Fluid Sculpture Compelte Success — The Car drives very well, the build quality is awesome, the fuel economy very very good. The new 2.4l GDI is very smooth, great power. The interior is gorgeous, and the equipment very well thought out. Worth alot more than what they ask for. The looks of the Lexus, and the payments of a Hyundai , what a combo.

Great Overall Car For The Money — Overall, this car drives great. Was very affordable. Good on gas. Also seems to hold the corners very well, and has good acceleration The safety systems on this car also work very well. The technology in his car is also very easy to use. The Bluetooth system links up well with your phone and it's easy to use

Its A Great Car. Period. — My family decided to get a Hyundai. We loved the look of the Sonata. We bought it for a fairly low price. It has great handling and wonderful styling. Hyundai has really stepped it up in the last few years.

Sonata 2011 — Not a bad all around car, this is the first full size sedan i have owned and so far i must say its impressed me, i do miss the cargo of the SUV however the trunk space is suprisingly large for its size. and can handle quite the load

This Is An Amazing Car! — I'm so impressed that Hyundai has upped their game so much with the new Sonata. No longer is Hyundai synonymous with low quality. The 2011 Sonata is the full package on a budget! I couldn't be more pleased with it's features and it's style.

Great Value — Great styling and comfortable for large and small drivers. After 45,000 miles, still running well and great fuel economy. Huge trunk space. Most other cars I researched in this price range did not have the nice appointments. I hope to keep this car for another 100,000 miles.
