  I love this car - its a keeper! - 2004 Hyundai Sonata
  By Lolo - September 11 - 2:00 am

  I cant say enough about my Sonata. Its dependable, reliable and simply a great looking car. I saw someone driving this car in 2004, walked into my credit union back inquired on this vehicle and said exactly what I wanted and I got it 2 days later. Never test drive this car, first time ever doing that when purchasing a car! Best thing I ever did and have not regrets either. I plan on buying another Hyundai but I do plan to keep my Sonata. It too had a paint chip in the door handles and a radiator replacement but overall its an outstanding car. I have had this car 6 years now and approximately 190,000 miles. Imagine that! Longest I ever owned a car with that many miles.

  Best Sonata that Hyundai has ever made! - 2004 Hyundai Sonata
  By Jason - September 6 - 2:00 am

  I have had this car for about a year and a half, and I love it. The only downside is city mileage. I love the style inside and out. Inside, the mahogany wood grain complements the interior nicely. Plus, the body style has an expensive look to it. It is silver, which to me is the best color of all the 04 Sonatas. Its sleek, sporty, and rather fast surprisingly. I have the V6 2.7L, which delivers a lot of power and speed. It may be six years old, but she still runs like a champ. I Love this car, and I hope to get another 100,000 thousand miles out of her.

  Love My Sonata - 2004 Hyundai Sonata
  By Charles P - June 15 - 12:34 am

  Love this car. Also own Lincoln Town Car. 72,900 on it now and have only replaced the headlights (3 times) but I drive with them on all the time. Bought it 2 yr old with 18,000 miles and it has not whimpered one time. Car cruises at 75-80 on a regular basis, the ac is always cold, suspension is tight and I have only replaced tires and a battery. Use it as the community car when company comes and they love it. Even the BMW and Audi owner. The car is heavy for its size and hugs the road. Did a 3500 mile road trip without fail, no issues. It gets about 26 mpg and growls when you really romp it.

  My first car! - 2004 Hyundai Sonata
  By Deputy Tut - May 14 - 1:10 pm

  This is my first car and i love it! But i have a few problems. The caps for the fogs lights come off real easily. I have a check engine light on for a cylinder 3 misfire. The emergency brake barely works, the headlights dont last long. The power steer is shot. The power antenna doesnt work. But it is an extremely reliable car. I plan to own it for a long time. I would recommend this car to anybody.

  My First Sonata - 2004 Hyundai Sonata
  By j0anne@bellsouth.net - May 10 - 9:18 am

  I have a 100 mile commute to work. This is primarily driven on a Interstate. Nothing has been replaced on the car except for the air conditioner condenser, because a rock punctured the original. As of today I have 119,000 on the car and still enjoy it like it was new. My next car is going to be the Sonata Hybrid. Thanks for making a great car.

  Walking Hyundai Commercial - 2004 Hyundai Sonata
  By angelgirl - April 23 - 1:46 pm

  I love this car! I bought it new and have 190000 miles on it. I have had water pump and timing at 100000 miles and those are standard items to go at that mileage. I would recommend this car to anyone and hope to have another brand new Sonata soon!

  Great Car for the money - 2004 Hyundai Sonata
  By A.Quint - January 25 - 11:25 am

  I have had this car for almost 4 years. I have not had any problems with it. I have 98k miles. I have normal maintenance on it and purchased one set of tires only. As for warranties. The power train warranty is great. I just recently took it in for inspections and there is some work that will be covered by the warranty.

  Favorite Car - 2004 Hyundai Sonata
  By Theo - January 23 - 12:01 am

  This car is super smooth at any speed. In my fifth year of driving it and would be glad to drive it another five. If it were totaled tomorrow and I had to buy another car, I would look for another 04 (maybe an 05) Sonata. Most problems were covered by the extended warranty. Im pushing 120k, so Im on own now. Drivers side air bag doesnt work. Service tech at the Hyundai dealer said its caused by all the trash pushed up under the seat, thats my fault. I get a little over 20mpg. Could be better but I admit I have a heavy foot.
