2000 Hyundai Sonata review from North America
"Hidden Treasure, but not for long"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong yet.
General comments?
I was skeptical at first, but I had heard that Hyundai improved their cars several years ago. Evidently, that is the case. I just recently bought my Sonata in central Illinois and it was one of the few I could find.
I love the overall feel to the car. It's good size in the cabin and plenty of leg room.
The gas mileage on the 4 Cyl is better than I thought and I'm quite pleased with it.
The 4 Cyl does not possess great pickup but for someone doing highway driving like myself, it is more than adequate.
The design of the car is attractive and the paint and overall condition of the car are showroom new.
Best warranty of any used car I looked at, since I get the balance of the bumper to bumper. Great roadside assistance plan as well.
