How long do Hyundai Sonatas last?

I’m looking for a new car, and the Hyundai Sonata caught my eye. I think it’d be perfect, but I keep hearing about how it’s unreliable. For exactly how many years should a Hyundai Sonata last?

The
Hyundai Sonata
is known for its reliability and low maintenance costs, making it one of the longest-lasting cars on the market. In fact, Sonatas are typically known to last for anywhere from 200,000 to 250,000 miles. Some people have even reported their Sonata lasting for well over 300,000 miles.
Since the average American drives about 15,000 miles a year, it’s fair to say your Hyundai Sonata should last for about 13 to 17 years. Of course, your car will only last that long if you put in the proper car maintenance.
Cars may hold up fairly well over time, but they’re only machines. Without regular care, your vehicle is likely to fall apart before too long. Here are a few key car maintenance activities to help you understand what a good maintenance schedule entails:
  • Change air filters
  • Check hoses and belts
  • Replace and flush fluids
  • Rotate tires
  • Change sparkplugs
Remember, keeping to a strict maintenance schedule can help you keep your Hyundai Sonata in top shape for as long as possible. But all the maintenance in the world can’t protect you from car accidents. To make sure you always have the means to repair your Sonata, use the
