I must have gotten a Friday car.

My Sonata has not run right since day 1. I traded my 2023 Sonata N-Line for this one and I am beginning to regret it.

CHEAPISH

Very loud, sounds like a truck. My 2010 Honda was more quiet. Steering wheel vibrates at normal highway speeds but ya'll say it's balanced. After backing off from heavy acceleration the RPM's stay high for way too long. Even idle RPM is way higher than it should be. Have never seen below 800. Phone connectivity does what it wants. Sometimes connects, sometimes doesn't. When display comes on, sometimes GPS loads on screen, sometimes it's the menu. Sometimes phone alerts are heard and sometimes they're not.

A decent car, but a worrying trend

Great features and comfortable, but owning several Sonatas before this shows a troubling amount of issues with this latest Sonata.

My 2026 Sonata

I like the car overall, I traded the car from a Santa Cruz without a trunk to the Sonata to having a trunk. This was the main reason for my trade of the Santa Cruz to the Sonata. I have been having an issue with the transmission, I think. I've noticed that the transmission from park to reverse or forward if I move the switch to change gears it hits the transmission kind of hard. I've been able to resolve the issue for the most part by shifting forward very carefully ( slowly ) and then putting the car in reverse if needed. This is something that I plan on bringing up for my first service ( oil change ). I still only have 2300 miles so hopefully in a month I'll be able to have this adjusted or fixed somehow. I had a similar issue with the SantaCruz so for a while I thought it was something with Hyundai's. So far besides this I think the car drives fine. I do find this to be a shame because both cars were bought brand new from the dealerships. By the way the car does automatically put the car automatically with the hand park option and if it does not because the car is not in enough of a slant I always use the hand park option from habit from prior car ownerships.

Overall it’s a smooth ride. However this car is so slow. The engine sucks. I’ve had to get my horn fixed twice now. Would not buy a Hyundai again. There are so many better cars out there.
