The Sonata is hands down my favorite sedan for 2018. Hyundai dealers are known to give good discounts, so the money you save with the Camry's better gas mileage is more than made up for by a much lower Sonata real world cost. I love the German designed style of the Sonata and their reliability is now rated as good as or better than Honda. I hate the Toyota styling on almost all of their new "edgy" vehicles. I don't want a car as ugly as the Camry or Corolla to last for 20 years. I want a German designed, Korean built sedan that is a work of industrial art, not an evil looking cartoon character car from another planet.

That trim level is offered by my local dealership with a $6, 200 discount off MSRP. You won't find a Camry or an Accord with that kind of discount. I personally own a 2015 Sonata. For the price and features, the 2018 is a great value. Drive it hard and keep it in the family and you won't have to be concerned with depreciation being a factor.

the Koreans are stepping up their automotive game

Looks to be a great car. Interior room and cargo space make a huge difference in everyday use, and this looks to have plenty.

I've seen the car in person. The more I look at it the more I grow to like it. Still like the front of my '17 Sonata Hybrid better but the rear on the '18 looks sleeker.

Dave, your reviews are always topnotch. You're truly a gem in a sea of bad car reviewers on Youtube.

just picked my 2018 Sonata SEL up the other day! Loving it, it's got everything I need and it drives great.

i have a 2015.. i love it.... i can say that cause 116, 000 miles later, , no issues at all..
another big bonus, spare tire area holds a full size tire with a stock rim on it.... no more small spare for me....

[medellon]

Always enjoy your reviews Dave, regardless of the car.

[stonecold]

Gorgeous, and not too much fluff like the ugly Camry.

Solid review Dave! I love my 2008 Sonata, when she finally kicks it, I think a good hard look at the 2018 Eco is on my list!

I have the 2.0T
Bought one 2 months ago
It has a 8 speed auto for the turbo
I have the options except navi

The 2.4 engine performs very well for a car this big.

[PartyUpLive]

Looks nice. Have their been any issues with the GDI Engine that they are using?

[rodneymolidorjr.]

Hyundai is getting a better and better reputation. I sure am glad we have another option besides the Japanese and American cars. It's really impressive where they have come since that old junky Excel.

Thank you for this video...seriously considering this vehicle, the Sport edition.

I used to sell Hyundai back in 2011-2013 and just got my first one.. 2018 Sonata sport 2.0T.. Black on black.. nice sporty ride, and Hyundai had tons of rebates. I drove a 2015 Mazda 6 for last three years. I would recommend both cars.. I totaled the Mazda last month and would go back to it.. but the new 2.5T in the Mazda 6 was too exp. With the rebates you cant beat the value of the new Sonata turbo!

I have the 2017 sonata sport. Great, comfortable and beautiful car. Camry is overrated because Toyota doesn't want to cater to buyers like me by offering Android auto. I average 35 mpg on eco mode, similar to what I was getting with my 2014 Mazda 3 sport. I'm pretty stoked and plus the great warranty.

Thank you for mentioning the lack of map pocket behind driver seat. I don’t know why some cars don’t have it. My OCD kicks in and it’s not practical or symmetrical

I watched both this report by Dave Erickson and that of the Mazda 6 and came away disillusioned about his reports You can tell that he is biased against the Sonata although he finds no real fault with it. Consider some of what he said: That the Sonata is a good 'commuter car' indicates that he thinks the Mazda 6 is something else. That is a negative comment. The exterior straight line design of the Sonata is refined compared to the Mazda 6 which design reveals a sagging line aft of the front fender. The dashboard is far more elegant in the Sonata as are the steering wheel mounted controls. Sonata uses well-marked piano type switches, Mazda has a few old-fashioned push-in switches. The opened hood on the Mazda is held in place with a steel rod, hydraulic cylinders on the Sonata. You can get side window shades from Sonata, not from Mazda. Bright metal exhaust tips on Sonata, hack-sawed exhaust pipes on Mazda. Sonata has an unequaled warantee. Sonata's prices are lower on each of its cars however similarly equipped. I also noticed that Dave told us that the front, side and rear of the Sonata are all new. We know that Mazda style was introduced 3 years ago. What's going on, Dave?
