2003 Hyundai Sonata - Reliable and Modest

Overall, I am satisfied with the purchase and performance of my vehicle. More specifically, I like the fact that the vehicle has barely broken down in my time spent as owner and that there barely any noticeable "blind spots" within the cab. The vehicles has proven to be a safe and reliable mode of transportation. I dislike the fact that stock car alarm can go triggered by opening the car manually with the key. Additionally, I am off put by the front end design of the vehicle as it looks quite dated and old fashioned. The vehicle has performed in all aspects of climate, from snowy Mid-Atlantic winters to sunny Floridian summers.

Story

As a Floridian who, at the time, recently relocated to the Mid-Atlantic, I remember having no idea how to use the defroster option on my car and actually had no idea it even had one. I had to consult a friend how to properly defrost and deice my car.

Pros

Some of the pros of this vehicle has been the reliability of the Air Conditioning unit, the reliability of the transmission, and the general attention to detail the auto manufacturers took when designing the interior of the vehicle. Some of my favorite features include the stock sound system, the trunk space, and the leather seating.

Cons

Some of the cons of this vehicle surround the alternator and engine size of this vehicle. In retrospect, I believe that I could have done without a V6 engine as they tend to be more gas consuming and environmentally unfriendly when compared to a hybrid or V4. With reference to the alternator, I have recently had this replaced 2 times and the mechanic does not seem to understand why the alternator keeps failing.

2011 Hyundai Sonata - Great first vehicle.

This car has been great to me. I have driven across the country at least five times visiting family during the holidays. This vehicle has also helped me move from Texas to New York, New York to Texas, Texas to Florida, and Florida to Virginia. I like the fuel economy combined with large storage capacity. The trunk is large enough for a sea chest as well as a number of boxes and loose odds and ends. I also like how the trunk door is the same size as the trunk space. It is very annoying when you open the trunk and cannot fit something into it because the door is so much bigger than the actual trunk opening.

Story

The funniest memory I have in this car was driving home from Home Depot. I had the car loaded up with wood for a project back home. The car was filled from the back of the trunk all the way to the radio controls. It looked like I have built a wall through the middle of my car. I could not see my wife in the passenger seat.

Pros

Good fuel economy with a large hauling capacity. I have moved eight-foot 4x4s and 3x4s in this car with the trunk fully closed. The fold-down back seat lines up well with the center console to get that extra length.

Cons

When the back seat is folded down, there is a large lip that prevents you from being able to use all of the space between the trunk space and the car interior.
