I was the ex owner of sonata yf 2011. Decided to trade off last yr nov.
The aircon not blowing cold air is normal due to cbu from korea wth heater & the sunroof absorbed too much heat. U need atleast 10-15min in order to cool down the temp esp if the car parked under the sun or even in super warm days. Nothing really wrong unless after 20-15min still hot.
I resolved this by adding 2nd layer of tinted glass on top of ori tinted! The car cooled after 5 min thereafter.
Not much problem wth this car actually except irritating sound from the sunroof mechanical parts & also the doors' covers sound.

QUOTE(kluseng @ Feb 29 2016, 11:30 AM) Cabin take longer time to cool down is OK but if you can't feel any cold air at all the compressor is probably konk, agree? How much did you trade in your 2011 Sonata? That's why I said hv to wait till 10min to confirm. It's like that ever since I got the car in 2011. Only after i double tinted, I managed to reduce to 5 min Rm58k to trade off. Reason: getting huge discount on year end sales for camry hybrid. And my current far away work place incurred too much of $$ on fuel. This post has been edited by stimix: Feb 29 2016, 11:41 AM

QUOTE(andrekua2 @ Mar 1 2016, 08:34 AM) Been driving Japanese all these years. I can only say the Sonata feel more solid over Camry (office had a camry hybrid, and a 2.0). Perhaps that would also mean its heavier as well. Im not really sure if I got used to it compared to Camry which I drove only a few times, but I do think the driving dynamics is better on the Sonata. Sonata outlook still good. However as u agreed, the peryy sound from the sunroof, seats & even door panels and lastly also suspension sound pissed me off. On the soft suspension, I cannot connent bcos I switched to 18" rim & feel too hard pulak haha. Anyway, my new camry hybrid, the suspension just nice. Not hard & too soft. Just ngam-ngam. Handling also surpringlt good comparing to sonata without 18". Look probably not as good as sonata but the ride is superply quiet since it's a hybrid. Infact the most quiet car I ever ride so far + no vibration at all vs sonata or even my older honda civic fd. This post has been edited by stimix: Mar 1 2016, 03:32 PM
