How Durable Is Hyundai Sonata 2013 by segzyndpep(m): 7:59pm On Jun 12, 2017
I love this hyundai sonata but people always tell me it is not strong enough and the resell value is nothing to write home about.
Infact one insist i buy benz e320 2005 or acura TSX 2010 Instead of the sonata..

Please i need advice on which i can go for with reason and most important i want to know things about the sonata.
So hard to make choice right now.

Thanks in advance

Very sweet car. Variable displacement compressor is the Achilles heels of the car. That car has a very good crash test rating. Better than a Camry of same year in crash test ratings.

Mumu A.C, the stupid design would have died out befor the car hits 50,000 KM VDC in general on hyundai/kia is a failure.

Crash test will be ok nah, see as the nose long like train grin

This vehicle comes in several variants. The V6, 2.4liter GDI and 2.4 liter fuel injection. There might be more but those are what I have seen. The fuel injection 2.4liter is repair friendly.

the 2.0 turbo engine (quite rare to see) is a beast. 270hp is what that pencil sharpner of an engine generates. shocked shocked

I beg to disagree. Hyundai is not a failure. I drove the Hyundai Accent 2014 model for at least a year and it was top notch. Even the 2006 model Accent is so strong and rugged. The Accent was regarded as one of the best sedans in its size category beating the Honda civic and Toyota yaris of the same year hands down. Hyundai vehicles are underated here. Moreover, I have driven a lot of Toyota s and Honda etc but funny enough, Hyundai gave me the best driving experience.The only thing I don't like about the recent versions is just the fibre plastic. Aside that, the vehicles are cool and does not deserve this kind of critism even though you may have your reservations.

How many miles did you cover in 1year? That compressor did not make it to 50,000km find out.
Re: How Durable Is Hyundai Sonata 2013 by GAZZUZZ(m): 11:35pm On Jun 12, 2017
older versions of kia/hyundai 05-11 have excellent cooling systems.

I see. Is that the same type of compressor that comes with the 2014 Hyundai Accent? A friend drives the 2006 model and I think his own mileage should be higher. Will ask him.

I used a 2007 rio(same with accent a.c system) I sold it at over 250,000km on same compressor. The older brands are durable.

sorry about your car issue. I think, you should check the car fax of your car, if you did not get it as brand new, The car might be a rebuilt or salvaged car or had bad history from previous owner.

Personally, on the average, i have seen sonata drive over 200k miles or 320k km . i have always driven Japanese cars until this year . i bought sonata se 2017 and it comes with 10yrs or 100k miles warranty, whichever comes first for the drive train. Right now only korean cars can give that kind of incentives

Please, the Honda Civic is not in the same class as the Hyundai Accent or Toyota Yaris on any ground.

You should be comparing Honda Civic to Toyota Corolla and Hyundai Elantra and not the Accent...
