Instead of purchasing this car, I purchased a Genesis. While this is a nice vehicle for such a low cost, it needs just a little more than value to be better than the Toyota or Honda. As for their reliability, my wife had a 2001 Accent. We put on 21k miles a year for 7 years. We then traded it in on a 2007 Elantra and it has been pretty flawless. The Genesis is too new to estimate. But so far one flawless trip to San Fran. with zero issues and 29mpg @ 79mph.

This car is like a big lump of souless shit. The ony people who would be mad enough to buy a car this bad in Europe, would be mini cab drivers. Infact I don't even think it's sold in europe. How you can compare that car, to say a VW Passat is quite funny. It looks so cheap,and white paint is really cheap.

The warranty is pretty stellar for these Hyundai

Now that I can respect. Thats your OPINION and you're definitely entitled to one. It just irks me when people take their OPINIONS and spew them over the web as if they were facts. The Sonata's interior feels plasticky to YOU and thats fine. I disagree and several auto magazines back up the claim that the Sonata has one of the nicest interiors in its class. But oh well I guess we can agree to disagree...

You know what, I'm not gonna lie. The interior of the 2009 Hyundai Sonata looks nice. I like the cleaner layout. I was impressed that I went to check it out at the dealership, and I just didn't like how it felt. It doesn't have the same quality materials as the Hondas or newer Nissans. It still feels cheap and hard-plasticy, which is the same reason why I hated my old Dodge Caravan.

Dude are you blind, incompetent, or just plain stupid? I wouldn't sit here and argue with you if I didn't know for a fact that the Sonata is not small (maybe the Accent/Elantra is what you're thinking of) and it definitely doesn't feel cheap. The Sonata has one of the nicest interiors in its class with this new 09 redesign actually. And as previously stated the Sonata has been on top of the reliability charts for the past decade. So what am I hating on exactly? Just stating facts...

TheJabHattEnt (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

It's still small and cheap. And the interior,s trust me buddy, I bought a Hyundai because I go to school, and I really did not like it. I really like the new ones, but we can't say their reliable, we unfortunately cannot look into the future and say that it is reliable. I said this before, stop hating, it won't get anywhere on the internet.

"You're the reason why people think Americans are ignoring."No apparently you are because you can't even correctly insult someone. The correct term is ignorant. All I am saying is that if you actually took the time to do some research rather than relying on what you hear from others and being stuck in the 80s, you would know that the Sonata has one of the largest interiors in its class and has consistently been very reliable over the past decade...

TheJabHattEnt (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

It's true though. The Hyundais weren't that reliable. And I'm saying that we can't say the new ones are reliable yet, because they're too new to say. So stop hating so much on the internet and start getting what people say, start having some real debates rather than saying "Stop talking out of your ass". You're the reason why people around the world think Americans are ignoring.

@TheJabHattEntStop talking out of your ass and gets your facts straight before making biased unfounded comments. Do some research, you might learn something...
