Overall, I have been super pleased with this car. It is very fuel-efficient, smooth and quiet ride up until recently. It's a 13-year-old car, and it already has some creaks and squeaks within the last couple years. The audio system is pleasing, good sound for factory system. A comfortable ride with enough adjustable ability to the seats. This would be back and forward and up and down as well. The seat back can lean, plus has a lumbar support adjustment too. With my spinal issues, this is very good. All controls are easily accessed, as well as having volume and mode audio controls on the steering wheel. I also liked the middle console gear shift (automatic with a auto-shift option). This helped to keep the steering column uncluttered, plus easier control over changing gears. For what I need it for, a daily driver, the engine power was more than sufficient. Again, probably contributing to it's fuel-efficiency, the four-cylinder engine was perfect. Since becoming disabled, not driving anywhere often, I was usually able to fill up the car with gas only once a month.

The Hyundai Sonata is a great car, and while it's not a sports car by any means, it does offer more than meets the eye. It's comfortable and has a number of great features while also offering some benefits that one might not expect. With more power than its competitors, the car provides a great driving experience while also making the driver feel comfortable and in control. An all around great car, it also has the reliability of an Asian car that one would expect.
