I bought this vehicle used six years ago. It now has about 130,000 miles on it, and it has been a very reliable car overall. For the price we paid, I've been very pleased. It is comfortable to ride in, has plenty of leg room and trunk space, and has a nice set of features for a car that is now eight years old. It also gets great fuel economy. We've had to invest minimally in repairs over the years, and some of the issues were probably my fault (e.g. we had to get the ignition replaced because I had too many heavy items hanging from my key ring). As it's getting older, some of the features have begun to wear out, such as the interior gas tank release switch and the windshield washer pump, but these are not essential items for me, and I've just opted not to fix them. I feel very safe driving this car, and I love that the purchase price was reasonable enough that we were able to pay off the car loan a year ago, and I still feel like I will be happy to drive it for a few more years. Bottom line: While it's nothing fancy, it's been a great car for the price, and I would definitely consider purchasing a Sonata again for my next vehicle.

My mother and I were looking for a car to buy.
