2003 Hyundai Sonata GLS review from North America
"Buy it, you'll love it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rotors have been replaced more frequently than normal.
Crystals in the radio readout are not working properly, making it hard to know what station you're on.
Starting to have transmission trouble at 145,000 miles.
General comments?
I'm 6 foot three inches, and there is plenty of leg room for the driver.
Decent gas mileage on highway, about 27 MPG.
Car still looks good after 5 years, still very stylish.
Stock stereo has great sound.
Cruise control always holds your desired speed.
Air conditioner never serviced, and it's still as cold as day one.
Power sunroof is a great option, adds fun and functionality.
All driver controls are in very easy to reach.
