It serves me well
My 2012 Sonata is a comfortable family car, although most of the time I am the only person in the car. I drive conservatively and get around 28 mpg overall. If I put the back seats down. I can get ten foot lengths of pipe inside the car on trips to the home improvement stores, and all windows and doors are closed. On the highway there is sometimes more road noise than I would like. When I first got the car, the steering was "twitchy," but that settled in after 10,000 or so miles. When I first got the car I found I could not see the corner of the fenders and was not sure how close to another car I was, but now I have a sense of how close I am, even though I still cannot see the corner of the fenders. The rear side posts behind the rear doors sometimes obstructs vision a little if I am looking over my shoulder, even with the triangular cut outs in the posts. When I first got the car, I noticed the side mirrors left blind spots in my vision. That made changing lanes more difficult. I have since added convex stick on mirrors from a local auto parts store. A larger concern was the current draw when the car is left unused. Computer things running in the background draw 470 milliamperes continuously. In ten days the battery is too depleted to start the car. By poking around on Internet blogs I learned there is a memory fuse behind a cover at the driver's left knee. Now I know to pull it before I leave town. I was disappointed that dealers did not know about this and did not tell me about it. A friend in another city inquired about it at his dealer. That dealer was just as unknowing. When I contacted Hyundai about this they told me I had emergency road service. But, when I have been gone for two weeks and fly into my home airport at 11 PM to find my battery dead and have to wait 45 minutes for emergency road service to find me and get me running. I want to go right home and go to bed. I like the car, but there was a customer service blind spot.
