Well designed, well built car. Even the base model comes with the most desirable features. I like the digital connectivity and the abundance of power outlets. The steering wheel controls are very well laid out and easy to use. The trunk is quite large, with a sizable pass-through when the back seat is laid down. The rear seat leg room is less than I find comfortable; but I am six feet four inches tall. The gas mileage is reasonably good. The Bluetooth connectivity is very easy to set up and to use. Storage in the middle console is amazing, providing several separate compartments for various sized items and quick access to items such as writing utensils, change, CDs, et cetera. As far as the overall technology included in this vehicle, the one feature that I personally find to be virtually useless it the BlueLink system. After the first year of ownership, the features become way to expensive to retain (in my personal opinion). But this minor aspect is easily overlooked with consideration of the industry leading bumper-to-bumper warranty.

The 2008 Hyundai Sonata is a good car...for the first few years. Reliable, dependable, and well-running, this car offers good bang for your buck so long as you are willing to put up with some slight manufacturing defects and rising maintenance costs in later life.
