Aug. 30, 2012 - PRLog -- Have you ever read a review from an "Automotive Expert" about a particular car and thought to yourself - who cares? Sure, expert reviewers/car critics can provide helpful and sometimes useful insight into a particular car, but sometimes, their information may not always appeal to the masses.

For example, many times a car review will talk primarily about torque and acceleration. Ok, that information is great if you are buying or researching something like a Chevy Corvette, but honestly, who really cares how quickly something like a Nissan Sentra can go from 0 to 60 mph? Some people, sure, but for the most of us folks, we look at smaller cars for fuel economy, affordability and practicality; not horsepower.

With that being said, I scoured the web for real reviews about the Hyundai Sonata from actual Sonata owners. After All, who knows the car better than somebody who drives it on a daily basis? Experts are experts and I'm not trying to discredit their knowledge and experience by any means, but owners have a true insight that many times an expert may overlook or not even think to mention.

Sonata Review # 1 (posted on Cars.com by Ken 8-23-12):

"This is my 3rd Hyundai & 2nd Sonata over 15 years. My 2002 Sonata proviced over 160,000 miles with few maintenance issues. In fact, the first & only time my check engine light came on was just the week before I purchased my 2013 Sonata. With that success & reliability there was no doubt that my newest pruchase would be, for sure, a Hyundai & after looking at a few of the other models the Sonata was a no-brainer for me. I have just been amazed with the number of new features that it includes. The new Bluetooth technology, the automatic adjusting rear-view mirror, heated side-view mirrors, as well as, all of the safety features that give me a great deal of security. I have yet to take it on a long road trip but even with all city driving I am still getting in excess of 27 miles per gallon and have driven over 800 miles on 2 tanks of gas. I am completely satisfied with my purchase & that would include the incredible customer service that Hyundai has always provided. The vehicle has truly been more than I could have expected."

Sonata Review # 2 (Posted on Cars.com by Tom 7-31-12):

"I owned a 2006 Sonata V6 SE. It was the most reliable car i've ever had. After driving current Honda, Nissan, Mazda and Hyundai 4 cyl models, I decided on a Hyundai Sonata SE Turbo. It had similar fuel averages and greater performance vs the the other three 4 cyl models. After about 1000 miles, I'm happier that I thought I would be. Performance and fuel mileage beat expectations and ride, while firm, is never harsh. Price was lower than Honda."

Sonata Review # 3 (Posted on Edmunds.com by Cecmazda6 on 8-5-12):

Vehicle 2012 Hyundai Sonata Limited 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

Please, do not test-drive a Sonata Turbo unless you're you're ready to buy, because you're gonna be compelled to buy it. The engineers of the 2.0 turbo Sonata are geniuses. The GDI was already cutting-edge for the regular 2.4 4-cyl, but the performance and fuel efficiency of the 274hp turbo are just pure genius. Simply put, it's a rocket. I effortlessly pass pretty much any car I want, anywhere, at any time, yet I get consistent 30-35mpg on the highway WITHOUT the ECO on and enthusiastic driving. Even the 'softer' limited suspension handles tight corners with great agility (18" low-profile tires help too). Beautiful engineering. And oh yeah, did I mention it's beautiful to stare at as well?

Sonata Review # 4 (Posted on Edmunds.com by Sackc26 on 5-27-12):

Coming from a 2010 Nissan Altima SL 2.5, I needed to get out of my lease (I just got a new job that requires a 35 minute commute each way). I researched Honda Accord, Ford Fusion, Toyota Camry, Subaru Legacy, Honda Civic and the Hyundai Elantra. To me, it wasn't a tough decision. I opted for the GLS base trim and although I missed out on power seats, chrome interior handles and alloys in the GLS Option #2 package, it boiled down to what was important to me. The base still has bluetooth and XM (my Altima SL didn't have them both), and the performance is the same on all trims. The car drives well also - fluid steering, nice acceleration and great MPG.

Sonata Review # 5 (Posted on Kbb.com by Nosarb on 8-6-12):

"This engine has plenty of pep! Seat support could be a little better. Steering is a little numb. This is the best car in its class for the money. The ride fits in between the too hard Honda and the too mushy Toyota. There is a soft dash. (not hard plastic) This car can turn very sharp for a large car. Driving the car slow will get you very good gas mileage. I average about 33 mpg. Driving fast will bring down mileage quickly."

The list of positive reviews for the Hyundai Sonata seems almost endless, both from consumers and experts alike. I did run across a few negatives, but the good far outweigh the bad in the case of the Hyundai Sonata. The primary complaint, which I also agree with, is that the front passenger seat sits too low, and there is no option for a height adjuster.
