  • Just Say Yes - 2011 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    All I can say is that Hyundai has really impressed me. I never thought I would purchase a Hyundai because of all the negative comments I read on the previous models. I traded in my 2010 Toyota Camry XLE V6 and to my surprise it drives the same to me. I really enjoy looking at my car and driving it. Dont take our word for, just go in and test drive one.

  • What a Car! - 2011 Hyundai Sonata

    I took delivery of a red Sonata SE 2011 3 months ago and Im very impressed with it. Looks terrific, does everything well and beyond, great gas mileage, very comfortable. It doesnt get any better even at much higher price.

  • Love this Car - 2011 Hyundai Sonata

    I get stopped all the time and asked what kind of car I have. I used to have a Genesis and everyone loved that car too. Hyundai makes great cars.

  • Great Car to Drive - 2011 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    Purchased the 2011 Sonata GLS with Navigation package and upgraded stereo system. The car is fun to drive with great handling, great lexus like ride and roomy interior. Hyundai has scored a home run with the design and performance, great gas mileage and interior dash design. The Dimension stereo system has only average speakers and should be improved. Otherwise, i am pleased with the vehicle for a great price under 25K. It is hard to get a better car with all the features of the 2011 Sonata for under 25K.

  • Some good things some bad - 2011 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    While most of my Sonata experience is good some things I dont like 1) When starting the car when the engine is cold I believe there is excessive noise, have told the dealer about it had them come out to my house so they could start it cold. They tell me its the fuel pump and the noise is normal. 2) The site lines to the rear are terrible. 3) The horn sounds like a bike horn. 4) I have owned the car for just over a year and I got aprox. 27mpg for the first 6500 miles. Since then mpg has gone down to aprox. 24 mpg. I have talked to the dealer about it but they tell me there are no error codes and ???.Overall I like the car but dont think Id buy another.

  • Terrific Car - 2011 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    Bought the Sonata GLS a month and 1500 miles ago after test driving the Milan and Malibu. The basic trim with the convenience package is all most people will need. Excellent build quality and its a real eye catcher. Gobs of interior room front and back, with a very large trunk - yet the car doesnt look big from the outside. How do they do that?? This car competes favorably with any sedan in the midsize market, for less money.

  • Limited pulls Left !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - 2011 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    I wish I had done more research on the]is car before I bought it. The car constantly pulls to the left and it has been to the dealer three times for repair. The dealer acts as if they have never heard of this problem, but search the internet and it is everywhere. I am filing a Lemon Law complaint.

  • Quality is suspect - 2011 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    I bought this car after two other Hyundais with VERY high hopes. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed. From the moment I took delivery, the infamous glove box squeak. Rattles, out of place trim pieces, and other ungodly noises from everywhere. With upgraded audio, doors rattle at volume. Ride is EXTREMELY rough in this vehicle at all trim levels. The positive? It does extremely well in an an accident. I rear-ended a girl going nearly 40 miles per hour; the airbag deployed and the front-end crumpled exactly as designed. I walked away with ZERO injuries; not even a scratch. Those that have come to appreciate Hyundais value-oriented quality will be disappointed by this car.

  • Looks like a Lexus for half the price - 2011 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    I had walked into the dealer intent on purchasing a genesis coupe and drove out with the 2011 Sonata. Quiet smooth refined ride rated at 35 mpg hwy and a gorgeous exterior coupled with thoughtfully designed interior. Standard built in blue tooth to make and receive calls, power lumbar support for the back, best warranty in the business, 5 years roadside assistance that you dont pay extra for like toyoguard 699 for 3 yrs. puhleeez. peppy 4 cyl engine with direct fuel injection beautiful digital trip displays. I love this car and my 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe limited if you need something larger

  • excellent family sedan - 2011 Hyundai Sonata
    By -

    The car is of surprising quality. The new 4 cylinder engine is smooth and quiet - more power than needed on most occasions. The styling is exceptional. The car seems as large as our E Class Mercedes at half the cost. Our next buy? Hyundai of course!
