  Great Car - 2004 Hyundai Sonata
  By Vlad - December 11 - 9:17 am

  This is great car. My wife bought this car brand new. It is fun to drive and has been very reliable after 62,000 miles. We drove it all over the country to SC, FL, Phile, Kansas City, NYC, Cleveland, St. Louis, Gatlinburg. Good substitution for an Accord or a Camry. Great warranty on this also.

  MY BABY JAG!!! - 2004 Hyundai Sonata
  By JOY - September 13 - 9:49 pm

  My first car ever was the Excel she treated well through out those harsh Chicago winters. So I moved up to the Elantra she treated well also. So I said what the heck get the Sonata. I think the 2004 has the best body build of all the Hyundais. I love the quick speed pick up of that V6 engine, those horses just win durby evry time. I have not attemped to use that shift gear, for what? I still get asked what kind of car is that when I am at the car wash. People call it a baby Jag. The back spoiler I had installed gives it such a arrow dynamic look and feel. When I let my friend drive it one day and she drive up in it, I was like is that me!!!! Yes! I am very happy with my baby Jag

  The best in its class...no doubt! - 2004 Hyundai Sonata
  By Jong - August 10 - 10:00 am

  Very comfortable, quiet, smooth ride and lots of features period. Why would anyone wants to buy something else for more money. This is a very well-built and designed car. Camry and Accord? Oh! Please.....Hyundai on the rise. Watch out!

  Love this car - 2004 Hyundai Sonata
  By fiVe - August 10 - 10:00 am

  Weve had the car 2 weeks & have approx. 400 miles. I really like this car--power, smooth ride, great value. It just feels right when you drive it. We think it looks like a Jag. We had a good buying experience and got a great deal. You cant beat the warranty. Im very impressed with what Hyundai has done here.

  Great Car - 2004 Hyundai Sonata
  By BillF - August 9 - 8:56 pm

  Since new, this has been a great car. It is quiet, powerful for a 2.7l engine and handles very well. We have had only one issue with the starter where the Bendix drive slipped. The starter turned but the engine didnt turn over. Roadside assistance was here within an hour, took it to the local dealer and claimed to find nothing. It has never done it again in over a year. Its the best 17K Ive spent on a car.

  Great Car - 2004 Hyundai Sonata
  By Sapient - July 31 - 7:47 am

  I have been very happy with this purchase. The only downside is fuel economy. I usually get 21 MPG for non-highway traffic (and that is with climate control turned on). For a V6 the MPG is not bad.

  OK car - 2004 Hyundai Sonata
  By Jeff - June 24 - 10:28 pm

  I bought my Sonata 6/04 and traded it 4/07 with 77K miles. It was comfortable, but with the 4cyl acceleration left something to be desired (with no MPG benefits to show- 22mpg, mostly hwy, in the winter, 24- 26 in the summer). Reliability was questionable (in the shop 3 times with emissions issues, 1X brakes, 1X fuel pump). My friend has a V6 Sonata with none of the issues, better MPG and much more power. It was comfortable, interior used cheap materials but put together well, and I did like the car. I will buy another Hyundai (but not when putting 25-30K miles a year on the car), may buy an Elantra or new Sonata to compliment my new BMW (2003 model) for when an auto trans would be nice.

  Great Car - 2004 Hyundai Sonata
  By W. Thomas - May 11 - 10:00 am

  I just purchased my first Hyundai Sonata (LX)in March and drove it from CT to MO. This was one of the best cars Ive ever driven and this is taking into account that prior to purchasing this car Ive never owned anything but Volvos. Actually the car drives alot like a Volvo but is much more spacious, and has more play in the brakes and at half the price. All I can say is Im glad I made the purchase..."Great Car"

  Like the styling and color. Performance is good for a small V-6 on the highway.
