Q: Does anyone with a 2010 or 2011 hyundai sonata have any complaints/ issues?
Im thinking about buying a 2010 or 2011 hyundai sonata.

If you have an issue with your vehicle, dont have one, or have heard of an issue with it, id love to hear!

thank you!

A: I have an 07 Sonata & have not had 1 problem. Yes, the suspension can be noisy but only on really rough surfaces or some holes in the surface but for most driving surfaces, it is fine. Overall, I’m pleased with the car.

Q: Does anyone else besides me think that the 2011 Hyundai Sonata is a really beautiful looking car?
I saw a 2011 Sonata today and I thought it was the most beautiful looking car Hyudai has ever built.

A: Ironically, I had a Toyota dealership Parts Manager bought a 2011 Sonata just today. The toyota dealer its part of the same group I am and I was surprised to see him moving away from Toyota and having him buying a Hyundai. He said: Sonata sell for itself. I guess this explains all about this car.

Q: Hyundai Sonata 2011. Where can I find the commercial for it with the girl who leaves a note with a lipstick ki?
Hyundai Sonata 2011. Where can I find the commercial for it with the girl who leaves a note with a lipstick kiss on it online? All i can find is the stupid superbowl ad for it…
Never mind the 2010 one

A: It’s not an ad for the Sonata. It’s an ad for the current Elantra. It’s on Youtube:

Q: how much should i be paying if i want to purchase the new hyundai sonata 2011?
Looking into purchasing the 2011 sonata GLS. My credit is good. What kind of payments should i be expecting

A: well, three trim levels. and since i have read of some waiting lists at some dealerships, expect to pay close to MSRP. which is still reasonable for the car. i wouldn’t pay a penny above it for dealer “add ons” however.

i would expect anywhere from $21,000 for the lowest price base GLS and up to 30-32K for a fully loaded Limited. a Sport, somewhere in between

payments on the car depend on your down payment and finance rate, too. so without knowing that, its hard to say what they will be. but in my experience a lot of people pay around $300 a month for a $20,000 car and up to $450 for a $30,000 one. with say a 20% down payment or so

i pay $237 a month with $12,500 financed at 5% for my Elantra, for instance. bought it used.

Q: When is the all-new, 2011 Hyundai Sonata Limited sedan coming out at dealers?
Also, since there won’t be a 6-cylinder engine, how much later in the year will the 4-cylinder turbo arrive? Thanks.

A: it is predicted to arrive in Canada and the US sometimes in April 2010. I’m not sure if the Turbo model has been approved for these two countries. will see….. V6 engine have been discontinued because Hyundai is concentrating (besides other major factors) in reducing fuel consumption. Sometimes in Sept 2010 you will be able to see Sonata and Tucson in Hybrid models. Just stay tuned.

Q: When will the 2011 Hyundai Sonata come out?
And when it does do you think it will be the best midsize sedan?
And how much will it cost. First answer you have no idea what your talking the 2011 Kia sorento is coming out in January 2010 not 2011. If that was realy the case i wouldnt ask this question.
Will it cost approximately as the current sonata?

A: the new sixth-generation Sonata, which goes into production in mid-December will be going on sale early in 2010 as a 2011 model.

The new Sonata is making the car show circuit now. I would expect it to hit showrooms shortly after the Detroit Auto Show in January.

Q: Why isnt 2011 Hyundai Sonata SE available in Canada?
Its available in the American market, but not Canadian. SE features dual exhaust, bigger wheels and an additional 2hp.

A: It is available, a friend of mine just got one in London, Ontario. It’s black with dark tinted glass and looks great.

Q: mazda 3 or mazda 6 or hyundai sonata 2011?
Would it be better to get a Mazda3 4 door s sport with more add ons like a moon roof, 10 point surround sound system, remote engine start, etc. or a mazda6 itouring with no add ons? or even a hyundai sonata 2011 with minimal add ons? any input on these 3 cars would be great! thanks!

A: The best value would be the Mazda3 and Hyundai Sonata. If room is a premium and plain is a good thing then pursue the Mazda6. The 6 seems to be the japanese version of the previous Ford Taurus. An everybody fleet car, which can be viewed as good and reliable with a little flair. This doesn’t do it for me. I never drove the 6, so maybe I would change my tune once behind the wheel.
I can’t knock Hyundai, by now everyone has heard the name and it is no longer viewed as a cheap Korean car, similarly years ago Honda, Mazda and Toyota were labeled as cheap japanese cars. Hyundai is a serious car company. From what I have read the Sonata is seriously fast at top end speed. A few years ago, some guy was late to work speeding on an Arizona freeway. He didn’t know in the Scottsdale area their were speed cameras sophisticated enough to snap shoot his face and tags. As the story goes, he was clocked going 140 mph, in a Hyundai Sonata. lol. He made it to work on time, but shortly after a couple of Highway Patrol cars came to his workplace and he was taken in for speeding and wreck-less driving. He was so far over the speed limit by law he was in prison for a little while.
Hyundai was approached to see if this was a glitch or a freakish Sonata, it was not. This article was in Motor Trend Magazine. I would say that is pretty impressive. Hyundai builds an even better car today, though not necessarily faster.
My experience is with an 05 Mazda3 approaching 75,000 miles with no problems to report. I can drive rather fast, lets just leave it at that. I am also a safe driver who never loses his sanity behind the wheel. Whatever the occasion the Mazda3 has fit the bill in a superb manner. From my experience I would recommend you purchase a Mazda3.

Best.

Q: Is the 2011 Hyundai Sonata a girly car?
Is it OK for a man to get one of these?

A: The 2011 Hyundai Sonata is a cool, sophisticated, expensive looking sport sedan that can suit a man or woman. It is definetly ok to buy a 2011 hyundai sonata if your a man.

Q: 2011 Hyundai Sonata ?
when the 2011 Hyundai Sonata will be releas..i wanna buy 1

A: I’d like to know when the bluetech/hybrid models will start hitting the market? Those will be in 2010 also they say. http://www.hyundaiusa.com

Q: what are the major differences between the 2010 and 2011 hyundai sonata?

A: The Body style is so much different and the engine is improved too. The same 2.4L I4 has 23 more HP and 16 more torque then the 2010 model plus it’s fuel economy improved by 1City/3Hwy. The fuel tank is nearly a gallon larger so the range is improved. The transmission is now 6 speed instead of 5 speed, which is partly responsible for the improved EPA and power numbers. Size wise the car is nearly identical in measurements.
You can run a comparison for more stats.

Q: The carrying capacity of 2011 Hyundai Sonata?
How much weight can the Sonata carry? So, let’s say a family of five plus luggage and whatnot…

A: I don’t see that listed on Hyundai’s website. http://www.hyundaiusa.com/sonata/specifications.aspx It may be in there somewhere, but usually they list towing capacity not passenger weight capacity. It may be written in the warranty so if you put 1000 pounds worth of people in the car Hyundai’s not buying you new shocks/struts, same if someone wants to fill the trunk with bags of sand/cement.

Q: are there any problems with the alarm on the 2011 hyundai sonata?

A: No more problem than with any other car or brand of car. If you are having problems, take the car back to the dealer…it is under warranty you know.

Q: What is the name of Mozart’s composition in the 2011 Hyundai Sonata commercial?
Anyone now the name of this piece?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MVTUg6B87Y

A: It’s a somewhat frivolous arrangement of his Sonata K331, the last movement, also known as the ‘Rondo alla Turca’

All the best,

Q: I really want to get 2011 Hyundai Sonata, but when?
I’ve been researching a lot about what car to get, and 2011 Hyundai Sonata seem to hit the mark! I’ve checked out the inside, and it’s as stunning as the exterior. Car gets great gas mileage comparable to compact sedans with very spacious interior. This car is getting great reviews, so I’m afraid that demand will be very high which may drive up the cost unlike other Hyundai models. Its MSRP is low compared to competitors, but I’m not planning on paying close to MSRP. If I want any deals on this, would it be best to wait until 2012s come out or wait for pre-owned? Is Hyundai known to do any big sales like Nissan’s Bottom Line sale?

A: i doubt Hyundai is going to do a big sales push on the new Sonata. they are doing deals on 2010 models, which are still on dealer lots. a lot of them. in my part of the country its $3000 off and or / 0% financing and all that. while the new car is in high demand, i wouldn’t expect the same. later in the year, no doubt. but weather thats a rebate, financing, or “factory to dealer” incentives, who knows? but i wouldn’t expect dealers to be making great deals on these cars atm. or going much lower then MSRP, if at all

if you really want one and want the best deal possible i think you’ll have to wait until production is ramped up a bit and you see more on the road. end of the model year is my guess. or as you said, perhaps a slightly used one now? those always start to pop up from here and there, and they may hit the sweet spot for you

for instance this black one with 150m found somewhere in NY. asking $18,000 but these cars used are few and far between atm
