| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Paid sticker price less $2,000 rebate. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Same price can only get me a average or less than average featured Civic or Corolla. Toyota and Honda both refused to provided payment plan due to not enough history, Hyundai just picked me up right away. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
The Elantra is about $4000-$6000 less than a comparable vehicle from Japanese car makers. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Cash 4 clunkers got me to look. Consumer Reports rated #1. 1st looked @ Civic,Corola. Had better head room w/sunroof, best warranty, best price, Best brakes, towing capacity, interior room. I NEVER thought Elantra, EVER, Now I take it out, "just 4 a ride" |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Best small car for the money right now. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
I got a no haggle price. I just called the dealership, told the salesperson my price, and the cash deal(at my price) was complete in about 3 hours of my phone call. |

very cheap for what you get |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
A lot of bang for the buck! |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
The Hyundai cost less money out-the-door than a Civic without air-conditioning or a corolla without anti-lock brakes. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
See above. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Price was about $17k. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
2008 Elantra SE seemed to offer a lot of value for money; with the features I now have, I would have paid a lot more money with a Civic, Corolla or some other option. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
great value compared to other vehicles. |

| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Rebate allowed this car to be had, including extended warrantyu if desired, for about $1000 less than most comparable Totyate Corolla LE. Honda was no where near close ($3000 more). |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Good price/value |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Considering all the features that came with the car, plus the cost of operating, and insuring the car, the Elantra is an economical car. |
| 2005 | 4dr Hatch 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Great price at the time for the size of vehicle |

$4000-5000 less than any US or Japanese of equal options and size. |

Best bang for the buck! Car comes fully loaded at a reasonable price |
| 2002 | 4dr Hatch 140-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Used Elantras are quite cheap. Any car of the same year/size/class with the same features/options would cost significantly more. |
What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Hyundai Sonata
| Price of the Hyundai Sonata: Pros | ||

| 2011 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 274hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Currently a good lease deal on the sport version with turbo. |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Very competitively priced. I saved $3000 when compared to a camry or accord with similiar features. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 249-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
0 |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Compared to the Accord or Camry, the Sonata cost considerably less even though it has a longer list of standard features. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Best car for the money. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 249-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Best bang for your $$$. Test drove comparable Accord and Camry and they were at least $2000 higher with less options. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Cheep car. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 249-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Always great incenstives. 0% financing or cash back. That combined with the low price to begin with, hard to beat. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 249-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Price is 2-5K lower for comperable competitors, Malibu, Toyota, etc |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 249-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Heavy dealer discounting gets you a fully loaded 6 cyl. Sonata Limited at the same price as a base 4 cyl. Accord or Camry. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
This car currently has the lowest price point for a mid size car with the electronic stability control, front, side and curtain front and rear air bags all standard. A 5 year 60,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty and 10 year 100,000 mile warranty too. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 162-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Its price was lower than comparable sedans for the features that the Sonata offers. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 162-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Cost less than the camry and in my mind just as good if not better |

bought used, paid cash, cheap to own, excellent value |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 162-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
For Mid size car this was the best price |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 162-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
I bought mine at a dealer auction, repo, 11270 miles, for ~ 60% of what a new one would have cost. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 234-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
For all of the standard features on the SE, such as V6, fog lights, 17in wheels, ESC, and side airbags, there is no greater value out there. I feel like I own a $30K car for only $20K. After the rebate, I was out less than some base model cars. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 234-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
3-$5000 cheaper then competitve offerings from Honda, Toyota and Nissan. |

Many safety features (airbag, vehicle stability control) standard resulting in substantial savings |

It was 5k less than an Accord, what else is there to add. |

0% financing |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 235-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2011 | 4dr Sedan 198-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Dealer was not willing to negotiate at all. Such is often the problem with a brand new model that is high in demand. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Too expensive for what they represent (cheap and low class) |
