Overview & Reviews

The Sonata gets only minor trim changes for 2001, such as a new grille design and some tweaks to the rear deck lid. Additional features are ladled onto the standard equipment list.

• Excellent warranty, stylish sheetmetal, lots of bang for your family-sedan buck.

• Noisy four-cylinder engine, breathless optional V6.

  300,000 miles - 2001 Hyundai Sonata
  By 2001sonatagls - December 27 - 5:33 pm

  I bought my Sonata GLS new in the summer of 2001. I have a 43 mile one way commute to work. I change the oil every 3,000 miles. I replace the engine coolant and transmission fluid every 60,000 miles. I replace the timing belt and serpentine belt every 60,000 miles. My reward for taking care of my car is 300,800 miles so far. My car does not use any oil or leak any fluids. Ive had work done on the AC system once and had it charged a second time. I replaced the front wheel bearings once and each of the front tie rods once. Eleven and on half years of reliable service sums up my satisfaction with Hyundai. btw, This is the first car that I have ever kept past 100,000 mile.

  I LOVE IT even 200,000 miles later - 2001 Hyundai Sonata
  By shelly09 - March 6 - 10:58 am

  I love this car. I bought it 2 years ago as my first car. It is getting me through college. It is the most reliable car ever. I am 2nd owner and 200,000 miles as of yesterday. the only problem I have had was a small leak in the power steering line. I get good miles and it is quite. I call it my dolphine because of the long nose and short tail. :). I do not regret getting this car.

  AWESOME CAR!!! - 2001 Hyundai Sonata
  By Michelle R. - February 2 - 4:59 pm

  I really love this car. My Fiancee bought me the car as a present to replace my old Nissan Altima. It has plenty of room for our kids. Is great on mileage and the sun roof is a lot of fun on sunny days in Florida. I would recommend the car to anyone!

  Love It!!!!! - 2001 Hyundai Sonata
  By Cmt4lif02 - January 5 - 11:30 am

  Ive had my car for a year now and it has been the best thing ever. It has gotten me back and forward to school, and the gas mileage is good. The car also has great handling and control. Ive had minimal problems with the car. It holds up well when something is wrong though. I would suggest this car for any young driver.

  I love all things Hyundai - 2001 Hyundai Sonata
  By CoraNecole - June 1 - 9:09 pm

  I am the proud owner of four Hyundais. Three Sonatas and one Accent. Did have a 99 Elantra. I just passed to my daughter my "01 Sonata after buying a new "08". I just love that car. I told my kids as they got old enough to drive that if they wanted me to buy them a car that it could only be a Hyundai. When you come to my house it looks like a dealership. I will forever be loyal to the Hyundai family of cars. They have taken great care of my family. With the exception of one problem caused by human error, my run with the brand has been great. I am now looking forward to the Genesis. GO HYUNDAI!!!!

  Take care of it, and it can last - 2001 Hyundai Sonata
  By Chris from AZ - December 20 - 2:39 am

  I bought the car for the the reliabillity of its engine, which has proven to be reliable beyond 130,000 and still going. As with ALL cars things WILL go over time, none of them major. Taking care of it and replacing the transmission mount at 100k (which is the cause of uncontrolled reving, and gear slip) Gear slip is also caused by finicky INPUT and OUTPUT speed sensors. In either case the problem goes away when fixed.

  My Hyundai Sonata - 2001 Hyundai Sonata
  By Roberta Richards - October 18 - 9:54 pm

  I have found this to be a very fine vehicle. I purchased it with 26,000 miles on it and now have over 108,000 and with the exception of new tires and a recent brake job I have done nothing other that routine oil changes and maintenance. I also get about 33 mpg so it is economical to run. The back seat folds down so I have been able to cargo almost everything Ive had need to.

  Great car! - 2001 Hyundai Sonata
  By Daniel Yorgov - March 3 - 10:11 pm

  I bought this car used 3 months ago and I took it on a 1300 miles trip on the very next day. GLS Leather is very comfortable and roomy inside. It is also a beauty: I have had quite a few good comments from my friends. It proofed itself as very dependable vehicle in the extreme upper Michigan weather conditions. Definitely will consider buying Sonata again!

  Love my Sonata - 2001 Hyundai Sonata
  By Seannas Mom - September 13 - 2:00 am

  This is possibly the best car Ill ever own. She has been totally reliable, beautiful and fun to drive. As small as it looks, this car was big enough to accomodate me, my 10 cats in their cages and their supplies for our move from New Jersey to Florida. Illmiss her when I have to trade her in.
