Overview & Reviews

For 2005, trim levels have been slightly revised, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror with a HomeLink remote transmitter has been added to the LX.

• Excellent warranty, pleasant highway ride, refined V6 engine, lots of storage space.

• Noisy four-cylinder engine, bland interior design and materials, tight rear-seat legroom, tepid handling.

  Oh my God I love it - 2005 Hyundai Sonata
  By Joann - April 8 - 12:09 am

  I love it... It rides like a dream, so smooth a ride. I enjoyed driving so much I even took a day off from work just to drive it around. It looks like such an expensive car but is so affordable.

  By katgrl879 - March 30 - 1:02 am

  I love the car smooth ride, classy style. I had the smaller version of the Hyundai, but this Sonata is a great car for traveling far distances and also close to home.

  sonata fun - 2005 Hyundai Sonata
  By justine712 - March 29 - 2:44 pm

  I have really enjoyed my Hyundai Sonata. I havent had it more than 6 months but it has performed wonderfully so far. I love the comfort inside with its plush interior and roomy seats. I dont have to rub elbows with whoever is in the passengers seat. It is also large enough to store all of my Coast Guard equipment, which would overwhelm my closets. The outside is gorgeous, comparable to a Jaguar. People have assumed that my car costs a lot more than it actually does because of its overall package. I also love the shifter, going from automatic to manual in one shift is handy when I am trying to get on the parkway and no one will let me in, Long Island anyone? Great car, satisfied customer

  Hyundai Sonata is one to check out! - 2005 Hyundai Sonata
  By Kevin - March 28 - 11:05 pm

  Just purchased a 2005 powder white pearl Sonata GL, 4 cyc, auto with a power sunroof (acc Gp 3), wind deflector,& mats for $15,500 including rebates. I have 500 miles on the car and its a pleasure to drive. If you are looking for a good quality car with an outstanding warranty, and wish to spend 4-5K less than Honda or Toyota, check it out first before you test drive them. The tout is they will have a higher resale but not 4-5K more. The car could use a little more power (22 hps less than Honda), but lacks the "pop can" exterior Honda feel with more features than the basic Honda or Toyota. Ive owned all three Honda Accord, Toyota Camry,& now Hyundai Sonata. Drive it & weigh the difference

  3 Days on the road. - 2005 Hyundai Sonata
  By KurtM - March 28 - 1:55 pm

  I am looking for a new vehicle and rented a Sonata for a 3 day business trip to Florida. I drove close to 800 miles in the car and came to the conclusion I would not entertain buying one. The ride quality is an odd mix of harsh on bumps, yet floaty and vague. Handling is slow and heavy. The interior is nice looking, but not enough legroom or headroom. Dash and switch gear has high quality feel, but then you find corners cut on a plastic fuel filler door. For ride and space I would choose an Impala or Buick Regal over this car. OR for a sportier ride, the Mazda6 or Honda Accord.

  Much underated - 2005 Hyundai Sonata
  By D Lee - March 28 - 3:09 am

  I test drove every car in this class, and none of them drove as smooth and quiet as the Sonata. One of the pitfalls of front wheel drive is road noise. In this area, the Sonata excells with a very quiet ride. Its time for Consumer Reports to get over its love affair with the Toyota Camry (a much overated,overpriced car.)The Sonata is an excellent vehicle, and a real bargain!
