  Hyundai Sonata - 2005 Hyundai Sonata
  By B. Pratt - May 27 - 8:06 am

  Ive had to return the vehicle to the dealer one time for a minor hood adjustment. Other than that the car has been flawless, fun to drive and its frequently confused with some of the high-end Japanese imports. What a bargain!!!

  should have waited on 2006 - 2005 Hyundai Sonata
  By John - May 20 - 8:09 pm

  I had a 99 Elantra with 160,000 miles and it was a great car. I saw an ad for the 2006 Sonata and went to a local dealership. He told me that it would be several months before the 2006 Sonata would be available and wouldnt have any discounts for 6 months after release. I gave in and purchased the 2005 GL with the power moonroof as the only luxury. They gave me nothing for my tradein. The salesman kept me so busy using the shifter that I didnt notice the 4cyl engine vibration. I did the first day I took it to work and brought it in to be checked out, they told me all the 4 cyl vibrate that badly and there was nothing that could be done. I have had people stop carpooling because of it.

  Great Car - 2005 Hyundai Sonata
  By Bill - April 14 - 6:14 am

  Its a great car, loaded with room, style, solid, and just fun to drive. Handles better, runs smoother, and lots more ease of driving than our Mazda 626.

  great care - 2005 Hyundai Sonata
  By jim - February 24 - 9:55 pm

  great car, great options, great warranty, smooth to drive, price is unbeatable, we have had minivans and suvs, but notice little difference in travel, trunk is huge for a midsize and long trips are comfortable. we come from a family that all work for the major u.s. car companies where we could use the employee discounts, we still chose the sonata. the other cars in this class couldnt compare.....we will definately choose another hyundai and reccommend it to everyone

  A pleasant surprise - 2005 Hyundai Sonata
  By Jack S. - February 10 - 6:40 pm

  After purchasing my 1st Hyundai in April 2005 it seems that every time I use my vehicle I find a new pleasant surprise. The power in this sedan is deceptive, I got more then I expected out of the 2.7L 6 Cyl. engine. My prior car was a Pontiac Bonneville and I would rate the Hyndai on par for comfort. In the sound system it was super. I keep my cars clean and have received a multitude of compliments for this Black (Ebony) and Charcoal interior. Last but far from least is the safety factor which I have researched and found to be exceptional. If Hyundai continues to build cars in this fasion, the have a repeat buyer with me. Good job guys !

  Just the facts - 2005 Hyundai Sonata
  By Jack - January 29 - 2:16 pm

  Because of information on TV about Hyundai had grapped my attention. Upon seeing and driving the car I was surprised at how easy it was to drive, the power and a smooth ride. After checking the safety features I was truly a happy camper. It seems that every time I use the car I discover another amenity that I had missed although the Sales Rep. had gone through the car with me a number of times. The car also has small features like an area for a Cell phone or pack of cigarettes. The power the car has is not normally found in a vehicle that gets 26 to 35 miles per gallon of gas. It really is an car that gives you more than the price you pay.

  Rough idle - 2005 Hyundai Sonata
  By Will - January 29 - 1:17 am

  Good value overall for the price range.Very nice design, features. A few problems - front corners of trunk too tight chipping paint, but mostly very very rough idle. Have had it back to dealer many times and cannot find anything wrong. Getting frustrated. As long as RPMs are over 900 runs very nicely.
