1997 Hyundai Sonata V6 review from UK and Ireland
"Good value for money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
None.
General comments?
Good all round saloon.
Comfortable and reliable.
High standard of extras.
Tends to steam up inside, but clears with air conditioning.
This can be a problem as it makes the rest of the car interior cold.
I have converted the Sonata to LPG. This works very well with this model and I have had no problems.
Worth considering as LPG is only 35.9 litre. Cost of conversion - £1500.
