  • Radio gave way - 2004 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    Just bought my Sonata a week ago. LX with all the works including moonroof, homelink. Hadnt driven it only even 100 miles when the radio went out. Radio fuse was intact. Took it dealer, theyre replacing the entire radio, well see if it causes me more problems. The ride, however, is superb, and overall am very happy with the puchase. Good acceleration. Quiet over NYC potholes.

    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.

    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.

    My 85 yr old mother purchased this 2004 sonata gls new. Turned into on coming traffic and was hit head on, the other car was totaled she received only a minor bruise from the air bag. We hoped they would total it so he didnt have to put her back on the road. Ins fixed it, she no longer drives and I have been driving it. Now I am glad they repaired it, its the best car I have ever owned.

  • Missing my Sonata - 2004 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    I bought my Sonata used and had it for two wonderful years before my 16 year old totaled it. The car kept her perfectly safe and didnt even look back after the accident. I cried when the insurance man said, "total loss". That was the best car I have ever owned, I never had a single problem with that car. It was so fun to drive and I loved the exterior style. The gas mileage wasnt as good as I would have liked but I sure miss my Sonata. I ordered a brand new Sonata today, Im sold!

    I purchased this car new and now have 104,000 miles on it. I have all the recommended services performed and have had NO problems at all. Very reliable and comfortable. After 4 years, I still enjoy driving this vehicle. I would recommend Hyundai to anyone wanting a lot of car for a lot less money than competitors.

  • Great Car Very Safe - 2004 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    Excellent car had it for 4 years only had to replace battery , thermostat, and brakes, only maintenance i did was change oil every 3000 miles, change out coolant ,change timing belt and all other belts and air filters and of course oil filters and wiper blades did NO other maintenance . Car saved my life in a major accident recently. Did excellent job in crash. Was hit by other vehicle going 80 mph. and I walked away with only minor bruises and a little soreness, of course was wearing seat belt, But the car was totaled but I was unhurt for the most part. Could not ask for better car. Great gas mileage and reliability. Get Gap Protection it is worth the investment!!
