I love my car

This car has met all my expectations. I wish I had researched before I came in cause I probably would have gotten the limited edition or maybe the tuscon.

Enjoying my new car

Love the way the car drives. I feel safe and comfortable behind the wheel. Never thought I'd buy a Hyundai, so happy I bought it

Front end on these cars is too low.

My only complaint so far is that the front end sets too low. First day driving it, the black rubber/plastic area of front bumper was scratched just driving into the slight incline in the driveway. I had same issue with a previous Sonata I owned. Very disappointed. 2019 Sonata I turned in didn't have that issue

Best car I’ve owned

This car is amazing. Only thing I don’t like is the wireless CarPlay doesn’t always work but apple says it’s Hyundai Hyundai says it’s apple. Oh well they’ll make an update I hope.

It’s a beauty

This car is pretty, however the Apple CarPlay lags quite a bit. Other than that, for the price paid it has been well worth it.

Overwhelmingly terrific!

I was looking for a used SUV and visited numerous car dealers and drove up variety of SUVs. However, when I went to Hyundai, I drove the Kona, Tucson, Alantra, and Senada. The Senada overwhelmingly outshined all the others in every aspect other than driver visibility height.The safety features were what I was looking for and it’s loaded. As a 75-year-old, driving a 14-year-old car, safety was my main objective and this satisfied at all.

I’m used to SUVs but this is a cool ride

My last three vehicles have been SUVs and this is my first sedan in a while, so far I’m very happy! Very comfortable, plenty of legroom and space!

A complete package at a budget price

I bought my 2021 Sonata SEL the day after Thanksgiving as a Christmas present to myself. I traded in my 2018 Sonata which was flawless but I wanted the new technology like adaptive cruises and lane follow and android auto of the '21 model. I love my new car except for one thing. The push button transmission selector. I strongly prefer the shift lever of my previous car! Btw, my car has the 2.5 base engine. I regularly get 40mpg highway at 70mph. The performance is more than adequate. It accelerates smoothly and safely on freeway ramps with ease. Passing on two lane rural highways can be achieved with confidence. The trunk is spacious enough for two peoples luggage on a long distance trip.

You're basically getting a luxury car on a budget!

I have the Hyundai Sonata SEL Plus & not only do I adore the sporty modern aesthetic and awesome features, but the price makes it even more incredible!
