Great sedan. Very comfortable with exceptional mileage.
The Sonata Hybrid is great. I drove a different hybrid previously so know how to maximize fuel economy. A lot of coasting to stops, planned, gentle braking and gentle acceleration are key. Display makes it easy to see hard hard you are pushing the gas engine or draining the battery. The ride is surprisingly comfortable. A friend that drivers new Bmers likes my ride better. He says mine is quieter. The car has plenty of acceleration to get on the interstate with its 80mph speed limit. The battery assist with hard acceleration is key to this. Can't speak to the gas only model. The controls are intuitive. There are a lot of them, but I was in no hurry to try to learn everything, all at once. Just like my other hybrid, I get the best mileage in spring and fall. Summer is ok and winter is much lower, probably because of reduced battery performance. The winter driving is not great until the roads are plowed. If you don't have snow and ice, it would be great. The ABS and traction control just don't make up for the poor traction of the supposedly "All Season" tires. I hope they come out with an AWD model. The intelligent driving assistance is great. Lane keep, blind spot vehicles lane change warning, front distance hold when using cruise, accident avoidance all are amazing. Mine has the full sky light window. Nice when it's not to hot or cold. I did have an issue with the oil plug loosening but the dealer took care of it. I put 5 for "Fun to drive" because driving is a fun activity for me, more of a chore. It's not burdensome with this vehichle...
