My parents bought a 2012 gray Sonata for me when I was 16 and needed something to drive to high school and to my sports practices. What I first liked about it is that it has a sleek design. It looks very cool, and the dark gray color was a perfect color to be cool in high school. I loved the interior of the car. It had a flat and smooth fabric that was comfortable, opposed to something like leather. One "nugget" is that in Minnesota it gets freezing cold in the winter. I loved the heated seats that get warm super fast and would save my life.

I wouldn't hesitate to buy another. I've had this car since April of 2013. I purchased it used with 35k miles. It currently has 155k miles and I haven't had any major issues. Outside of routine maintenance, I have only had to replace the radiator around 120k miles. It gets great gas mileage. It can comfortably seat five, which is great for a regular sedan. It also has a lot of trunk space for storage. It comes with a CD player, Bluetooth, and usb connection to the radio so that you can connect your favorite mp3/music device. The hands free option for calls is my most-used feature during long commutes. While you wont be winning any drag races this is an excellent family car with lots of room to store whatever you may be traveling with.
