2001 Hyundai Sonata GLS review from North America

Electric firing coils replaced at 20,000 miles.

Door handle broke off at 35,000 miles.

Hood latch replaced at 42,000 miles.

Windshield washer fluid motor replaced 3 times.

Windshield wiper motor replaced at 40,000 miles.

Very poor paint job. All of the paint on the door handles have worn off already.

This car was purchased largely due to the 10 year / 100,000 mile warranty. I now know why they have such an extensive warranty.

This car gets very poor gas mileage for a 4-cylinder. I have not gotten over 21 miles per gallon, city or hi way.

In town this car has a very rough ride and will shake you to death. The suspension is not adequate.

This car starts very rough in winter and even rougher in summer.

This car has very high maintainence costs. The dealer charges $300 for the 30,000 mile tune-up and over $600 for the 60,000 mile tune-up.

This car was a bargain when I purchased it, but is has become very expensive to maintain and operate.
