Overall very happy with my 2015 Hyundai Sonata, but don't trust the mileage estimates
Overall I have been very happy with my 2015 Hyundai Sonata Limited. Only two issues have surfaced. The first is the mileage estimate on New Car Window Sticker. My model stated 28 MPG combined city/highway, with 24 in the city and 35 on the highway. Yeah, right! Better chance of me being elected the next Pope. More like 20-22 miles per gallon combined city/highway. The most I ever got was about 25 MPG. I tried to get 30 MPG on Alligator Alley (I-75) in Florida, a nice level road, using cruising control.I couldn't get anywhere near 30 MPG. And using cruise control, we can't blame it on my driving habits. I even turned off the air conditioner to see if I could boost the mileage. Nope! I actually got better mileage on my 1999 Toyota Camry LE. I could actually get in excess of 30 MPG on the highway.
The 2nd issue is the ABS system. I see a lot of complaints online about the rear ABS Wheel Speed Sensors going bad, especially on the Hyundai Sonata and Santa Fe models. Or at least that some part of that system causes the ABS and other warning lights to go on on the dashboard. Hyundai has never owned up to the problem, but I see it gets quite a few mentions on various automobile forums.
Overall, however, my Hyundai Sonata was an excellent value for the money spent, and it has been an extremely reliable vehicle.
