Positive Review
I get 32 mpg winter and 37-39 mpg summer. With all the room I need being 6'5" my wife 6'2" and my 18 year girl at 6'1" best leg room and hip room really room for 5 adults. Also I can drive 575-610 per tank. It is a little buzzy with concrete roads.

Critical Review
At 17,000 miles I have almost completely bald tires on my 2011 Hyundai Sonata that I purchased brand new. This was caused by a tracking issue which has been recalled by Hyundai. However, Hyundai states that it is not caused by their tracking issue, and that it is my fault for "lack of maintenance". All maintenance was performed on this car per manufacturers standards, but Hyundai still states that it is my fault, not theirs. Hyundai brags up their fantastic warranty, but then they don't stand by their vehicle at all. I would not recommend any Hyundai vehicle to anyone.

Reliable and comfortable
Don’t lock keys in trunk without having extra tools on hand …it’ll be on lockdown down like Fort Knox
I bought my car over 10yrs ago… I’ve taken care of maintenance and it has been the most reliable car I’ve ever owned to date thus far. I’ve driven it across the country 5 times along with regional driving. Just don’t lock your keys in the trunk bc it’ll be on lockdown like Fort Knox : /
Shopping to find a car for my daughter and came across this 2011 Hyundai Sonata with only 38k miles. It was in my price range and contacting owner was easy.
Very spacious. Decent mpg.
Automatic door lock/unlock buttons didn't work
This car was very dependable for me. Bought one used with 70k miles in Jan 20'. Drove that I felt a decent amount for 4 years, put 50k miles on and had no major issues. Had to replace the battery once, couple tires, regular oil changes. I did have to have the alignment adjusted due to some vibrating but can't say this issue derailed my ownership experience. Worth the money if you don't care to much for what the car looks like. Only moving on since mine was rear ended on the freeway. Would recommend to a friend.
Absolutely nothing
EVERYTHING
I got this car used back in June 2023. In July 2023 the engine completely seized on me. Hyundai replaced it and I got a new engine in August. 4 months later the engine fails on me again. Nothing but issues and headaches from this car. -100/10
Top of line everything
None
Last time I checked, the value of this used car was 21K. Now, it is less than 5K. What's the reason?
Leather seats, turbo, sunroof, fuel mileage
Paint is peeling
I bought my 2013 Sonata in 2016. I love the turbo, leather seats, and sunroof. It had 65,000 miles when I bought it. It now has 155,000 miles. I’ve taken it in for regular oil changes and safety recalls. The only issue I e had with it is the white paint has started peeling up on my trunk and on other little spots. From what I’ve read, many people with white Sonatas have this problem.
Comfort quick and reliable
None yet
I bought used to 3 years ago with 14500 miles. Three years later 39k. Never had 1 problem. Had a recall re.timing issue. Now has lifetime longblock warranty. Love this car
