Overview & Reviews

The Hyundai Sonata receives minor exterior styling updates and an all-new interior for 2009, giving it one of the most upscale cabins in the midsize sedan class. Power and fuel economy have also been increased for both four- and six-cylinder engines, while the automatic transmission has been retuned for smoother shift quality. An auxiliary audio jack has been added to the standard features list, while the Limited trim level adds two-level heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control and an optional navigation system.

• Beautiful interior, velvety ride, spacious cabin and trunk, impressive value with long features list, lengthy warranty.

  Defintely not a gas sipper - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By bargain hunter - December 7 - 4:33 pm

  I only have the Sonata since October and I am very pleased with the interior of the car. However, the gas mileage is significantly lower (18 mpg) than what I was led to believe by the sticker (26 mpg). I feel like I was duped by the posted info. This car will never average 26 mpg.

  12000+ on the odo and still diggin it - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By still very happy - November 26 - 9:00 pm

  This is my 3rd review and I now have over 12,000 miles on my Sonata. I recently averaged 31.6 mpg on a family trip at speeds between 75 & 80 mph, which seems to validate the "broken-in engine gets better gas mileage" statement. My ONLY gripe thus far is the low tire pressure warning light that comes on intermediately in error. Not the end of the world, but annoying when you find yourself pulling over to check your tire inflation for no reason. Otherwise, for above-average "basic" transportation, this car is hard to beat. Id even recommend this car to my enemies.

  Wife loves Car - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By bklynguy - November 12 - 10:13 am

  Was tired of noisy poky 4 cyl cars and decided to go for broke with a top of the line midsized V6. With gas at $4 a gallon, had second thoughts about the V6. Test drove the Sonata SE and was impressed. With the Limited V6 priced about 6K less than the Camry XLE or Honda EX, decided to go for broke and use the savings for gas. Now that the price of gas has come down, Im delighted with the choice. Wife mostly drives it and loves it.

  Buy This Car - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By oceanis281 - November 8 - 3:00 am

  Have put over 17K miles in less then 9 mos and she still rides like a dream. Not ONE issue in any area that had to be fixed under warranty so far. The car rides as nice and quiet as my friends Lexus 350. Great looking car also. Handles well in the snow with just the 2 wheel drive. Whenever one of my friends rides in the car for the first time they almost always ask what kind of car it is and comment on how well it rides and feels. Priced and tested Honda Accord, Nissan Altima, Toyota Camry and this is by far the BEST value. The 100k warranty isnt bad also. This is the FIRST car with a sun/moon roof in which I can fit, being 6-5. and I still have plenty of head and leg room.

  WOW!!! - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By newguy - November 5 - 12:26 pm

  This is the first Hyundai product That Ive purchased. I am very impressed overall with this car. The power of the 4cyl is more than sufficient to get on the freeway here in Houston,TX and the cruise at 70mph+. The interior is very well appointed,I recommend the upgrade to power drivers seat and the sunroof!The wheel mounted audio controls are a must! Very nice to drive and handles like a much heavier car, not much road bump transmission!! The exterior is a bit plain,but still nice. I would say that for the money you cant beat this car. It replaced a Chevy HHR, the back seat is large enough to fit my daughter, who is 58"! Not bad for a car that gets 28 mpg even in heavy traffic!

  So far, so GREAT! Really happy with it. - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By Chadly - November 4 - 2:20 pm

  I researched a new midsize sedan for about 10 months, and kept coming back to the Sonata. It hurt me not to buy American, but this car just had everything I wanted - for a price no one could compete with. After (only) two and half months, its been exactly as advertised: Very nice interior; very good fuel economy (32 highway); handles well, and equally (if not more)important, impressed my snooty Infinity/BMW/Acura desiring wife!! Oh, and a note to those who complain about the doors automatically unlocking when you put the car in park... The owners manual says, in BOLD "This feature can be adjusted by your authorized Hyundai dealer". Read the manual!

  Wow What a Car - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By stephr74 - October 2 - 7:50 pm

  Just bought the 2009 Hyundai Sonata 2 weeks ago after owning a 1996 Camry for 10 years. I cant say enough about this car. I recently went on a road trip and was getting 35 MPG at 80 MPH. The exterior looks like a more expensive model and the interior is nice too. Wish I had upgraded to the sunroof though.

  Safe, Great Car, did I mention Safe? - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By Rob M - September 21 - 6:50 am

  The best car for the dollars, bar none. I had it for two months and then was rear ended by a full size Chevy pickup. Yes, I had some damage but the active headrest moved forward for both my wife and I and despite the impact from the speed of the Chevy we were FINE. I drive this car 96 miles per day and it is economical, reliable, comfortable and, did I mention, safe. Room for my 6+ ft sons in the back. GM has lost me to Hyundai, the only thing I dont like is that mine looks dowdy next to the new ones, very sharp. I have owned dozens of cars in my life and this is the very best for the money spent..a great value.

  Good but not a great car - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By Good not great - September 17 - 7:06 pm

  I only have 600 miles and its ok, I am disappointed in the rough and bumpy ride. Also the engine noise is more than I would expect out a new car. The styling of the exterior is good and the interior is better than some more expensive cars. The ride is stiff and bumpy, the engine noise is more than I would expect from a new car off the showroom floor. The transmission hesitates a bit. The rough road feel through the steering is annoying and tiresome. Its not a Camry or an Accord, but for a price of 25%-35% less its an ok transportation car.

  Good Buy, Looses Value. Boring. - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By ZNJ - September 17 - 6:36 am

  General: Boring, reliable, comfortable, good initial value, horrible resale value. OK if you plan to keep forever, lousy if you intend to trade or sell within 3 years.
