  Good car for the price range - 2000 Hyundai Sonata
  By walt7873 - June 9 - 11:15 pm

  We purchased our car in 2002 with 50000 miles on it. We havent had any major problems with it. The engine still has lots of pep after 78000 miles and the AC is ice cold. Our Sonata has tons of features that other cars in its price range cant touch. The interior feels classy and it rides smooth. It has been a great car for us.

  Engine Lights, all over the place! - 2000 Hyundai Sonata
  By frustrated - April 3 - 4:03 pm

  I bought this car used 2 years ago, was told the title was clean, and right at 60K miles. Drove very well for about a year, and then the engine light came on. Powertrain, I thought! That covers engines. Wrong! Car had been salvaged, seller lied, and Hyundai wont honor the warranty. We learned a lesson. Spark plugs, wiring all needed to be replaced ($600- $650). Now, 3 months after we got that fixed, the engine light is on AGAIN. Im sure it did this crap to the previous owner as well, which is probably why they totaled it in the first place.

  Worth the price - 2000 Hyundai Sonata
  By Bekka - October 3 - 9:28 pm

  I bought the car @ 64K from my sister, the original owner. I really had no major problems with this car until about 128K, and even in the past 3K miles Ive had to replace (the original!) timing belt, serpentine belt, upper ball joint and crankshaft pulley (which I think was mechanics fault) I had several things replaced by the warranty, no problems-the most major one was the alternator. I think that the transmission is starting to go, and the performance has dropped a lot now, but @ 131K for a less expensive sedan, I dont think its that bad. Up until 125K I absolutely adored this car, worry-free.

  Its a Korean Miracle - 2000 Hyundai Sonata
  By Edward Jones - October 3 - 3:20 pm

  When you ride on a Sonata 2000 is a big change from the predecesor models. It runs soft and quiet. One thing of many I like most is the fuel efficiency on road, specially on this times of high fuel prices.

  Low Expectations to Begin With - 2000 Hyundai Sonata
  By NorthEast - September 25 - 1:05 pm

  Purchased for only $15k, so expectations were low. Few problems first couple years, little by little minor things started to break (visor, carpet clips, plastic covers for seat belts, trunk console hinge, pwr window components, door lock, exterior handle, etc.) With 55,000 miles, tires wore out, front brakes and rotors...not bad at all. At 58,000 miles, rear wheel bearing goes....mech inspected others and they are ok for now. $250 for repair. All and all, not bad in terms of how much I am spending, Im just amazed at how many things have failed on the car. I hear the newer models are made better....cant cost that much to make plastic components thicker to prevent breaking, etc.

  That darn ABS/TCS light! - 2000 Hyundai Sonata
  By Barry - August 29 - 12:42 pm

  ABS/TCS lamp comes on in damp wheather (when you really need the TCS). Dealership cant figure it out. Trans has blow in & out speed sensors (seperately) and neither was covered under warrenty ($200 a pop!). Trans blew internal solenoid. Dealer repaired under warrenty minus $$ for trani flush. "Intelligent" transmission is actually pretty dumb. Shifting is usually sluggish and its gear choice bogs the engine down too much. Front grill design...is pretty absent. ...Looks like that guy didnt show up for work that day.

  Waste of Money!!! - 2000 Hyundai Sonata
  By Amanda - December 24 - 7:33 pm

  I bought this car from my brother less than a year age, it doesnt even have 80,000 miles on it yet and the sub-frame has rotted out and has become undrivable. I dont understand how a car company can get away with using material that can get rotted out so quickly and pose a hazard to the peoples safety like that. I have had older cars that did not have these problems. On top of that I am having transmissions problems with it as well and my power window motor is fried. If I knew then what I know now I would have not bought the piece of junk. Hyundai should be ashamed and I am glad that I did not get in an accident with my children in the car due to this problem.

  Im disappointed!! - 2000 Hyundai Sonata
  By jean - September 25 - 12:07 pm

  i bought this car brand new.had no problems with it. bought another car and gave it to my daughter 1.5 yrs ago. she had the tires changed and found a huge hole in the subframe rusted from the inside out. the car has 106000 miles and Hyundai will not fix it. i have never heard of a 6 year old car frame rusting through in half. my daugher could have been killed. i trusted my Hyundai. it is definitely a faulty parts problem.

  Stay away. - 2000 Hyundai Sonata
  By jheoaustin - August 3 - 1:21 pm

  I bought this piece of junk in 2002 from the original owner at 11K miles. It started troubling a week after the purchase, from the minor power window break. Then I had to visit dealership about 10 times to fix the symptoms from check engine light to stall on the road. 4 months after new car warranty expired, it now refuses to accelerate, which was fixed 2 years ago. Dont believe Hyundais good rating. I believe you would regret if you did.
