2009 Hyundai Sonata GLS review from North America
"If my fiance is satisfied, Hyundai has created a repeat buyer"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Haven't owned it long enough to give a good review on things that have gone wrong. So far everything is operating the same as the day we drove it off the lot.
General comments?
My fiance and I bought this car to replace her '91 Escort. It is a beautiful car with low miles, an excellent warranty, and we got it for a killer price. We spent about 3,000 less than KBB price, and the Toyotas and Hondas in the same category were priced about 2-3K dollars higher than this vehicle.
I really enjoy the ride of this car, and look forward to having it for a long time. On the next oil change, I will be running Mobil 1 5W-20 Synthetic Oil. Dealer told me this should improve the mileage from an already great 35mpg, to a stellar ~40mpg, all while quieting the operation. Looking forward to that. Will update this review once we have driven it through a MN winter.
