So far the car has been great. I had a 2011 Sonata (which is the identical car) and put over 90,000km on it and then traded for the exact same car (a 2013) which now has 36000km. I have had no warrantee work done the either vehicle. full 2013 Hyundai Sonata review |

| 2013 | 4dr Sedan 200-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
It would be unfair to say that this car has been a total lemon because it hasn't but parts have failed on it earlier than I would have expected. I had to replace the high pressure fuel pump at 35,000 miles and the rear O2 sensor at 55,000. I have heard about engine failures in 2011 Sonatas and got a notice that my model year is also included in this recall. It makes me uneasy to have had some of the prior issues and then have to worry about my engine on top of that. full 2013 Hyundai Sonata review |
