2017 Hyundai Sonata Sport: Review

[@johnd2375]

Just got a 2016 Sonata Sport in excellent condition with 48k miles for $10k. Very nice car with many options and great gas mileage and ride quality 👍💯🎯

[@dark7443]

John D that’s such a good deal. I wanna get rid of my 2017 altima for this.

Just picked up the 2017 Hyundai Sonata sport 2.0T. I must say, this is a very fun car to drive. It is affordable with a turbo charge, and honestly feels luxurious. I got mine for 21.5k out the door. Especially with 2018 Sonata coming out soon, this is a great time to buy. I also tested the 2017 camry, 2017 accord, and 2017 Acura ILX, and I drove the 2017 SE sonata. The base sonata felt stronger and faster than the camry and accord, while obviously not faster then the ILX. Straight away I wont talk more about the camry just because everyone knows how the camry is. quiet, reliable, but boring to drive. Now, the accord vs sonata. This was a challenge for me due to them being so close in cabin noise, power, and space inside the cabin. The real thing that got me to choose a sonata or the accord was due to them being so similar, and because I was getting $5000 off msrp. But I decided to go with the 2.0T because honestly, 21.5k for a turbo charge is fantastic. Especially after putting it against the ILX, and accord sport. I found it to be the faster of the 3, and to have the nicest interior/feel. Also, a lot of people are trashing the 2015-2017 sonata due to the loss of horse power on the turbo. While it is actually faster due to the 260 lb of torque coming in sooner. With a 0-60 at 6.3 seconds for 21.5k, backup camera, apple car play and android auto, I was hooked. I have had my car for about a month now and have had no problems whatsoever. Also, the pearl white with tints makes the car look so sporty and perfect. I also get around 20-21 mpg in the city. Which is not bad either.

[@WeKnowTheTruth2012]

I've gotten under 5.5 sec on mine using 93 octane fuel..

[@WeKnowTheTruth2012]

it has much more urge to kick hard at 1st and 2nd gear with 95 octane gas too the power is so instant

[@bolbiitp7850]

Do you know what you said throughout your comment? Due to your essay style comment. I couldn't read after to much explaining on why you chose the sonata, due to your essay style comment. But i think ima get a 2018 sonata sport, due to your praise on the car. I think due is said too much in your comment, due to describing the dues.

I pick up my Sonata Sport this Saturday! $17.7k, I really cannot complain

[@GriffXJ]

I was actually wrong, looked at my pink slip again, it was $17.3k. That's before taxes, tags, fees, etc. It came out to $18.7k out the door.

[@GriffXJ]

1 more day lol. I honestly don't know how much longer these vehicles are going to last. I keep checking the website of dealer that I bought mine at, every day there's less and less listed. There were over 56 2017 Sonatas as of last weekend and they're already down to 43. The one I bought actually had someone looking at it 2 hours before I signed my paperwork, usually dealerships will tell you that BS to get you to buy the car, but I do remember seeing someone take it for a test drive when I was getting into the Elantra I drove. The dealer originally wanted to get me in the car for around $18.6k, but I was able to talk them down to $17.3 on this specific one because it was the oldest one on their lot and they wanted to get rid of it.

[@GriffXJ]

riverstrat yes I am! It drives so smoothly and I'm getting double the gas mileage that me Jeep XJ got. Definitely worth the money. One small complaint, a piece of trim on the driver's side of the windshield is loose and pops up on my car, it's covered under warranty and I just haven't had time to take it in to be fixed yet. Probably just a broken clip

[@GriffXJ]

riverstrat I was able to find one new cheaper than used. I got mine for $17.3k like I mentioned before, I've been seeing used ones with 5x the mileage going for $18k. Keep your eyes out, you can't go wrong with the Optima or Sonata, the price you pay for the features you get is absolutely astonishing and can't be beat

[@GriffXJ]

riverstrat it's good to be safe rather than sorry. Congrats! How do you like it compared to what you've seen with the Sonata?

[@portknoxxa]

Great review and great car. Had my 2017 sport for a week now. I took advantage of HMF $4750 rebate. Outstanding car for 23K.

[@AlwaysBeSmart674]

Hey if you dont mind me asking did you pay 23k after the 4750 rebate? Because im looking to purchase a sport and brand new there asking 16,850 here's the link. www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicledetails.xhtml?listingId=443085464&zip=44139&referrer=%2Fcars-for-sale%2Fsearchresults.xhtml%3Fzip%3D44139%26showcaseOwnerId%3D615961%26minPrice%3D13000%26startYear%3D1981%26sortBy%3DmileageASC%26maxPrice%3D20000%26incremental%3Dall%26firstRecord%3D125%26endYear%3D2018%26searchRadius%3D25&minPrice=13000&startYear=1981&numRecords=25&maxPrice=20000&firstRecord=125&endYear=2018&searchRadius=25&makeCode1=HYUND&modelCode1=SONATA6%20accord%20lx-s

[@portknoxxa]

Almost 8K in rebates. VERY NICE!!

[@GS7093]

I would get rid of that pos deathtrap asap!

[@Envy2Jenevie]

Just got the sport in black too!! We got 6,300 in rebates and the car came out to 19,500. Love this car my bf is 6'8 and fits in the car with a lot of extra space

[@ChibiLily18]

Currently eyeing a 2017 sonata sport 2.4L with a little over 18,000 miles (a little too good to be true, I know), and this is definitely helping with my research. Will comment an update if I decide to move on it

[@dark7443]

How much

[@ChibiLily18]

$14,499 I think but it's not on their site anymore :v

[@dark7443]

ChibiLily22 that’s a amazing deal. There is a 2015 one for sale near me with 19k miles and they are charging 15k

Please review the Honda Civic coupe ex-t with the manual transmission. Really thinking of getting it next year.

[@Smurfizm]

So Question I have the 2017 Sonata 2.0t Sport and I don't have a push button but I've looked a lot of places and it says push but mine uses a key I'm so confused not a big deal I like key more but are there two different models one with key one with push any help would be greatly appreciated.

[@brody9200]

OG Smurfizm I’m pretty sure none of the sport 2.0T models have the push button start. It’s an option as value package on the 2.4L Sport and it’s standard on Limited and Limited 2.0T.

[@Smurfizm]

Brody M okay thank you

[@brody9200]

riverstrat it isn’t. If you go look on auto trader or anything it’s not. I believe for 2018 anything above the SEL trim has push button but for 2017 sport with the value package did and then limited and limited 2.0t.

[@gbengaayoola7365]

Please someone tell me how switch on the running light on sonata sport 2.4L 2017

[@DriveAndBeDriven]

Great review, Gold Pony! I cannot wait until the 2018 model year comes out! With all that to the side... The 2017 Sonata seems like a pretty solid entry in the mid-size sedan segment! 👌 Keep up the great work, Drew! I cannot wait until I can get my hands on the updated 2018 Sonata to conduct my full in-depth car review of! Go, Gold Pony! I will definitely be staying gold! 😉👊🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 -DriveAndBeDriven 🚘 "The Quest To Record The Best!" 📽

[@joesmith6524]

Hyundai should use black interior in all sonatas , just a input here I test drove Altima, accord and sonata sonata best ride!

[@cedricencarnacion991]

i used to have a sonata before, i like the style the power and the space. my car is very well taken care of. but very disappointed on the quality 50k kms the master cylinder failed while im cruising had to replace that. 80kms it burns so much oil to the point that before the 5k oil change the dipstick is already dry.

[@ValuableFather]

That's great looking. I wish they would bring back that burnt orange from 2015.

[@buckogames]

Interesting. My 2017 Sonata Sport 2.4 L comes with leather with cloth inserts. Huh...

[@mastersimonsays]

If it came with a V6 option, I would have hands down bought a Sonata sport.

[@goldpony]

+mastersimonsays haha agree with the V6... For Hyundai's smooth V6 you have to jump up to the Azera or Grandeur if you're outside the U.S.

[@seanquertinmont2760]

I like hyundai but god I wish they'd get rid of that cheap plastic in the interior like on the inside doors

[@toddwilliams3194]

There's only one thing I wish they would have done is offerd it with the v6 as well because I definitely would have picked that model

[@ozlex1937]

How is that lights Displaying like that ?

[@Queen-ib2nl]

Regardless of what kind of camera, LED lights have a reflective flicker

[@everythingautomotiveeta5839]

they missed the boat it appears.... i seen rear door speakers.... and i didnt see rear deck speakers... i could have missed it but i assume the front had mids and then tweeters and the rear door speakers makijg 6..... rear deck 6x9s would have went a long way

[@JosePerez...]

Drew, nice review! Can you review the 2018 Audi A5 Coupe? Jose P. Staying Gold✌🏽

[@theowinosowino5814]

I like this car because it has a bigger gas capacity

[@mmabd4963]

Good car and I have read car

[@rickitysplitz7035]

Cars with weaker engines being priced higher than older more powerful cars. Gas doesn't bother me.

[@JayzBeerz]

The 2.4L Sport is a downgrade from the 2016.

[@everythingautomotiveeta5839]

it had a lot of room and the interior was visually pleasing but the screen was kinda smallish the wheels was tacky and what bothers me is they have projectors but no led or hid lighting i seen halogen. were in 2017 plus it is a safety thing as well as adding a premium feel being its supposed to be the nicer version of thr optima.... not actually very impressed with this car but i suppose for 23k its ok... great video though you always have bomb reviews
