Love the Sonata
I own a 2011 Sonata GLS, with Nav package and other upgraded trim options (so not the standard, run of the mill GLS...which is the base model). That being said, this is a great car. It is easily the best car I've ever owned. If on the open highway for long periods of time (I've driven from MN to CA and CA to CO moving around), I'd say I've AVERAGED about 38 MPG on the open road at 75 or 80 mph. Nothing to sneeze at. And I have CONFIRMED this by logging how much fuel I purchased and how far I drove...not from the trip computer. (It should be noted that I keep impeccable care of my car and ONLY use top-tier fuel at 91 octane...if possible only Shell, Chevron, or Texaco fuel since they all contain Techron detergent). In city driving, I have been averaging about 22-24 MPG.
The car is beautiful inside and out. I actually like the interior styling more than the new Sonatas. It is very ergonomic and quiet also. I test drove other cars in its class (Altima, Camry, Accord) and the Sonata crushed them. Just absolutely crushed them. Great value to for the money, and it runs like new even 5 years after buying it (again, I take really good car of my property...a lot of people don't).
