I just wish that the GPS used on a cellphone would chime through while listening to the radio. That is a little annoying not being able to hear directions while jamming to your favorite tunes.

Owner Review

My new Hyundai Sonata Hybrid is a terrific value for the money. It has most all of the accessories that are included on more expensive vehicles. It gets great mileage and is fun to drive. It has all the power and acceleration that I would want.
