2005 Hyundai Sonata LX review from North America
"Good value for the dollar"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The passenger seat became loose after 12K and started to rattle. It was serviced by the dealer to my satisfaction. The car appears to be very durable with no visible wear after one year and 14K on the odometer.
General comments?
Good ride, decent handling and very quiet. Gas mileage has averaged 22mpg with 80% road driving. The rear seats are roomy and comfortable. Trunk is enormous.
