Hyundai Sonata 2005 - Maybe One of the BEST cars ever made

Without a question my Hyundai Sonata 2005 has been terrific for all the years. Dependable, comfortable, stylish and up to meeting all my needs. With the number of other Hyundai Sonata 2005s on the road it is a testament that this vehicle was a 'job done' right for a lot of people. Just a terrific car!

My sonata

My Sonata has been the best car I have ever owned. Safe, reliable and stylish. Love the leather interior and the comfort of the seating. A quiet ride with good power and easy handling. The body design is classic and clean. The larger wheels afford ready rough road access when needed and the six cylinder provides ample power when required. It has been a very reliable car and has never left me on the side of the road. Service has been convenient and good quality.

Best Car i've Ever Had

I love my 2005 Sonata. I am the original owner and have had not one problem with it. It has never let me down. The ride is as smooth as if it was rolling on ice. I really like that about it. Crain Hyundai has done an excellent job taking care of it, and because of their maintenance, I plan on driving my Sonata for another 13 years. Besides, it's a beautiful car.

The Best Car Ever

My husband brought this car in January 2005 at a Hyundai dealer in Henderson, Nevada. At first I did care for it because I thought it was too big for me to drive. After I got use to it, it is the BEST car we have ever owned and we had a lot of cars. A lot of people will come up to use and ask us about the car and this just happened again yesterday. It rides grade and very, very little maintenance needed except for the usual, oil changes, tire rotation and windshield wipers replacement. It is a GOOD car.

Best and most reliable car I ever had

Has a very quiet interior compared to other type of vehicles with great gas mileage and best cost of ownership around. The exterior still shines like new and the cloth seats have not worn like other vehicles I have had.

2017 Sonata

Team Watermark Hyundai Rocks! (Thanks Nathan (sales)n, Ryne (service) & Melonie B (quick lane) and all the others to whom I've worked with but never caught a name. 99.9% of the time I am greeted with a smile or at least some since of Familia. I have never gone away from any appointment unsatisfied with performance - workmanship or service.... This is my 2nd Sonata and if this one is as good as the 1st it will be my 3rd

Very happy with my sonata

I bought my 2005 Sonata GLS new. A lot of friends were surprised at the overall quality of my Sonata, and it has held up well over many years and miles. The interior leather has held up amazingly well. The v6 engine is fast and powerful and fun to drive. The interior is roomy and comfortable and seats five comfortably. The traction control system helped out on the snowy roads though occasionally it would turn on when I didn't want it. The sound system sounds pretty good. I wish it had an aux input. The cupholders hidden in the back are nice and solid, and it's great to be able to fold down the back seats.

I LOVE THIS CAR!

I purchased this car new, and it drives as well as it did the day I drove it off the lot. It is still beautiful and I love it as much as the day I bought it. I am gifting it to my niece, and it is difficult to part with it, but I have a Genesis and need to downsize. I thought it was past it's prime, but regular maintenance and attention has kept it in tip-top shape. A wonderful car, a beautiful car, a dependable car!

Best car ever owned

Hope to get over 200,000 miles on it. So far so good with no problems. I would always buy a six cylinder if they are offered because of the smooth shifting and ride. The engine never seems that it's laboring because it's a six.

A best value import car

We purchased this car new in 2005, it now has 237,000 miles and has been the best car I’ve owned in past 40 years. It’s been relatively trouble free, regular maintenance and some minor repairs and it’s still a joy to drive.

The best car I've ever owned

We made the correct choice in 2005 when we bought my little Sonata. It's been a great car through the years and is going strong. Regular oil changes and maintenance has made the difference in its performance.

Sonata for thirteen good years

We worked in South Korea and upon returning home purchased a new 2005 Sonata as it was so well received in Seoul. My wife fell in love with her! car and love to drive it, especially around town. We had little repair costs for over 100,000 miles which seems extraordinary. After a wash, it always looked new! Congratulations to the Hyundai folks for producing a great reliable car.

This has been the best car I’ve owned in 40 years.

I bought this car new and it has almost 240 thousand miles, with normal maintenance and some repair it keeps on running very well. I’ve taken long trips and it’s been very comfortable and it’s always been a smooth ride.

Beautiful reliability

I am still in love with my 2005 Sonata after 14 years! One of the best decisions I have ever made. It still rides like a dream and Hyundai always does exceptional body styling. It's a gorgeous vehicle that just keeps going. I don't see myself owning any car other than Hyundai.

2005 Sonata

Since I bought this car, I feel it was one of my best purchases. Having kept it serviced, with few very minor issues, it is still running great. It is the most comfortable and smooth riding vehicle, no complaints, and minimal blind spots. I have to say I enjoy this car better than my newer ones, and will keep her as long as I can.p
