Nice car, but the jury is still out
I decided to purchase a 2018 Sonata SE based off of its warranty, dependability/reliability rating, safety features and at the time I had not heard anything negative about Hyundai vehicles. Fast Forward 5 months and I have to say that I do not think that I would make the same purchase. Perhaps the V6 engine would feel better/ sound better to me than the 4 cylinder version. The car looks great inside and out, the interior is roomy and the safety features are good. My issues are with the noise of the engine while driving, the lack of power in the engine, the fact that my starter went out on my Sonata after only 5 months, and all of the online issues associated with engine failures with Hyundai Vehicles due to possibly a quality control issue or just plain negligence by the manufacturer. Perhaps my mind will change over time so long as I do not have any other issues anytime soon but for now this is not a great first impression.
