Pros: Great value quotient, unbeatable warranty
Cons: Unrefined automatic transmission, uncomfy seats, cheap looking front fascia
How time changes things! It wasn't too long ago when Hyundai was the laughing stock of the automobile industry. Even when the Sonata made its debut in 1989, not many noticed. Today, it's a whole new ballgame. The Sonata is making itself known among...

Non-car enthusiasts have confused the car I bought for my husband as an Infiniti! "When did Infiniti start making those? Which model is it?" "Aw, it looks like a baby Infiniti! A Hyundai?!? Stop kidding around!" I purchased his...

Pros: Cool Looks, Good Interiors
Cons: The long term maintenance
The Bottom Line: I think the Sonata is a good car but I feel that the Honda Accord is better than this.
HI Guys
I am writing about the New Hyundai Sonata (2001) which is launched in India just a few weeks back with a price tag of 30,000 USD (INR 14,00,000). I went and saw the car at the new showroom and it is really cool car after one looks at...

Pros: Great Customer Service, Affordable, SAFE, Roomy
Cons: None
After my husband and I were fortunate to get the 12,000 dollars we needed to pay off our loan to Mitsubishi to get RID of the Eclipse GS-T that we'd been buying (see my epinion on it as to why we got rid of it), we got a Hyundai Sonata 2000.

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Inexpensive alternative to the Big Dogs (Camry & Accord), gas mileage, interior dimensions
Cons: Hyundai appeal, fit-and-finish
The Bottom Line: If you cannot afford the Camry or Accord, this is the car to look at. Keep it on your list.
Wifey-poo and I decided to take a week and head to Vegas in March '01, and after some deliberation, figured we would rent a car for the whole week. Since I had been in Vegas before and knew my way around, I though it would be wise to avoid the high taxi...

She is my dream car. Not only does she look beautiful, but runs like a charm! Went to the Hyundai dealer to check out the Elantra Wagon, but when I sat in the Sonata GLS the male concept of referring to a car as a "she" became very clear...

Pros: styling, quiet, price, warranty
Cons: suspension could be better
The Hyundai Sonata GLS V6 is a great value. The quality and workmanship of the 99/00 model year has greatly improved--it is the best car Hyundai has built. Otherwise, I wouldn't buy a Sonata older than '99. I love the exterior styling (as compared to...

The Bottom Line: Try it. Hyundai has been redeemed.
Oh, how I hesitated to give up the solid and reliable 1996 Mazda Protege for a......Hyundai!? The minute I signed the papers and forked over the keys to my Mazda, a sinking feeling in my gut told me what a fool I was. But, 10 months and 10,000 miles...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: price and of course, warranty!
Cons: back seat doesn't fold down for transporting stuff
The Bottom Line: There's no other way to get these features on a new car at this price anywhere else - with the safety ratings.
After looking into SEVERAL different vehicle options I found myself at the Hyundai dealers taking a quick test drive of the Ellantra. The Ellantra is a nice looking car but when I brought my husband back with me to test drive it, the Sonata caught his ...

Pros: Smooth motor, comfortable cruiser, good (initial) value.
Cons: Transmission, questionable durability, road noise, and some ergonomic omissions.
The Bottom Line: Good car for the money new, but I wouldn't trust it like some other makes after a few seasons.
Wife and I bought this car 4 years and it was a demo with 7,000 miles on it. I was initially impressed by smooth engine, decent power, and up to date controls. For what we got, I still think it is a good value. However, after living with it a while, I ...

Cons: Maintenance Problems Out Weighing The Benefits of Buying This 2000 Sonata Vehicle Used.
The Bottom Line: I RECOMMEND YOU TAKE
THIS CAR TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC ESP THE TIMING BELT
Driving experience The car handles fine even at high speeds and is not sloppy. Acceleration is pretty good for a 4cyl but beware of braking it takes a lot longer distance then expected to stop. It does handle most road bumps with minimum impact but ...

Pros: Good value, reliable
Cons: NO INDICATOR TO REMIND YOU TO TURN OFF HEADLIGHTS,

The Bottom Line: I would recommend the vehicle. It is a reliable ride. Remember the headlights.
Purchased the car new. I have the V6 GLS. Been very reliable over the past 4 years. Has some power, but the transmission limits the smoothness of acceleration. There have been some recalls. There was an oxygen sensor recalled. There was also ...

What's NOT to like?
After getting over the shock of the biggest lemon weve ever owned ('95 Ford Contour) my wife and i went car shopping.
For us the cars warranty was a very big issue.
And Hyundai has one that is second to none.
What suprized us was that for...

My brother recently purchased a 2000 Hyundai Sonata. I was quite surprised that my brother purchased a foreign car let alone a Hyundai since I am die-hard fan of big American luxury cars, especially Cadillacs.
I must say that Hyundai has come...
