1996 Hyundai Sonata review from North America
"So much bang for the buck!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has went wrong with this vehicle and it is driven hard every day. 210 miles per day to and from work at 75 mph average speed. The timing belt had just been replaced when we purchased it. I would assume maintenance is an important factor in the reliability of the vehicle.
General comments?
This car is awesome for the price that was paid for it.
Has good pickup and speed for a 4 cylinder.
My husband is 6'3" and 250lbs. and is the one who drives it everyday. Other than wishing it had cruise control he is very comfortable in it.
The back seat is extremely comfortable and roomy for whatever size person is riding.
