| Pros: What do you like about 2006 Hyundai Sonata?
Quiet ride, roomy and functional interior, aesthetically pleasing, plenty of power for all situations, heated seats work very well and are a lifesaver on cold New England mornings!! Cons: How would you improve 2006 Hyundai Sonata?
Put track change controls on steering wheel, make Navigation/Bluetooth/Ipod connection options. Do not use GREEN backlighting, even the new elantra has a nice blue!! Change cupholder fittings, they are awful and don't hold cups well; if not for the fact I never drink anything in the car I would have had a major problem with this feature, or lack thereof. A sports model for some people would probably be a welcome addition as well (I like a softer ride personally). 2006 Hyundai Sonata Review:
EXTERIOR: The exterior to me is beautiful, moreso than the Azera, Camry or Accord in my opinion. Clean and simple, with nothing fancy works best for me.
INTERIOR: The interior is cavernous and nicely laid out compared to other cars I looked at. My only gripes were the lack of availability of some really necessary items like Navigation and Bluetooth or an Ipod connector. If the Sonata (or Hyundai in general) cannot get those items I will not be buying their products in the future.
RIDE: I have an 'LX' model 2006 Sonata, therefore I have the lower profile tires, which give a somewhat bumpy ride compared to the 16" tires, or so I hear. I never test drove the 16" wheels, but mine absorbs pretty much all bumps I encounter (which are plenty).
ROOMINESS: On occasion I have my girlfriend in the car with me, however it is rare that I ever need the back seats for more than my stuff, but when I do have rear seat passengers, they rave about how comfortable and roomy the car really is. I have sat in the back of my car and found it to be plenty adequate. The trunk has more cargo space than I really need right now, but I do like having that much room. My last car was a Chevy Cavalier (2004), so this car simply blows that out of the water in terms of space and comfort.
SUMMARY:
This car is a great overall car for anyone, and since its starting price is relatively low, it is a great beginner car for teen drivers, as well as for more serious drivers who would like to add power and creature comforts. However, those who are looking for some specifics like Nav and Bluetooth link and aux jacks for their Ipods best look elsewhere. For everyone else, there is no better value. |

| Pros: What do you like about 2006 Hyundai Sonata?
I like the MP3 player. It is simple, but plays every format I've tried. Gas mileage is good on highway trips. It is roomy and rides fairly well. Cons: How would you improve 2006 Hyundai Sonata?
Hyundai needs to let up on the warning bells when the seatbelt is not secured. As soon as you start the car, if your seatbelt isn't in you hear a VERY LOUD and VERY ANNOYING ringing/beeping sound. If you park your car and take your seat belt off before you shut the engine off you get another dose of this most ANNOYING sound. I bought this car in January and it now belongs to my wife. Just picked up a 2006 Civic. Gave up a little bit of room, but gained fuel economy and got rid of that ANNOYING seat belt warning.
Also, a month after I got the car, the windshield began to work lose and makes a rickety kind of noise. Sounds like rubber and glass rubbing together. It took a few attempts to convice the dealership that there was a problem. But they found it in at least one other Sonota. Almost everyone that rode in my car asked about the noisy windshield. You know what they say. "Isn't that a shame that a new car would have that kind of a problem..." 2006 Hyundai Sonata Review:
This car is okay, but I expected more. |

Make the seats more comfortable with more adjustments. Audio controls on sterring wheel should change channels not just the mode. 2006 Hyundai Sonata Review:
Love it for the price. Looking to buy my wife another car and can't justify spending the same money on a civic or corolla. We will now have 2 Sonatas in the garage. |

I love my Sonata. I own a 2006. However some quality issues have arisen. The car rattles worse than my 93 t-bird did after 80,000 miles. It has also been in the shop for two weeks waiting on a sensor. They inform me the wait could be another 2 weeks. So I may have to be without my car for up to a month. |
