Hi,

I just purchased a used 2014 Sonata Hybrid Limited.

I had a 2001 Ford Focus that was a solid ride, but it was getting the rust cancer that was slowly eating away its underside. Other than that it was giving me 33 MPG even with 260,000 miles. Most things were still original (suspension, transmission - manual, etc.) But the writing was on the wall that I'd have to part with it soon.

I've been researching hybrids for about a year now and kept gravitating back to the Sonata. I wanted something that would at least match or beat the MPG I was getting with the Focus. Although I would have preferred to get a 2015 or newer (for the Apple Carplay upgrade potential), the price of those were still above my means. When this 2014 popped up it caught my attention and I was able to snag it at a lower than asking price.

I'm still working through my first tank of gas so it's hard to know exactly how it's performing. I'm still getting used to several of its features and will be making an appointment soon to take it to a local dealer for my first service and to see what it might be missing (I already know it needs the underbody corrosion recall work done).
