  • a great look, price, and comfort - 2005 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    Just purchased this 2005 used Hyundai Sonata LX. Now, eventhough this car was previously owned by a rent-a car business, has 20,000 miles.. The price and the ride is tops! The car also has a clean bill of health.. I checked... If you want a luxurious looking and feeling midsize car. buy this one!

    I drove out of the dealership in a beautiful bright silver 2005 Sonata for less than $16,000.00 total (WOW). Its a great mid size car for the price. Very comfortable ride, and very good looking too. I get plenty of compliments on this vehicle.

    For a 17k dollar car, this is really worth the money. Quiet, smooth, decent power, well equipped, excellent warranty. What else do you want?

  • I upgraded from an Accent to a Sonata - 2005 Hyundai Sonata

    I have owned a Hyundai since 2002...I just upgraded from an Accent to a Sonata. The comfort of the Sonata and the performance is wonderful. I cant say enough about my car and the dealership where I purchased it.... I dealt with West Palm Hyundai back in 2002 and am happy to be a return customer

  • More Bang For Your Buck - 2005 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    Car handles well when driving even in the rain. Engine noise is not loud so I dont know why other consumer said it was loud. It looks like a Jag car on the road. Im happy with the driving performance, I have a 4 cylinder and it felt like a V6. I feel Hyundai really wants my business and cares about their customers even long after you buy the car. I feel that Hyundai quality in the GL 2005 Sonata has improved so much that it can compete against Japanese cars. Im beginning to see more people on the road with a quality car that cant afford a big name brand car like Toyota or Honda. This car safety features are great with standard side impact airbags.

  • Great Drive - 2005 Hyundai Sonata

    When I first saw this car on the road I said, hmmmm that looks like a Jaguar, but as I got close I soon learned it was a Hyundai. Well I found myself needing a car a few days ago and shopped around.I stopped by Darcy Hyundai in Joliet and there it was in the showroom and I immediately fell in love with this car. It had every thing I wanted in a car and it was standard. I also learned that this car came with features that not too long ago were not standard. This was a pleasant surprise. It has the sleek front end look of a Jaguar this is why I purchased it.

  • *Best BANG for the BUCK* - 2005 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    I loved my 1999 Sonata GLS with the best backed warranty Ive ever experienced. No song and dance or smoke and mirrors. Id had with U.S. cars over forty years. With Hyundai its covered, no questions asked. And with the incentives on the 2005s I just couldnt say no to the beautiful LX. The new styling and improved engineering are a real delight at about the same price I paid six years ago. Way To Go Hyundai*****
