in the Camry is smoother than the 6 speed transmission in the Sonata (the Sonata transmission does not shift as smoothly as I would like); the Sonata has more hip room in the front seats than the Camry because the center storage bin is a little narrower (overall the Sonata is slightly larger on the inside); trunk space is about the same on both cars (you can get a large suitcase in the trunk and two carry-on suitcases on top of the large suitcase); I like the black exterior and grey interior on the Sonata better than the Camry color options; I like the plugin feature on the Sonata because my office building has Type 2 chargers that I can use without cost; the Sonata gas engine is noisier than the Camry, especially on a cold winter morning; the Sonata headlights light the road well; the Sonata horn sounds tinny and you need to hit the center of the steering wheel hard to honk the horn; the Sonata uses semi-synthetic oil, which extends the oil change cycle to 7500 miles vs. 5000 miles for the Camry (the difference in cost for the semi-synthetic oil change vs. regular oil is less than $2 total); the Sonata has a significantly longer warranty period. I am sure that there are other differences, but this is what I could remember at the moment. The Sonata plugin hybrid is only available on East Coast and West Coast, unless someone orders one or has one driven into an interior state by a dealer.

Sonata Hybrid

The Sonata Hybrid approaches what customers want in a (relatively) inexpensive mode of family transportation. Yes, some tweaks would make the vehicle more attractive to customers, but the same can be said for any vehicle currently on the market.

Best car ever

We love our Huyndaii. The gas mileage is awesome. The interior is of a better quality than the 2009 that we own. We do expect this one to last a good while if it is anything like the 09. Overall, we are a true Huyndaii family!n

great vehicle

All systems work great. If I engineered this vehicle I would have incorporated a modular system that anticipated future upgrades. My vehicle would have to have the infotainment system replaced to get on board wifi, nav, etc. The noise when changing from battery to gas engine is very noticeable. Other than those two engineered items the vehicle. The exterior SeaMist clor garners complements everytime I step out of the vehicle. One day while sitting in a local grocery store a policeman pulled up behind me and walked up to the drivers side and commented "I really like the color of your vehicle. May I ask the color?"
