2005 Hyundai Sonata GL 4 cy

Summary:

Not the best car, but its still good

Faults:

Engine vibration bad, but only when car is in park or is at a stop light.

The car start over heat around 20,000 miles and over heats every now and then.

The arm rests make a crack sound when pressure is put on them.

30,000 miles it need its tune up, but every car need a tune up every now and then it cost $350.

Sometimes the door doesn't want to open.

The CD player skips on new cd's.

But other than that it's a good car.

General Comments:

The car is a good car cheap on gas, but not a lot of room in the back seat.

I'm confused.

Your heading says "CRAP", yet then you say the car is OK???

At 20,000 miles the hose is still under warranty. All cars have some issues at some time.

You have a leaking hose? and the a/c may need some attention. Hardly enough problems to constitute a crap car. You could have paid a lot more for another make and still get problems, from what I read. Your critisism seems a bit harsh.

2005 Hyundai Sonata GL 2.5L 4 cylinder

Summary:

Good deal so far

Faults:

Nothing.

General Comments:

Overall, my wife and I have no complaints. The interior is a bit smaller than we would like, but we can't afford a bigger car at this time. Don't like the fact that the doors don't lock automatically after you get in. I was a little nervous about buying a Hyundai, but since our previous Buick was a piece of crap I was ready to try just about anything.

I also went from American to a Hyundai Sonata. My father works for GM so there were troubled times when I bought the car. However, after about 2 months he drove the car and commented on how quiet and nice it is. "better than a Malibu" He said (and less expensive). After 54,000 miles on my 04 LX, We have had 0 problems. I will look to Hyundai first for my next car.

I just purchased an 04 Sonata GLS. I love it. It's a very quiet ride, easy to handle, sharp looking too. I get a lot of comments of people thinking it's a Mercedes or a new Lincoln.

My car only had 30,000 miles on it and had never been scratched, dented, smoked in. Tip top shape.

Theres nothing more I could want from a car that this one doesn't have. The trunk is roomy, the seats accommodate individual drinks, the cd player and tape player are easy to use. The gas mileage?? well, for a 6 cyl its not too shabby. The car has some real get up and go to it. I would definitely buy another Hyundai product. I too have GM family members that gave me some problems about my purchase, but in the end, I'm the most satisfied customer of this quality made car.

I BOUGHT A 2004 SONATA brand new. I just love it. I have over 70 k miles on it now and it still rides like a dream. Smooth, quite and good pick up. I have regular oil changes. Had to have the brakes replaced, but other than that, besides tires of course. 0 problems, and plan to keep this one a long time. Every one I let drive it says it is such a great ride.

I bought my Sonata LX new and in 5 years and 55,000 miles have had zero problems. The car is as tight and solid as the day we bought it.
