Hybrid MPG Awsome!!!

I have had my Hybrid for 4 years and never had any issues. I bought is used and saved tons. I average 39 MPG in town. Love all the gadgets in the Ultimate model. If I didn't want a SUV I would buy another Sonata Hybrid.

Good car

I love the car. It has fast acceleration and great handling. The only problem is that there is no after market remote start (you have to pay for a service). It also has quite a bit road noise. Besides that I had a great time with this car.

So far......

This has been a fine car with a few exceptions. Mileage has not been what was promised after about 45,000 miles. Cannot get a Haynes manual for the car. Shifting from battery to gas is not smooth or quick, had a few close calls as a result. I have a spare which is nice since other models don't . There have been many recalls for parts and systems. Not convenient. Still runs pretty quiet at almost 90,000 miles. There is a weird thing with how you have to open the doors,esp.with the passenger side.

Great service!

I'm always satisfied with the service. The person who greets me whoever it may be, is always helpful & respectful! My Sonata is a nice ride, easy to get in and out of & has really given me reliability!

Great Car

The car is good on gas and handles the road well...It had some Recalls but the Hyundai dealership will fix free of charge. If you looking for a great car the Sonata is a must to test drive. The car is reasonable priced and will last a very long time if maintenance is scheduled at regular intervals.

Hyundai for Life Time

I love my car. I am a Honda girl through and through....well I used to be. So long as Hyundai continues to produce the same quality with benefits of purchase and the price, there is no question that I will continue to go back to Hyundai. I have yet to be dissatisfied with my purchase. I would like to upgrade to a Santa Fe but am looking for one that has an affordable monthly payment.

Oldie but a Goodie!

When you drive passengers for a living, as I do with Lyft, you discover very quickly what you need in an ideal vehicle, and -so far- my 2012 Hyundai Sonata has delivered. Easy to drive, comfortable for ALL passengers, loads of space in the trunk, a distinctive body style and color (I get a LOT of comments about the color, which seems to shift from deep blue to purple (my favorite color). No one can believe it’s a USED car! It’s the first time driving or owning a Hyundai, and I already know it won’t be my last!

Money pit

I had a Honda with 250,000 miles on it, and barely spent any money to keep it running. I am thousands of dollars out with this vehicle. After just purchasing it I needed an entire motor and turbo. Countless things go wrong all the time and it is a 2012!

2012 Hyundai Sonata

on the whole I've enjoyed my Sonata. But you need to let buyers of the Hybrid Sonata know where to put the key if the car should shut down. This would have saved me over 300 dollars in tow just knowing this. Now on long trips I leave the key in the port while traveling.

2012 Hyundai Sonata

The 2012 Sonata is not only a stylish, beautiful car, it is dependable, gets good gas mileage, and rarely has any problems. Plan to keep it for years to come. The trunk is spacious. The push button start is easy to use. It is a great 'road' car for going on a trip. Comfortable ride.

Truthfully, 2.0t limited is a wonderful car

Drives wonderfully. Definitely a "highway car" aka commuter. Has some decent power under the hood. HP increases as you give it more gas with a slight delay I love to drive it-Sometimes I do so without a destination in mind.

Happy so far.

I am very pleased so far with my 2012 Sonata. It is serving me well. I think it might be the best car I have ever had. It is a little noisy and rides a little rough, but I knew this when I got it. Love the warranty.

2012 Sonata

This has been a great car. It is a full size car that gets great gas mileage. This car is very comfortable to drive long distances. The turbo charged engine is great and adds a sporty feel to the car. People comment all the time on the sleek sporty look of the car

Awesome and Reliable

Beautiful and Reliable. Only complaint is my rear tail lights keep burning out. (Just when applying brake). I see this on other Sonatas like mine on the road. Might be recall worthy. Hyundai does make excellent cars overall.

Electrical issues

Although i thought i was getting a good deal with this car I think I wont be buying another Hyundai. Too expensive to maintain. Many issues with electrical, such as back lights, door locks, A/C and recalls.
