Hyundai hits a 'homer'Source: MSN Autos...The warranty is outstanding; the company obviously is quite confident of the quality of its product. Great warranty on the hybrid battery. Was glad to discover the tilt/telescoping steering wheel, heated rear seats, trunk size, and extra cabin storage areas for sunglasses, tissues, etc. Cons: We honestly do not dislike anything about this vehicle. I did a lot of research on hybrids and models, so we knew what to expect and what to choose. I'm having to adjust from a powerful 6 cyl. Maxima to the hybrid, in terms of power and pickup, but I knew that ahead of time. Overall: Great vehicle!! Has... |

What doesn't it do well?Source: Edmunds...even a Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8...all in the last 4 years. But when the Sonata 2.0T came out, I had to try it. "Impressed" doesn't begin to describe my reaction to this car! For performance it has 274hp on 87 octane. For being green, it gets better mileage than small cars with 1/2 the horsepower (the Mazda 3 comes to mind). For safety, only the BMW 550i is its equal. Styling is niche-appropriate without being me-too. Features for the money, long a Hyundai hallmark, shows up in spades (Bluetooth, XM, power everything, keyless ignition, etc). Looks like a 100,000 mile/ 10 year match made in... |

The Sonata's dramatic styling and three-pronged attack on the mid-size market have worked.
It's now one of the sales leaders and TCC's Best Car To Buy for 2011.
It still competes in a very tough segment with two of the best selling passenger cars, the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord.
The Accord remains very much a Honda in driving feel, even though it's quite a large vehicle now; the Camry's revamped this year for better economy, but the proto-Ford looks and spotty interior neither advance its case or cost it points.
Ford's Fusion and the Mazda6 share some DNA, and both are fun to drive, with excellent road manners making up some for slightly smaller rear-seat space; both have excellent reliability records as well, and the Fusion's Hybrid edition is a gas-mileage leader.
Then there's the Kia Optima: on the spec sheet it's almost identical to the Sonata, but its sleeker styling and slightly beefier handling make it an interesting direct competitor for the Sonata.
