2008 Hyundai Sonata SE review from North America
"Good Value and in Line with the competition"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Car is still very new, no problems so far. Being an owner of two prior Hyundai's (1 2001 Elantra & 1 2003 Sonata) I don't anticipate many problems. Plus just about everything is covered, so I'm not to worried.
General comments?
The car is a good value for the money. It's style is in line with today's cars, the overall quality is good (it seems to get better and better with each model year). The handling is a bit blah, but for city driving it's perfectly fine, just not a car that you are dying to take out on a winding road and push a little.
