Everything fits perfectly. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 249-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
At indicated in the professional reviews, the interior/ exterior is well appointed with quality materials and excellent fit and finish. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
This car has a solid feel to it. And the doors sound a bit like a European sedan when I shut them. I nice reassuring sound from an inexpensive asian built car. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Dashboard is not plastic but a synthetic plastic for enhanced feel. Door arm rests well planned out. easy to feel for window and mirror controls. Best middle compartment with iPod hookup. Multiple areas for storage. Impressive audio and audio controls. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 162-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Our Sonota looks and feels like a quality car. I have yet to hear any kind of a rattle or squeak on our winter ravished road. The paint is perfect. Doors close with a solid thunk. We have had the car for about 2 months & no problems with anything. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 162-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
soft-touch materials, low-gloss instrument panel |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 234-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Excellent value for the price |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 162-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
The car is built solid. We have put 19,000 miles on it since the first of the year (2008)and it still feels like it did the day we bought it new. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 162-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
I have had the car approximately 1.5 years now and it is still as solid as the day I drove it off the lot. I recently had to have body work done due to stone chips, I had a 2009 Mitsubishi Gallant and was horrible...sounded like a go-kart..no comparison |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 162-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Overall, pretty GOOD! |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 235-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
it sits like a luxury car with comfortable leather seats and soft plastics in all the right places. No squeaks or rattles in almost 40,000 miles. |
| 2002 | 4dr Sedan 149-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Just after I tried other cars (mazda, nissan, GM) I realized how good is interior material. |
| Materials and Workmanship of the Hyundai Sonata: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2011 | 4dr Sedan 198-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Controls felt a bit cheap, cheap plastics. |
| 2011 | 4dr Sedan 198-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Cheap interior plastic, like a toyota camry, not as good as the accord. |
| 2011 | 4dr Sedan 200-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
cheap plastic feel. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Periodic "Rice Krispies" effect from the dash as cabin temperature warms. Materials are vastly improved from the 2008 model, but dash material seemingly expands as the cabin warms to room temperature...it ceases once room temperature is reached. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Cheap and low class. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Still some minor fit and finish issues which Hyundai needs to work on. Noticed that the body joints under the car were never coated with undercoating like the rest of the chassis. This is something one would not see on a Toyota or Honda. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 249-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Vents go snap/crackle/pop while flexing in temperatures. Noisy plastic bits from the dash, rumbling rear suspension. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 162-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
a few rattles on dash and door. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 235-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
not sure; this Sonata is US assembled so time will tell whether or not it will stand the test of time compared to Asian built models |

| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 264-horsepower 3.8L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Very surprising interior materials for a Kia. I feel like I am sitting in a much more expensive vehicle than I am. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 264-horsepower 3.8L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Perfect , Was going to buy a Lincoln town car, this is much less but you dont spend the money , No need just as good if not better |
