  • 98 Sonata Reliability for less - 1998 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    Great experience - no mechanical or transmission problems ever- just oil changes. For the price like driving an accord for half the cost

  • love this car - 1998 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    This car feels big and expensive. I bought it used and spent about 1/2 of what I would have for a new version of a competing car (Accord, Altima, etc.). I have spent the past few years driving from Phoenix to LA and back and this car has taken it like a champ - very comfortable and safe-feeling car. The only problems I have had are the motors on the power windows going bad, the power door locks lock themselves when the weather gets warm (???) and for the life of us, we cant get the brakes to stop sqealing. All bearable to have a car I can rely on and that fits me like a glove.

  • It Keeps On Surprising Me - 1998 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    One day some friends of of mind gave ride in this car they had rented, it was 98 Hyundai Sonata I new nothing about them, but I remember getting out of it after they had dropped me off, thinking damn that car really feels good, it good to, it was Mid Night Blue with leather seat V6 in order word Heaven. I now own that same car, I bought it from the rental company that owned it, its been over a year and as I said it just keeps on getting better. I hear the critics say it cheap, unreliable, and all of that well I dont know what they are talk about...I feel like king in such a beatiful car. Driving really is Believing!

    The exterior ressembles many larger, nicer vehicles, that cost more money. That means affordible style to me.
