(Please excuse some of the spacing in this review. I do not know if it is an epinions bug, or that of the computer I am using)
Honestly, I am a Honda fan! We have owned more Hondas than I have fingers and toes, and currently have a 1998 Accord...

Pros: Loaded for a car in this price range. Cons: V6/Automatic transmission performance, fit and finish. Bland and forgettable. The Bottom Line: In the today's broad car market, The Sonata is A new kind of Hertz staple; Stay out of the bargain bin when it comes to car shopping.
Every now and then one of those cars comes along. A car so underwhelming that it hurts, and one that posesses a driving experience so bland and dull that you forget about it mere moments after exiting the car. True, it could be any of the many ...

Pros: The look, the ride, the price! Cons: ~none~ The Bottom Line: What can I say, you will be riding in style and you wont break the bank. What more could you ask for.
I have been driving my 2001 Hyundai Sonata for 5 months now, and have gotten to know it pretty darn well. I am now going to venture into uncharted territory in writing a review on an automobile.
I did a lot of research on this car before my...

Pros: Great power, fuel efficient, maneuverable and stylish Cons: Cramped in the back for adults The Bottom Line: This car appears to be an excellent buy. It's quiet on the road, comfortable and gets 20 to 28 mpg.
My wife and I went shopping a car to replace her excellent 1997 Ford Taurus that has 125,000 miles on it. We were looking at Intrepids, Taurus', Accords and Camreys when a stylish looking vehicle we'd never even been in caught our attention. It was a...

Pros: Value and Quality Cons: 4-wheel discs and ABS not standard equipment
My wife and I started out to buy a sub-compact that she and our daughter with her newly minted driver's license could share. Our minds soon changed however when we visited the Hyundai dealership to look at the Elantra, their entry into the sub-compact...

Pros: affordable, well built, excellent warranty, long list of standard features Cons: trunk a little on the small side The Bottom Line: The 2001 Hyundai is an excellent car. Well built and well equipped, the Sonata provides an excellent ride that should please even the fussiest of drivers.
"Hyundai???? Ewwwww!!!" That is the response I got from almost every person who found out that I had purchased one. Well I am here to tell you that I now have those people eating their words after letting them drive the car.
Hyundai, I am...

Pros: Value for money, too many to list Cons: No CD player on base model, ABS only as option on V6 The Bottom Line: A fantastic value, and darn nice cars.
I am currently in the market for a second mid-size sedan, to replace my 1997 Nissan Sentra and supplement my wife's 2001 Saturn L-200. In shopping around, of course I am comparing everything to the Saturn we purchased in January, as well as the...

Pros: Enough power to send V6 pony cars packing. Reliable and comfortable. Cons: Exterior paint may chip from plastic parts, suspension is soft (some may like this) The Bottom Line: Buy one if you plan to keep it for a while. A ten year warranty can do no wrong.
Our family has had a 01 Sonata GLS from 2001 to late 2005 when it was totalled. Here are the strong points: The 2.5L DOHC V6 is an incredible powerplant. The engine revs freely to 6500 RPM and sounds great in the process. With the automatic, the ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Great Price, Great Gas Mileage, Sporty, Driver Side Area is very big, best warranty around Cons: Back seats a little cramped, radio stinks, runs a bit loud at 40+ MPH The Bottom Line: I would recommend this car to anyone looking to spend less than $13,000 on a new car.
In my recent search for a new car, I heard alot of really good things about Honda's...particularly the Accords. Some quotes, "You'll get 150,000 miles easily"..."They are very roomy". Well, for me, those are 2 very important issues. First, I have not...

Pros: tons of legroom, the BEST warranty, drives smoothly Cons: no lights in the back seat if you have a moon roof
This car is amazing for a first time buyer! I got into an accident in my old car and needed to buy a new one. I had a list of about 6 or 7 cars but the Sonata kept the top spot each time I re-did my list. It has all the features I was looking for as...

Pros: Stylish, great warranty, great climate control. Cons: Cramped inside, thirsty for gas, too many service calls. The Bottom Line: Great looks and handling. Be sure to obtain the extended warranty, you will need it. Four cylinder engine burns more fuel than a six.
After ten years as a faithful Chrysler customer, we switched to Hyundai. We bought two Hyundai at the same time. A new 2002 Accent, which is doing just fine, and a pre-owned 2001 Sonata. The salesman said it had been used as a rental car. This...

Pros: Great warranty, service; Roomy & Stylish; outstanding performance, best quality! Cons: Fewer dealers/service shops than domestic auto dealers; package combinations not always best The Bottom Line: If this is your first mid-sized car, you must drive it to believe it. Best value, best performance, best service anywhere... I will by another!
I researched autos for half a year before I went shopping and I knew I wanted a Sonata. This car is truly impressive for the price. This car rides beautifully, with great gas mileage (21/28 for me), and, fully loaded, costs less than the Camry from the...

Pros: Value, features, MPG's Cons: POOR resale, little annoying issues The Bottom Line: If you want a long-term car and aren't worried about resale, great value.
My girlfriend was in the car market about 2 years ago, so we took a trip out to Ashland Motor Company (highly recommended). We were in search of a Subaru, but ran across this Sonata. Had approx 50k on the clock with all the options including leather ...

Pros: Attractive, Unbelievable Warranty, Roomy, Price, Price Price Cons: Not One so Far The Bottom Line: Sunroof, Cd Player, 100,000 mile Warranty (Power Train) Road side Assistance, Attractive, Roomy, all for $13,650!
I was really reluctant to even Consider a Hyundai. The very name conjured up images of cheap and embarrassing! My best friend bought an Elantra and kept raving about the price and warranty. So, when it was my turn to car hunt I promised to at least look...

Pros: interior design is excellent, can put a baby to sleep inside Cons: not made for people over 6 feet tall
I bought this vehicle merely because I had the 1990 version. The difference is the interior and I got a four door this time. The car is much better then my old one. The interior is incredible and the car has not given me one bit of trouble since I have...
