2003 Hyundai Sonata LX review from North America
"A Jag without the badge"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong with the car.
General comments?
The car drives better then most cars costing $15,000 more.
The seats are comfortable and the ride is smooth and quiet.
The standard Michelin tires are top quality.
Attention to detail such as hydraulic assisted hood and trunk opening, hardware mounted with bolts rather than plastic clips, shows affinity for build quality rather than cost savings.
The V6 is smooth and provides more seat of the pants torque than other V6's we drove that have similar ratings.
We chose this car over the Volvo S60, Saab 93 and Saturn L300.
Dealer experience was the best I've ever encountered.
