Overall it has been a great first car for me. It's reliable and has been able to travel long distances numerous times. It gets good gas mileage and is roomy and able to fit a lot of stuff in it with leg room to spare. I would recommend this to anyone but especially someone who is looking for a reliable car to travel to places in. It handles very well and is relatively quiet. For me traveling to and from school a lot reliability was the number one thing and I felt confident that my car would be able to get me from a to b without any major problems or repairs.

The 2003 Hyundai Sonata is an amazing car. It runs great and is very reliable. The car has 120000 miles on it and it still runs perfect. At first it was an A to B car. Get from work to home and nothing else. For the price of $500 this car drives from town to town with out a problem. 40 miles a day and rarely have to put gas in it. Breaks are a little rough and I've heard similar problems with other Sonata owners. Overall I definitely got my money's worth with this car. It's cheap and very reliable.
