  Great Car - 2004 Hyundai Sonata
  By Surrey - January 10 - 10:00 am

  Was looking for a full featured car that we good afford. So far, the Hyundai seems to be well built, quiet and gets good gas mileage. Only very minor criticism is the drivers side overhead grab handle, which I continue to hit my head on when exiting the car. Other than that, great car for the money.

  Sonata is a great car - 2004 Hyundai Sonata
  By Dave - January 10 - 10:00 am

  I would recommend Sonata to anyone considering an Accord or Camry. Having owned a couple of Accords & having friends with Camrys. The Sonata is just as reliable & so much more affordable. Everyone thought it was uncool to by a Honda in the early 80s.

  Dont be afraid of Hyundai - 2004 Hyundai Sonata
  By WM/Charlotte - October 21 - 2:00 am

  I really like the design. From the front people think its a Mercedes. Im tall and the headroom and seat room beat most of the other cars I considered.

  exceeded expectations - 2004 Hyundai Sonata
  By verne - September 9 - 2:00 am

  I previously owned a ford Taurus 1996 and lost two auto transmissions, and ford would not give any help even though the transmission had only 50,000 miles, i had a factory new transmission installed and it lasted one year and 18,000 miles, but waranty said one year. So i decided to try the Hundai Sonata, and have found no troubles and been extremely happy with this car.

  Outstanding value - 2004 Hyundai Sonata
  By John - September 8 - 11:56 am

  Bought this when our other car died. The interior and acceleration sold me and my wife. We have the 4 cylinder. No problem getting to highway speed off of ramp, and that speed is 70 mph. I make frequent 600 mile trips and check mileage. My last trip highway mileage was 31.5 , which is better than the sticker said. This was the last year for south Korean made sonatas. They are now made in Montgomery Alabama.

  the only thing I can say in a negative light is that the transmission in the 0-5 mi per hour range feels loose.

  By Nogo - January 23 - 10:00 am

  Great Car - 2004 Hyundai Sonata
  By BillF - August 9 - 8:56 pm

  Since new, this has been a great car. It is quiet, powerful for a 2.7l engine and handles very well. We have had only one issue with the starter where the Bendix drive slipped. The starter turned but the engine didnt turn over. Roadside assistance was here within an hour, took it to the local dealer and claimed to find nothing. It has never done it again in over a year. Its the best 17K Ive spent on a car.

  OK car - 2004 Hyundai Sonata
  By Jeff - June 24 - 10:28 pm

  I bought my Sonata 6/04 and traded it 4/07 with 77K miles. It was comfortable, but with the 4cyl acceleration left something to be desired (with no MPG benefits to show- 22mpg, mostly hwy, in the winter, 24- 26 in the summer). Reliability was questionable (in the shop 3 times with emissions issues, 1X brakes, 1X fuel pump). My friend has a V6 Sonata with none of the issues, better MPG and much more power. It was comfortable, interior used cheap materials but put together well, and I did like the car. I will buy another Hyundai (but not when putting 25-30K miles a year on the car), may buy an Elantra or new Sonata to compliment my new BMW (2003 model) for when an auto trans would be nice.

  Good Car for The Price - 2004 Hyundai Sonata
  By Tony - April 16 - 9:02 am

  Like the styling and color. Performance is good for a small V-6 on the highway.
