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.

  GPS Upgrade, $199.99 "Robery" - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By VICTOR216 - September 1 - 10:53 am

  The GPS update is $199.99 per yr, I will buy a TomTom Portable GPS with lifetime Free Map Updates. Second Problem on the Hwy wind noise is too laud as if we had our windows open, poor construction. Acceleration very week, transmission problem but the dealer cant find the problem. Corporate office wont even help they will refer you to the local dealers where they continued to fail finding the problem. Good looking car but Construction & Customer Service is very poor.

  "my sonat is hot - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By rockstar - August 31 - 1:13 am

  After having a 01 Saturn, elantra07 and now the sonata. After originally test driving Genesis, priced to high, but loved it overall. Without even test driving sonata I said, if price was good Id buy. After the test drive, I was impressed! Bought it, traded 07 elan (elantra). I really enjoy my 09 sonata it turns heads where ever I go its black on black (black out) and pulling up next to a Toyota cam, Honda accord, even a c-class Benz. I truly recommend if you looking for a great car sonata 09 is it. Buy it now. Proud to drive a sonata.

  My first Hyundai - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By Erick - August 21 - 4:36 am

  My 97 Lexus ES 300 was beginning to age and needed repairs. I decided instead to purchase a new vehicle. After a ton of searching, I settled on a 2009 Sonata. Ive put over 500 miles on it and have loved every second of it. After comparing it to the Accord, Camry, and Malibu, I chose the Sonata because I liked it better, regardless of price (even though price was lower). The cabin is very nice and I do not feel as though Ive downgraded from my previous Lexus. My initial estimates have me getting around 29mpg with about 50/50 city/hwy driving. Although some people seem to take issue with the steering/handling of the Sonata, I love it. I drive soft and easy, so the car matches my driving well

  One Year review - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By Gary D. - August 8 - 4:43 am

  I have now owned this vehicle for 1 year with 20k and it hasnt had so much as a hiccup. What originally sold me, apart from the price and warranty was the interior and trunk size, (large), and the level of comfort, usually only felt with leather upgraded interior. I love all the thoughtful little upgrades which are standard, such as the 3 nozzle window sprayer, the above visor lit vanities lights, and beautiful interior stack. I have been averaging 31 mpg on regular, and honestly, I hardly miss my G35(only off the ramps and when I feel a little crazy), or its 20 mpg with super. My wife now likes to take it whenever she can and everyone who rides with me is quite impressed.

  Great Value, Excellent Car - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By Jordo - July 22 - 1:16 am

  The only complaint I have is the fuel door doesnt open very well. Also during the break in period the transmission shifted rough. Now transmission is starting to shift smoother.

  I didnt buy a Supercar - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By 1stxhyundaiowner - July 16 - 11:26 pm

  I like my car. I didnt buy a super car so it doesnt get 10s for "performance" or "fun to drive", etc. Ive had this car a little over a year and never regretted it. Ive averaged 26 mpg in mixed driving. It has a nice ride and the handling is fine. Seats are comfortable even on long trips. It has a roomy feel to it too. I put three kids in the back seat and they do fine. Plenty of trunk space too. I had a squeak in the dash when I went on rough roads that lasted for about a month but then it disappeared. It also gets a little noisier on rough roads but still feels solid. I have strangers ask me about it in parking lots which Ive never had before.

  What A Vaule - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By ZeusCharles - May 23 - 5:50 pm

  Big car size. Comfortable Ride. Appealing Interior. Decent 4 cyclinder performance. Attractive Dash. Huge trunk. No matter how I worked the numbers I could not justify a Malibu, Accord, or Camry. At least it is assembled in America with 50% U.S. parts. Yes depreciation is tougher, but 60,000 bumper to bumper warranty and $3000 less all up front more than makes up for it since I drive cars to over 100,000.

  Hyundai Sonata The Winner - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By RocketScientist - May 16 - 2:16 pm

  Just purchased after reviewing and test driving the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord. My impressions: Solid well built car, great amenities, nice ride. Before buying I read the reviews about the car being a rattle-trap on bumpy roads, well my driveway is about 150 yards of dirt washboard and the car didnt rattle excessively while traversing it. Yes with the very tight suspension you can feel the road irregularities, the car however never feels out of control. And it really feels and sounds solid. My other car is a Merc-Benz S420 and the sounds in the driveway are comparable. I would recommend this car to anyone needing reliable basic transportation at a value price. Paid $200 under invoice.

  To replace 98 chev lumina - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By DARRYL - April 27 - 10:40 pm

  Just took a 2500 mile vac trip and had good millage thru out. Total ave. was about 29 mpg. I was disappointed with the harsh suspension due to the narrow profile tires it has. You do feel every pot hole. The drivers seat should have more back travel for leg clearance to exit from the car. The arm rest could extend forward a little farther for comfort. The blue trip scan gauge is very hard to read when lights are not used during the day and it is real bright out side. Color should be either orange or green. Slight hesitation on acceleration is very annoying.

  After Testing Servral Autos - 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  By BrianMac - April 1 - 3:43 pm

  I test drove 7 autos in this category and nothing came close to the comfort or the ride quality or the PRICE. We have the Limited V6 with everything but GPS. I kept reading reviews that the handling was all that great, our other car is a Avalon and I fail to see the difference. I researched this car for three years while comparing it to others and price/feature wise nothing comes close. Large trunk and well shaped with fold down rear seats, some have a pass thru.
