Used Hyundai Sonata for Sale in Sacramento, CA

Overall, the Sonata is a low-priced, reliable family car. I have owned this car for two years now and it has given me nothing but an enjoyable experience overall. Other cars in the market tend to offer less for more, and it seems that this car is overlooked more than it should be. I would highly recommend this car, as its low price and decent quality make it a great overall buy for almost any family.

Story

I have taken quiet a few road trips so far in my Sonata, and every time we try to fit more and more stuff into it since we always try to prepare for anything. So far, it has always had more than enough space for our family of three, and sometimes with room to spare!

Pros

The Sonata I own gets 35 mpg highway, and 32 mpg city with a 186 horsepower four cylinder engine. The exterior design is appealing, and I do think the design stands out in among the other cars in the market today. It has a spacious and relatively quiet interior, and can easily seat up to five adults. The interior design is also well thought out, with plenty of cup holders and a great stereo. In addition, ride quality is smooth and not too firm over regular, as well as rougher, terrain.

Cons

Although the seats in the Sonata are durable, they are not very comfortable, and after a long trip can really take a toll on the passengers. Also, the four cylinder engine's acceleration is pretty lackluster, and merging or overtaking requires some effort. In addition, the transmission is another slight problem, as shifts are not as crispy as desired and take a little preparation under hard acceleration.

2011 Hyundai Sonata - Reliable and safe low to mid-range car

The 2011 Sonata has been a very reliable and dependable vehicle. It was one of the vehicles to adopt the new liquid metal styling that has sweeping lines that make the car appear sleek. As far as reliability goes, after owning it for five years and driving about 8,000 miles annually, with regular maintenance, there has been no significant mechanical issues aside from having to replace the battery twice.

Story

I was so tired one day when parking the car that I hit the front of the car against the wall (at a very slow speed). Luckily there was almost zero damage to the front bumper.

Pros

It comes with the basic minimum necessities but leaves much to be desired. It has built-in XM satellite radio so if you purchase a subscription, you will be able to use it. It has Bluetooth built-in so you can play music and use your phone, and it will be helpful for navigation. Additionally it has a USB port, so you can plug a USB drive with music and play from there. The music is organized by folders on your USB drive. Convenient controls are on the steering wheel itself. The rear-view mirror and left side view mirror help with visibility at night. The side view mirrors are also heated. ... (more)

Cons

The gas mileage is moderate. It performs best on the highway but, in the city, it may drop to the low to mid 20 mpg. The acceleration is somewhat slow, and the car is quite long/large.
