Owners rave about the amount of car they got for their money with the 2012 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid, especially the amount of power the powertrain produces. Several owners remark how well the Sonata Hybrid handles freeway driving, with plenty of acceleration when needed. Others mention how smooth the Sonata Hybrid rides, with minimal exterior noises creeping in. City driving takes a little getting used to, however, as a couple of owners note that the Sonata Hybrid remains in EV (Electric Vehicle) mode when stopped in traffic, and it takes a couple of seconds for the gas engine to reconnect. The use of the lighter 270-volt lithium polymer battery as opposed to the nickel-metal hybride battery pack found in competing hybrid sedans help the Sonata Hybrid achieve better horsepower and torque figures, as well as hold a charge longer. Additionally, the use of a regular automatic transmission rather than a continuously variable automatic transmission makes the Sonata Hybrid more fun to drive and helps it achieve better fuel mileage than some competitive hybrids.
