"Our initial impression of Hyundai was that of a low-cost, entry level vehicle. Boy were we surprised! The interior room, trunk space, and convenience features like the steering wheel controls were such a welcome surprise! Our view of Hyundai has dramatically changed for the better!"
"Hyundai has never crossed my mind as an option for my family. Having 5 in a family means we need a larger vehicle, especially with two teens. We have driven minivans for this reason (mostly space for the older kids to be comfortable). The roominess of the Hyundai has brought into the choice options for our next vehicle."
"I had been thinking about buying a Honda for our next vehicle, but the Hyundai offers what seems to be an even higher safety and comfort level for a much better price."
"I have never seen a car that was designed like this before it is very stylish"
"I used to have a Hyundai Elantra. This car is vastly improved, most particularly in terms of safety. So I think their slogan proves true."
"As a lower cost car in its class, you almost expect it to feel lower quality as well... But it didn't... it has almost a sense of luxury to it."
"Honestly, in the past, the Hyundai has never been very high up on my list of vehicles to test drive when I'm considering the purchase of a new vehicle - but this new Sonata impressed me so much in every possible way. I definitely will be considering a new Hyundai (whether it's a car, or maybe even a mini-van or an SUV) the next time I'm in the market to buy a vehicle because I was just that impressed with the new Hyundai Sonata."
"Hyundais are *very* nice cars! I was amazed at the quality, roominess, and power the car had. Somewhere in the past I had gotten the impression that Hyundais, especially the smaller vehicles, were "disposable" vehicles like Ford Escorts, but that is completely not the case. I'm so happy to be enlightened; my husband and I are looking for a new vehicle and have moved Hyundai into our Top Two. Now, if only you had a minivan..."
"I have always liked Hyundai's but would have not considered buying one before now. The Sonata, truly is a family car, heck it could replace our minivan."
"I used to own a Hyundai Excel, and it was, quite frankly a really crappy car. This car is no comparison to those older models, and I was very pleasantly surprised by how much these cars have improved."
"Hyundai has really come along way in the past 10-15 years. I remember the Excel my high school boyfriend drove as a very small hatchback. And I think a lot of people still think back to those times when you mention Hyundai. The cars I saw on the lot and the Sonata I drove are nothing like my memories ... the Sonata drove much nicer than the Taurus I had a few years back and the LX I saw in the showroom comes very close to being a luxury car (at least in my opinion)."
"My prior image of Hyundai was of a cheap, budget car company. However, the Sonata definitely does not have a "cheap, budget" feel to it. I was impressed with the design of the interior, the leather option in the LX model, and the little extras like the automatic temperature control and mute button on the steering wheel. Sonata exceeded my expectations!"
