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

2005 Hyundai Sonata

This is a super vehicle and though it is getting older, I am extremely reluctant to sell it and buy something I might like less visually and in terms of the way it handles on the road. The newer models do not seem to have such a feeling of spaciousness and expansive view of the road.

2005 Hyundai Sonata Service

My aging 2005 Hyundai is still giving me good service. If you take care of your car today's car can give you good service. If the time comes to replace the car it will be a Hyundai that I would buy again.

Perfect car for us

We have been so pleased with this car for 15 years. Never any problems and only requiring normal routine scheduled service. We would love to buy a new one, just for the advanced technology, but really don’t need to because this car fulfills her needs.

Excellent

This is the best vehicle I have ever owned. I have been driving this car for 14 years and it stil runs like new. It's an older vehicle; however, I have purchased new vehicles in the past and they didn't compare to this car.

2005 Hyundai Sonata GLS

The same identical design should be offered for 2020 - in addition to other designs. The comfort, styling, and performance are ageless, and can match anything out there today in the same category. Whether called "Sonata" or something else, there is a place for this vehicle today!
