"As a mother with two young children, I put the safety features of a car as the highest priority. The 2006 Sonata exceeded my expectations with their safety. Right down to the basic structure, the car provides control and stability like no other. Brakes applying to individual wheels if needed is a comfort, along with traction control and ABS. The six airbags made me feel safe and secure, and the head restraints are a genius idea for protection."
"It's quite refreshing to have the safety features included in the price instead of costing extra! I hate when the safety features cost extra, because to me, that says, "we think you're only worth the safety features if you can afford it." I definitely feel including the features are a big plus."
"I was completely amazed at the safety features on the Sonata. They are the most advanced features I have ever heard about on a car, down to the hydraulics under the engine, and the steel cage surrounding the passengers. The safety features are what "sold" me on this car if anything else."
"Safety is so important, especially with children. I felt that the safety features in this vehicle were wonderful, and felt that myself and my child or any other passengers in the car would be well protected in the unfortunate event of an accident."
"I was pleasantly surprised. The Sonata had some of the same appointments that my Acura S type has. The interior was comfortable and the acceleration in California traffic was excellent."
"I always thought Hyundai's were pretty light cars. I was impressed because it felt very solid when test driving the Sonata. They also have attachments by the rear window for child seat attachments."
"Like the safety features and feel they would help protect my family in the event of an accident. It's nice to have these features standard on the Sonata because they aren't found in most cars in the same price range."
"I have a disability and all around vehicle safety is a major consideration. I must feel safe in a vehicle. I need to know that in a minor accident I would not sustain additional damage from lack safety features. I felt completely safe in the Hyundai Sonata even before all the safety features were explained."
"I have a 14 year old daughter who will be driving soon. This is a car I would feel safe in her driving!"
"I questioned the sale representative about the safety features because as a mother and a grandmother I want to make sure that my child, any of my child's friends, and my grandchild would be safe in this car. Safety of my family is very important to me as a parent and grandparent. What I found out convinced me that this was a very safe vehicle to drive and one I would trust my family too."
"Not only does this car exceed my safety expectations for protecting me & my family, but it also helps protect other drivers should an accident occur by the break-away motor mounts for one example. I cannot rave enough about the excellent job the engineers did designing this car."
"I would feel safer just knowing that all those air bags were there to protect my family. After the salesman explained how the seat is designed to hold you in the event of a crash, I was very impressed with how important safety is to Hyundai."
