Reliable and fuel efficient Sonata
My wife and I liked our previous Hyundai Elantras because of their reliability and handling enough that we let our daughters have them once they went off to college. However, instead of getting another new Elantra, we each eventually got a Sonata. I don't recall ever having any problems with either one (from 2011 and 2017), other than regular wear and tear on tires and windshield wipers. Last year, we made a trip from Anderson, SC to Annapolis, Md (over 540 miles) in my wife's 2017 Sonata on a single tank of gas, averaging 40 mpg. On our trip home, I had to get gas just before we entered SC. Our gas mileage had dropped to about 36 mpg on the return trip due to traffic backups and road construction on the interstates. Our typical mileage during numerous local and short trips is about 26 mpg. This great reliability and good gas mileage are reasons we enjoy the Sonatas so much. My wife also likes its looks, while I'm not concerned about that.
