2000 Hyundai Sonata 4 cylinder

Summary:

Hidden Treasure, but not for long

Faults:

Nothing has gone wrong yet.

General Comments:

I was skeptical at first, but I had heard that Hyundai improved their cars several years ago. Evidently, that is the case. I just recently bought my Sonata in central Illinois and it was one of the few I could find.

I love the overall feel to the car. It's good size in the cabin and plenty of leg room.

The gas mileage on the 4 Cyl is better than I thought and I'm quite pleased with it.

The 4 Cyl does not possess great pickup but for someone doing highway driving like myself, it is more than adequate.

The design of the car is attractive and the paint and overall condition of the car are showroom new.

Best warranty of any used car I looked at, since I get the balance of the bumper to bumper. Great roadside assistance plan as well.

I have had the same problem. Hyundai said it was nothing to worry about while it was under warranty. After I sold the vehicle the guy I sold it too spent about $600 to have it fixed. He also spent about $800 more dollars on the engine when the car began not to start. I didn't ask what the problem was. O by the way the hood rusted completely into around the nose area and the car only has about 70,000 miles on it now. Luckily I got rid of it just in time. Good for me bad for the guy I sold it to.

Summary:

The car is a very reliable car and also very fast

Faults:

I did not have any problems with the car.

General Comments:

I never had any problems with this car. The car is running very good.

The only small problem I have with it is the gasoline. I cannot get a lot of kilometers on an full tank of gas, I only get around 500 Km. This could be because I like to drive faster then the speed limit.

2000 Hyundai Sonata GLS

Summary:

We were cheated on this car and will never buy or recommend Hyundai

Faults:

The alarm system no longer works, and cannot be fixed.

There are no chimes to remind you that you've left your lights on, and that cannot be fixed.

The car was advertised as having a 6 CD changer. It was not included, and is not available.

The User's Manual states that the rear window de-fogger turns off in 15 minutes. That is not true and cannot be fixed.

General Comments:

Hyundai used false advertising to get us to purchase this car.

They are not willing to fix these problems. They just say the options are not available on this car, even though they're listed in the User's Manual.

Now that we've questioned the manufacturer, they say the options we thought we were getting are only available on European models.

I have a 2001 Sonata GLS and have none of the things you mentioned have gone wrong with this awesome car. I think that you must have a lemon because my car has none of those problems. It is the most wonderful car I have ever driven or owned, and I highly recommend this car to anyone who wants a great car for a reasonable price!

Summary:

I got my money's worth. Thanks for the factory financing, Hyundai. We love you every month

Faults:

Had to replace the left rear speaker at about a couple of hundred miles. Maybe my wife like to play her music too loud. Can you feel the bass yet, honey?

General Comments:

With a few suspension modifications and a little engine tuning this could be a real screamer. I've got plans, just no money.

2000 Hyundai Sonata 2.4 4 cylinder

Faults:

Nothing so far.

General Comments:

It is just best deal on the planet.

I bought this car with only $13,890. and financed for .9%.

This car has amazing ride that could compare to much more expensive cars. And the noise level is impressive on highway speed like 70-80mph...

Fit and quality is just solid as Hondas and Toyotas. Rattle free. Sounds just hum and thunk....

Simply you can buy great mid size sedan for price of compact Japanese cars.
