Well, here we are, 100k miles on my 2015 Hyundai Sonata SE. Bought it February of 2017 with 52k miles and have been very happy with it so far. I'll list some pros and cons below.
Pros:
-Great highway cruiser. A month ago I drove to Vegas and back in one day, just over 700 miles.
-Comfortable. This is the reason I bought it, I'm tall and have a bad back, there's tons of leg room front and back. I can actually sit in the back seat! That's with the driver's seat all the way back. Can't do that in a 2016 Avalon without slouching.
-Reliable. The only repair I've had done is replacing both driver's side CV boots because one was starting to tear. 2 OEM boots installed for $217.
Cons:
-Fuel economy on the highway is very dependent on how you drive. I'm no granny, so somewhat aggressive and 75+ on the highway gets around 33 mpg or so.
-Transmission programming has it lug around for fuel economy. Eh, whatever, I just put my foot down when needed.
Other Stuff:
-28.6 mpg. Here's my Fuelly for every fill up and other info on it:

-Only other maintenance I've done is synthetic oil changes every 6-7k miles, recently a new set of tires, this week I had my mechanic do 2 drain and fills of the transmission with MaxLife, a battery at 3-1/2 years old (pretty darn good for Phoenix), brakes front and rear at 92k (originals would have made it to 100k but it was a good time to change them), spark plugs, and some headlight bulbs. Oh, and the air filter.
