Just bought this (black with beige leather interior) for 13k with only 29k miles! Took it to my mechanic before I purchased and everything was good. Just need a change of tires. Talk about a bang for your buck!
Hey man, how's the car treating you? I'm in the market for one of these models, could you give me any pointers on one? If you're willing to sell please let me know.
Great review. Very detailed. Our 2013 Mercedes ML350 also has the auto hold feature and I'm very happy to see it here. It's also in the Kia Optima and some Hondas too now. Thanks for the video.
Still have it a year in ? Still like it ? 6 months and about 6500 miles in and still no regrets. I like your phone dock. Since I generally just stand my phone up in that spot, I'm considering taking the console off and drilling small holes in that nook and in the cubby where the power ports are - rubber grommet the holes - and run my charger and USB cable straight into the bottom of that hole. Basically a straight shot from power port to the bottom of that hole so the cords aren't all over the shifter area. Love the Android Auto. Downloaded the nav update with Apple Car Play a couple of months ago but the other half (iPhone user) now has a new car and barely ever touches mine lol. The brief time we tried it, Android Auto voice recognition seems way better.
Do you know anything about the car play app that lets u connect your iPhone and texts messages to the screen? I have the same car and thought it had that but apparently it needs to updated or downloaded by the dealer? Someone help!!!
I have 2015 sonata 20t limited sport. Drove a 2015 nissan murano platinum awd $46000 yesterday and like my sonata much better. comfort, drive ability, features, just everything about the sonata seemed better. The nissan dealer was surprised I did not like their car as much. I know they are different vehicles, so please do not say so.
I also have the same car. Bought it about a month ago. Love the car very much. Handles the road much better than the Toyota Avalon I traded. The voice command on Hyundai works much better than the Toyota system, which never did recognize my voice. The only issue I have encountered on my Sonata is when I do remote start with Blue Link, sometimes the Lane departure warning system does not work. If i shut down and restart it will work again. Had a similar issue on another Hyundai with remote start in that it would sometimes not turn on the dash lights. I think it is an awesome car and the fuel economy is great. Best audio system ever!!!
Have the same exact car. Any issues with paint chipping. mine is a month old and already have paint chipping (probably rocks) on the front bumper, hood and gas cap edge. Not sure what I can do if any to prevent it. Also, anyone has an idea when Apple car play will be available?
I have a very small about the size of a pin head on my hood. You can't see it unless pointed out and if you really close in the right light. Don't think it was a rock though. I am waiting for them to come out with the pen for my color, and will use that so it won't rust.
I have a 2015 sonata and have had the panel on the side of the driver's seat break loose from the seat three times. The dealer has replaced the panel twice and I'm hoping they will do it again. Is this a problem others have had. I'm not overweight and I don't do anything abusive to the panel. Please advise.
Hello I plan to purchase this exact vehicle next month. What would you say are some specific pros and cons of this vehicle you have experienced since you've owned it for so long? (Ex: maintenance issues, mechanical problems, tech problems) I would greatly appreciate a response. Thank you!
hi I have a question I have the same car as you just - black and white on the outside now what I have learned is on both sides of my rear quarter panels where the mud flappers I can move it inward and outward its just loose and I have gone to the dealership and other ones were the same way I was just wondering if yours is that way because I have never seen a lower quarter panel that wiggle the way mine does
The problem with using POIs from the car navigation system is that POIs like restaurants come and go quite quickly. There will be a ton of restaurants and other businesses that have opened and closed since the last time the car nav database was finalized. This will happen even if you live in an old area where new streets are not being built every year. You have to buy another map update next year that will already be out of date before you install the update.
Very nice car, and the color is stunning for the Sonata. I am thinking of trading in my Accord Sport for a Sonata Limited. What would make your car perfect is 10% tint on your windows.
Hi i have a question about this radio or navigation system, do you know the model or part number or something like that of this radio or nav system ????
Did you tell Hyundai to get rid of the CD Player? I just bought a 2018 Sonata Limited 2.0T, and there isn't one in it! I wonder if there is any quality lost when converting the CDs to MP3? Love the car...
So you talk about disengaging the emergency parking brake. Also if you press the brake and push the button down it also disengages the parking brake. I have one in my f150 and that’s the ONLY way to do it in my truck. I wish it would disengage when you put it into gear.
Very informative. Do you know and are you able to explain the TAG icon that is seen on the top. I have the 2016 and it is not highlighted to use--although I swear I have seen it once or twice. Thanks.
Hey great videos I'm going to get one of these prob in the shale gray but I wanted to know does your car have the heated steering wheel?? Or is that only an option for the limited only by I want the limited 2.0T like yours
Pretty good video, but wondering if the car has any interaction via the display when it is sync'd with your phone and you receive a text message. I know GM cars have the feature where the car will read you a text while driving, and give you options to reply via the screen. Does this car offer it also?
Oh ok dang wish it did but the 2.0T will be worth not having the heated steering wheel And great I'm glad its premium so hopefully the seats are more comfortable than my current 12' sonata gls
Hey Hexen! Are you getting the engine buzzing HPFP noise that a lot of people are experiencing over at the hyundai forums? Actually, if you could do a vid on the engine running from the engine bay and interior it would be great!
***** I do hear a slight "buzz" on initial cold startup while in my garage, but it goes away after about 10-20 seconds. You have to be outside the car to hear it, I rarely hear it inside the cabin. I think its a normal GDi thing what im hearing. I'm doing a driving video on it soon, and will touch on these issues. Stay tuned to my channel for updates!
Thanks for the reply! I have a couple videos up of my 2.0t Limited exhibiting the buzz. A little disappointed it's not as throaty as yours but at least it gets drowned out by the radio, unlike some of the other unfortunate owners.
***** I put another video of it just idling. Im not sure if its the buzzing sound people are getting? Remember this is amplified becuase the hood is up. In the cabin and out side the car i hear nothing.. ua-cam.com/video/T8HZNokm5K8/v-deo.html
You get all the technology, panoramic sunroof. Quad exhaust tips. It's basically the sport with the Ultimate Package. They just rebranded it to the Limited and changed the design of the rims.
jaymania82 currently I have 73k on it. No issues at all mechanically. I did however a year ago bring it in for a sunroof adjustment as it would squeak a bit. Other than that, it’s been great. Sound system is top notch as well.
+Hexen302 Thats amazing! i used truecar.com for tampa area and was able to get 28k from a 34.7k msrp, but taxes and registration etc brought it up to 31k. And the finance guy showed me on his computer screen that they sold it to me at a loss - like 2.7k below the invoice price... But you did even better than me!
+WaArTeZz Surely not. The msrp on my car (it came with some manufacture-installed options) was 34,705 (inc freight delivery fee) and with the dealer-installed options (lifetime tinted windows, wheel locks, decor stripes etc), it came up to 36k. Of course nobody would pay that "suggested" price. What I said was I ended up paying around 28k and the dealer showed me that it was even way below their "invoice" price. Just thought i got a good deal but maybe other people did even better than that.
+Hexen302 listen to your video it helped a lot I have features I didn't know I had the navigation system is what I'm most interested in will be leaving town soon.
Best value ever.. I love my 2015 Sonata Limited. More safety gadget's than our 335I My first Sonata 2001 I passed on and is still running great.
I just bought this car on Wednesday and I love it and this video helped me so much thanks!
+Dave Underwood Its a 2015 Sonata Limited 2.0T Fully Loaded
+Dave Underwood total price? and down-payment?
+Dave Underwood rosacasto
How is it holding up so far ?
Bought the same car 2 months ago black on black and love it. Great value for the money. Same equipped accord Mazda 6 etc. almost 10k more
How do you like your car now is it still solid I'm about to get one 56k on it I would really like to know your opinion it will help.. Thanks
East17A i have a 2011 one. only had an issue with the turbo once. after that i had no manor concerns with the vehicle
Thanks so much for this video! I just purchased the 2015 Sonata Sport and it includes the Tech package. This video helps so much! Happy Holidays!
Just bought this (black with beige leather interior) for 13k with only 29k miles! Took it to my mechanic before I purchased and everything was good. Just need a change of tires. Talk about a bang for your buck!
Just bought the same car Saturday, but in white.
Hey man, how's the car treating you? I'm in the market for one of these models, could you give me any pointers on one? If you're willing to sell please let me know.
Got one just like it, same color and all. Love it, would hate to sell.

Hi , I'm planning to buy this used vehicle with 117k miles, how's it performing now???
Same man did you end up buying it?

I bought my sonata at the Nissan dealer 😆😁
Great video man!!

Any updates? still have the car?
So once you put in a location it will tell you where to go and you can see what roads to turn onto correct?
Have the same exact car. Any issues with paint chipping. mine is a month old and already have paint chipping (probably rocks) on the front bumper, hood and gas cap edge. Not sure what I can do if any to prevent it. Also, anyone has an idea when Apple car play will be available?

Hexen302 same here. that's looks like the only option cause rock dings are going to happen. will touch up as well when the pen is available.
What is the vin number on the SD map card ? I’m tryna buy one because my Hyundai came without out and i don’t want to get the wrong card
usb down below is for data transfer not charging
Is what types of Pandora stations do you like to listen to?
I have a 2015 sonata and have had the panel on the side of the driver's seat break loose from the seat three times. The dealer has replaced the panel twice and I'm hoping they will do it again. Is this a problem others have had. I'm not overweight and I don't do anything abusive to the panel. Please advise.
Haha same and on the drivers seat as well! Fixed it once and it broke loose again. Any chance you ever found a permanent fix please?
I have the same model 15 sonata also. Has any of you downloaded the new in car apps like curfew , speed limits and drive area?
Hello I plan to purchase this exact vehicle next month.
What would you say are some specific pros and cons of this vehicle you have experienced since you've owned it for so long? (Ex: maintenance issues, mechanical problems, tech problems)
I would greatly appreciate a response. Thank you!
Excellent review. Thanks!
Hi i'm in iraq i have difficulty with sonata how to restore it back to possible program possible help
Wow really nice interior for the money.
Thanks. It's holding up really well
I have this car this year and really like this vidéo very helpful. 🙏🏽🙏🏽2020
do you plan on selling it in 2022?
hi I have a question I have the same car as you just - black and white on the outside now what I have learned is on both sides of my rear quarter panels where the mud flappers I can move it inward and outward its just loose and I have gone to the dealership and other ones were the same way I was just wondering if yours is that way because I have never seen a lower quarter panel that wiggle the way mine does
Mines the same. I think it's just very flimsy plastic they use. I notice it when im washing the car and you can push them in.
TechOn4Wheels does the car have led interior lighting,apple and Android car play also how is the sound system
Thug9030 yes on all. Sound system is the infinity sound system. Sounds fantastic.
TechOn4Wheels I appreciate the reply I may purchase one tomorrow possibly

I agree. That's why I use Google Maps instead.
+chancy319 now you can use android auto with Google maps(:
Very nice car, and the color is stunning for the Sonata. I am thinking of trading in my Accord Sport for a Sonata Limited. What would make your car perfect is 10% tint on your windows.
amazing review
Hi i have a question about this radio or navigation system, do you know the model or part number or something like that of this radio or nav system ????
Good review. Thanks mate.
Awesome in depth review, tx
Did you tell Hyundai to get rid of the CD Player? I just bought a 2018 Sonata Limited 2.0T, and there isn't one in it! I wonder if there is any quality lost when converting the CDs to MP3? Love the car...
That's a pretty rare orange color.
So you talk about disengaging the emergency parking brake. Also if you press the brake and push the button down it also disengages the parking brake. I have one in my f150 and that’s the ONLY way to do it in my truck. I wish it would disengage when you put it into gear.
Is it possible to display the next navigation instruction in the trip computer? (Ex 3.5mi turn right)
Yes and it works really well. I will be showing it in my "driving video" along with my Android Auto look.
hii i really like hyundai sonsta 2015 i wanna know how much and per month i can pay how much
Very informative. Do you know and are you able to explain the TAG icon that is seen on the top. I have the 2016 and it is not highlighted to use--although I swear I have seen it once or twice. Thanks.
can u make a video 2016 hyundai tucson limited ?
And thanks for the quick response
How's has the car help us for you thus far?
Very helpful video
Thats my car in picture above :)
Does the traction control remember the last setting?
Oh And how soft is the leather does it feel closer to Napa leather or imitation leather
Leather is premium and oy the rounded steering wheels get heated. Not available on D cut.
+Hexen302 I have a dcut wheel with heat................
Thanks for the video. Very informative. I am considering purchasing that exact model.
Hey great videos I'm going to get one of these prob in the shale gray but I wanted to know does your car have the heated steering wheel?? Or is that only an option for the limited only by I want the limited 2.0T like yours
Thank you dude

Oh ok dang wish it did but the 2.0T will be worth not having the heated steering wheel
And great I'm glad its premium so hopefully the seats are more comfortable than my current 12' sonata gls
Do you still have this car. Selling?
Yes. I still have it. Still looks and runs like new. 140k miles on it. I am giving it to my son. He turns 18 in May. I’m getting a Stinger GT2.

Thanks for posting the vid! Gives us a good benchmark on how our engines should be sounding.
does it have a apple car play
Jalissa Rollins yes it had both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
what is extra in limited? Hexen302
You get all the technology, panoramic sunroof. Quad exhaust tips. It's basically the sport with the Ultimate Package. They just rebranded it to the Limited and changed the design of the rims.
im looking at this car to buy used, but how do you like that car and any issues? also what is the sound system and if premium how does it sound?
jaymania82 currently I have 73k on it. No issues at all mechanically. I did however a year ago bring it in for a sunroof adjustment as it would squeak a bit. Other than that, it’s been great. Sound system is top notch as well.
thank you very much and love the detail in your video
What did you pay for it OTD?
$28,900

And the finance guy showed me on his computer screen that they sold it to me at a loss - like 2.7k below the invoice price... But you did even better than me!
No. I got it from the dealer below true car price.
+tpl nobody pays msrp for these cars, the dealers are selling them with big discounts
+WaArTeZz Surely not. The msrp on my car (it came with some manufacture-installed options) was 34,705 (inc freight delivery fee) and with the dealer-installed options (lifetime tinted windows, wheel locks, decor stripes etc), it came up to 36k.

Undecided between this an the optima sx 2015-2016
No heated seats?
Yes it has heated and cooled seats in the front and heated seats in the back
+Hexen302 listen to your video it helped a lot I have features I didn't know I had the navigation system is what I'm most interested in will be leaving town soon.
you need a new map updates
My maps are just fine.. Google maps updates quite frequently.
+Hexen302 if your map is different than this then you need an updates www.mapnsoft.com/hyundai/map-updates/2015-hyundai-sonata-map-update.html
I made a video of the 2016 Sonata sport tech as well! Check out my newly launched channel!
They burn oil!!!!
Is it a good car? Im thinking of getting one
