Love my Sonata

Drives great, is reliable. Gets great gas mileage. I wish it wasn’t so low to the ground. The front bumper sometimes scraps the curb in pull in parking. You have to be very careful. The passenger seat cannot raise up. Feels like am sitting way too low when I’m not driving.

A beautiful, fun car to drive

I bought my Sonata on the recommendation of a friend and I have never been so grateful. Although the car is now over 10 years old it still gets excellent mileage- 30 miles around town and 34+ on the highway. The car is comfortable with plenty of room in the backseat for passengers. I use the car like a truck because the back seats fold down to make a large cargo carrying area. I drive the car like a sports car because it is very zippy and one of the most stylish cars I have driven. I'm sorry they redesigned the car as she's a beauty as is. My only regret was that the car couldn't pull my utility trailer so I will be replacing her with a Hyundai SUV.

My Hyundai Sonata Hybrid

Without a doubt, one of the best cars I have owned and I’ve owned Cadillac’s, two Mercedes Benz, Dodge Charger, Oldsmobile Cutlass and Subaru’s. This car has all the bells and whistles and is fun to drive. I’ve had it for 10 years and when I decide to buy another car, it will probably be another Red Hyundai Sonata hybrid

2011 Hyundai

Love how responsive it is. Love the features. Has >150k miles and runs great. Son’s in-laws bought it new, gave it to him and family used, we bought from him. Liked it so much planned on using till 200k then buy a newer one. Recent engine issue but replaced due to power train warranty. We may never trade it!

It's been a great vehicle.

We have over 100,000 miles on our Sonata, and it has been a great vehicle to own. Still get 35 mpg on the highway. I keep the oil changes and other maintenance right on schedule. It's also a fun car to drive.

I live my car

I’ve had my Hyundai Sonata for about 5-6 years and never had any problems. I love the size of the trunk! It has way more room than my Jeep Liberty which was a giant disappointment and no room! This car has plenty of room. ( I drive periodically from Southern NV to N CA. Good gas millage comfortable to drive and power when you need it.

A great vehicle, durable, economical, sporty, and comfortable

I have owned my Hyundai Sonata since 2011. At the time Hyundais were relatively recent manufacturers, at least in the U.S., and I realized I was taking a gamble on an unproven company's product. Over the next 9-plus or so years, I have had exceptional performance, mileage, comfort, and service on this vehicle. Recently there was a recall of many Sonatas in my car's vintage, due to an engine design problem, and my car fell into that recall category. A large piece of the engine was replaced with a brand new one, and throughout the process I was kept well-informed of what was going on. Despite being overwhelmed with work and inquiries, every staff member of the Hyundai of La Quinta dealership was polite, understanding, sincere, and honest about what was going on. I never felt like I was being "handled" or "played." In the end I walked away with a significantly replaced engine, and an exceptionally positive feeling about the dealership that has been taking blue-ribbon care of my car for the last 9 years.

It was love.... with a sad ending.

We have loved our 2011 Sonata for years because we really haven’t had many problems with it. Sure, there were like 9 recalls we had to have done in 2019, but it was still doing well. Until a week and a half ago. At 138,000 miles WITH NO WARNING, the engine cut off on the interstate. My husband was able to pull to the side of the road safely and after taking it to the shop we have learned that the engine seized up and Hyundai has had it for over a week and they’re supposed to be a lifetime powertrain warranty on the engine due to some of the recall campaigns. As of right now they are trying to do everything under the sun not to cover the engine that they put their guarantee behind. An engine shouldn’t die this young. It’s a shame that they are not standing by their word. It was a good car until that point. Short life!

2011 Hyundai Sonata

The 2011 Sonata is good looking and easy to handle. The exterior as well as the interior are still in good condition after ten years. The gas mileage is very good, and it is comfortable to take on long road trips.

I got my car used and it has a lot of small issues but I love it. It’s super reliable and easy to maintain I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for something that is not only has a classy look and feel to it but also is a complete gas saver

2011 Hyundai Sonata

Quite honestly, I never thought I would like a Hyundai. I grew up on Pontiac and Chevrolet. I am amazed with this car. It's handling and performance is awesome. It is a monster. I would highly recommend a Sonata. Unbelievable, really.

I had a lemon but I didn't purchase from Apple Valley

I had a lemon. It was the worst car I have ever purchased in my 54 years. It was broke down more than it was driveable. It was one thing after the other. I like the style of the car but the performance was TERRIBLE!

2011 Hyundai Sonata Hybrids are Lemons

there is ALWAYS something wrong with my vehicle. My car is classified as a “Lemon.” DO NOT purchase a 2011 Sonata Hybrid. You will sink so much money into it. Last year, I spent over 8k in repairs. From Dec-April of this year, another 1.7k in repairs! This car gets so many recalls and there was a previous lawsuit. My car is only worth up to 1k to trade or sell. It is an extreme waste.

2011 Sonata

I remember these cars back in the early 80's and referred to them as throw away cars. They were junk. They were cheap little commuter cars, drive them into the ground, then throw them away. I told myself I would never buy one. They've come along way since those days. Pretty dang reliable now!! We own two of them. Had a few issues, but nothing compared to other makes. All in all, a good reliable vehicle. Can't complain.

Killer car. 2011 Hyundai Sonata

Yep. This is the one made in Georgia with the recall for the engine catching fire and killing people. It was a gift, really. The check engine light comes on, car to dealer, Hyundai Motor America forces the dealer to do the cheapest repair possible and then it's brought back to me. Four times now. Hyundai Motor America knows the engine catches fire, so does nhtsb, the dealer and me. It's a manufacturing issue. So if your into major anxiety, a waste of time, and dishonest, liars for your car company, this Hyundai is for you. Owned Toyotas for 25 years before this.

First Make - Not Worth The Headache

I have owned this vehicle for over a year now and have spent about 9k in repairs. I have replaced the Transmission, Engine, and now the Radiator Shutter Flap Assembly. I would only recommend this car if you are only going to drive it for about 80k miles. I started having big issues around 107k miles and the story continues. I would consider this vehicle as a money pit.

Could've gotten a more durable car

I can't speak on newer models by my 2011 sonata has had to go in for literally a dozen recalls. I also had my motor die, found it was a recall. Also kinda long for a car. Trunk is a good size though, even though the opening, comparatively, is small.
