What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2005 Hyundai Sonata generally have positive feelings about their vehicles. They particularly like its reliability, smooth driving experience, and decent fuel economy. Many appreciate the comfortable and spacious interior, as well as the car's performance, especially with the V6 engine. On the downside, some drivers mentioned that it can feel a bit underpowered on inclines and may require occasional repairs."
This car is fun to drive. Its V6 24 valve DOHC provides quick acceleration. The car has very good handeling and can take corners pretty quick. The leather is very durable and has sustained 5 years of the brutal San Antonio summers.
July 15, 2009Easy to maintain, simple to drive, and solid V6 power with better than average fuel economy. Outstanding performance, durable build quality, classic appearance, low cost of ownership, and there is no doubt that is car is certainly fun to drive for both short and long driving trips.
November 20, 2010I’ve had this car for over a year aside from new set of tires and had spark plugs replaced along with oil changes it was 164,583 miles so far and drives wonderfully I’m not a car person but it’s awesome only things I’ve left to do is AC compressor and tune up for it it’s a 2.4 liter and gets great gas mileage and love to drive it especially out of state.

September 19, 2021love this car! great on gas and very reliable. jus keep it regularly serviced and it runs like a top. this review is based on what ur getting. for a mid ranged sedan its got good acceleration and top end. braking is great, as well as handling. of corse handling is always improved with a better grade of tire, but it shoots in and out of corners well.
November 6, 2011Typically, this car runs very well. My sister loves it. It gets decent gas mileage, is comfortable, and it performs surprisingly well. It even has a good sound system. I would reccomend the Hyundai Sonata for anyone in need of a cheap, reliable car.
December 17, 2008All the extras for a great price compared to Hondas and Toyotas equal in every category a little more distinctive styling; trouble free operation 2 dealer warranty visits; one for a light bulb and the other for an emission parts replacement.
July 30, 2012This is my second car :) I got it from my Grandmother shortly after she passed away. It has a V6 engine and runs very smoothly. It's very reliable. It's only been in the shop once (in the three years that it's been around). That was only to flush out the entire system. Just like every car needs every now and again.
March 28, 2008Very smooth driving, gives the feeling of luxary; looks fantastic but does not out beat the newest of Hyundai Sonata line. Cost we reasonable and well worth it. I enjoyd the car personally and would reccomend it to anyone. Needed some repairs but nothing any other car wouldnt need with time.
