Kraig Butler, United States of America

Hyundai Sonata 2006

I love this car. Very reliable, nice features, ergonomic design. I spend hours every day in my car for work. My Sonata is comfortable and zippy. The V6 delivers good power when I need it but with excellent gas mileage. All the controls are in the right places and intuitive.

Hyundai Sonata 2011

This rides like a dream and has tons of power especially with the 2.0 turbo. It goes from zero to holy crap in five seconds.

Hyundai Sonata cdx automatic 2006

Well, I’ve had the Sonata CDX 2.4 petrol automatic for 3 months now and have covered 8000 miles in that time bringing the total mileage up to 20000 in 3 years. The car is ebony black and looks really impressive and has a nice sporting muscular stance (the 17" alloy wheels and 225/50 tyres also help the stance). This car really does get heads turning and looks much more expensive that it really is, the leather interior trim is also very impressive, much better than the previous model and, again, gets lots of compliments. The car has been trouble free since I’ve had it with the exception of a slight fault on the VDO radio/CD which was replaced immediately. The performance of the car is more than adequate but In hindsight I would have gone for the 3.3 litre V6 which is only marginally more thirsty and gives one the added bonus of a 145 mph top speed and acceleration to match AND the most glorious yowl as the engine goes through 3500 rpm! To summarise, the car looks good, drives well, is very spacious (especially the boot which is cavernous), is quieter than a lot of the opposition and is such good value for money. The only minor gripe that I have is that the fuel economy isn’t brilliant but I’ve countered that issue by fitting a sequential LPG system so now it is ’thumbs up’ all around.

Hyundai Sonata cd 1994

Just to upset the "Top Gear" mob, I recently bought a 1994 Sonata cd, with the 2 litre engine. Jet black paintwork, dark grey leather interior, aircon, and a boot you could chauffeur with. It’s covered 69,000 miles, shot through the MOT, and drives like a new car. It even looks like a new car, not a mark on it. Whatever Clarkson and his acolytes say about them, Hyundai have cornered the market on the "Sedan" , the slightly larger, safe as houses, but with a sting in the tail in the shape of the "Sport" button on the automatic box range. Press the sport button down on mine, and I regularly leave the BMW 5 series clan standing. And they DON’T like it. On the other hand, I love it. And yes, I do polish it regularly. Oh yes, the price..... £500.

Mitchel Kenny, Dumbartonshire

Hyundai Sonata 2.0 CDX

I’ve had this company car for 3 months now and whilst it has plenty of space for a family of five and comes with plenty of kit as standard I’m not that impressed with the steering, which feels a bit vague and there’s quite a bit of body roll around corners. It’s not the best car I’ve ever driven by a long chalk but it’s not the worst. Average.
