Pros: Interior, Exterior, Warranty, Price.
Cons: ABS is only optional, Base engine.
The Bottom Line: Mechanically not the V6 Accord or Camry's match, but with a lower price, tons of standard equipment, the 2002 Sonata GLS V6 is recommended 100%.
Since the Hyundai Sonata's infamous introduction in the '80s one would think this car would have been dropped long, long ago, but alas it is now 2002 and the Hyundai Sonata is not only still here, it is better than ever. The 2002 Sonata competes very...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes
Pros: Affordable, Redesigned and better inside and outside; manufacturer's guarantee and anti-roll bar
Cons: None
The Bottom Line: If Honda and Toyota are above your economic means, Hyundai will equip you with a new, affordable car in the Sonata.
Spring is the time of the year to be out of the house. It's all the period of the year we spend more money on fuel for our vehicles. If there are a few happy people around, car dealers will see a throng of people checking their vehicles out....

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Great Ride, Lots of Features, Low Price
Cons: V6 could use more power
The Bottom Line: One of the best bargains on the road, the 2002 Sonata should be on anyone's list when shopping for mid-size sedans. Luxury beyond its price!
These are truly the glory day of automobiles. Today’s cars are more powerful, faster, safer, better built and better looking than ever before. Even the highly touted muscle cars of the 50s and 60s can’t hold a candle to modern passenger cars in terms of...

Pros: great price, nice ride & level of comfort, good reputation
Cons: None!
The Bottom Line: You really can't beat this car or Hyundai, in general. I am really very happy!
Let me begin by giving a little background. I have had my Sonata for almost three years. I purchased it in May 2002, as a new car. At the time I was making my decision, I did my research. It impressed me most that the base model came with niceties ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: roomy, quiet, good to look at, low maintenance
Cons: could use a little more pick up
The Bottom Line: Great car for the basics and a little beyond. Details make the difference!
Okay, so I bought this vehicle when I was broke and after my ex husband turned my previous car (Mercury Tracer) into a high maintenance hunk of junk. Sorry all Ford Motor products, you'll never see me again!
I did as much research as I could...

Pros: attractive styling, smooth engine, warranty
Cons: none at this time
The Bottom Line: Can any other manufacturer provide this quality for such a low price?
I went car hunting one Saturday afternoon with my girlfriend to find her a potential car. After test driving Civics and even a base Camaro, we walked over to the Hyundai area of the dealership. We had heard about a big savings deal that was going on at...

Pros: Lots of bang for the buck, stylish, fantastic warranty
Cons: Resale value
The Bottom Line: Considering price, styling, warranty and performance the 2002 Hyundai Sonata packs a lot of bang for the buck.
It’s the classic problem, you want a nice car but you don’t have a pile of money. What do you do? Answer: Go see your local Hyundai dealer and ask him about the 2002 Sonata.
After visiting the major line dealerships in this medium sized...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Handling, comfort, quality of interior design and finish. Almost a "driver's" car.
Cons: Mileage on the V6 not great. Engine noise louder than I would like.
The Bottom Line: One of the best in almost any respect.
After reading reviews on this board I bought a V6 Sonata used from Hertz (an excellent source of quality, fairly priced used cars) with 24,000 miles on it for $11,500. My first impression on the test drive was that this was a serious, well-designed and ...

Pros: Style, Speed, Interior, MPG, safety, tires, remote trunk release
Cons: small spare tire...
The Bottom Line: Our initial quote was 17,995 we paid $17,000. If you check sites like (www.edmunds.com)- $17,174 is the "True Market Value" for a Sonata GLS with a moon roof.
I found myself test-driving the brand new, refined and redesigned 2002 Hyundai Sonata. And I loved it, this is my 2nd hyundai product in 2 years, I also own an 2001 Elantra.
Get the v6 no matter what ! The 4 cylinder was slow... I'm 21 years...

Pros: Handling, warranty, looks, price
Cons: ? Perhaps the traditional antenna needs to go.
The Bottom Line: Take it out for a drive, if you like what it looks like and how it drives chances are you'll love this car.
I purchased my Hyundai Sonata in July of 2002. Someone smashed my 1997 Toyota Camry while it was parked on the street and I needed to replace it. Being Toyota faithful it was difficult to consider a Korean made product. As I shopped around for what my ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Style, safety features, price, just about everything. luxury and style made affordable!
Cons: shiftronic not all it COULD be, V6 isnt either.
The Bottom Line: I highly recomend it. probably the best overall car out there for the price. affordable luxury like this is rare.
UPDATE October 7, 2004: I have this car to about 15000 miles now, the shiftronic issues i mentioned below really arent as much of a problem as I thought they would be in the beginning. the car has never broken down or refused to start, even at 50+ below ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Affordability, style, performance
Cons: none?
The Bottom Line: Hyundai has greatly improved on their quality in cars and backs them with the best warranty. Price+looks+warranty=a great car!
I was in the market for a new, dependable car at the end of 2001. I had to find something affordable, though, because I had a large rollover of negative equity in my trade-in. I loved the new line of body styles that Hyundai was coming out with. The...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: No 
Pros: Quiet, comfortable, feature-laden, stately appearance
Cons: Highly unreliable
The Bottom Line: Absolutely avoid this car. It will be great for the first year or so, but after that Hyundai's fall apart.
I purchased a 2002 Hyundai Sonata GLX approximately a year and a half ago. For the first six months, I was impressed - a very smart vehicle, good looking, quiet and stately. After the first six months, that's when the problems started to surface. ...
