A Real Value
The Hyundai Sonata is an excellent choice in the mid size sedan category. The build quality and reliability is excellent; as for price, it is below the competition like the Honda Accord & Toyota Camry. Its real world fuel economy is superior to both and the base 2.4 liter engine is responsive and very smooth. The steering is the best I have experienced on any vehicle I have ever owned and I have owned many, including several Honda Accords. It is perfectly weighted and rock solid, without needing the constant small corrections to stay centered in the driving lane. It provides very predictable handling, even if you should experience the necessity of an emergency maneuver. I routinely experience highway fuel economy in the 36mpg range at 70-75 mph. The interior is nicely laid out with convenient control placement and a nice instrument panel with good lighting adjustment. My only concern is with the comfort and support of the front seat. The seating area is a little too small and could be better bolstered; it is definitely narrower than the Accord I previously owned. That said, the Sonata is an excellent car overall and one that is likely not to let you down.
