1991 Hyundai Sonata GLS 4dr Sedan
When I bought this car I could see the look on some people's faces ( junk ). But I was hopeful and up to the challenge to prove them wrong . The car has been very good to me and never gave me any serious or expensive trouble . It still holds its original paint and looks good . 272000 k and still going strong . It still does everything it did when it was new and I plan to keep it until it … dies . It is driven winter and summer every year shows absolutely no rust and has no holes in the underbody . The person who does my annual safety inspection cannot believe it year after year saying you should sell this car back to Hyundai . I did offer , they declined . So I dont know what else I could ask for

1990 Hyundai Sonata GLS 4dr Sedan
This car has always started for me and
has been reliable. But for some reason
the engine has become a OIL BURNER. I
feel that this pre-mature for a car
that only has 93000 miles. Perhaps the
4 CYL engine was not appropiate for the
Sonata. The power windows don't
operate very well.

1990 Hyundai Sonata GLS 4dr Sedan
My 1990 Hyundai Sonata was a disaster.
This car totally sucked. Every part of
this car malfunctioned just after it
went out of warranty -- including the
battery and the stereo system. I spent
more time in the service department for
this car than I did going to the
grocery store every week. *SIGH*
