"Couldn't recommend a better value luxury car with such great reliability"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump went at at 56000 miles. that's it!
General comments?
The most comfortable car we have ever driven. Engine is power-full and silent both in town and on the motorway. Having bought our Sonata used we only lost £200 in depreciation during the year in which we owned it. Sonata was cheaper and 'much' more reliable than our noisy Astra Automatic. Air Con. is fantastic even in the hottest of summers. New baby forced us to get an estate car. So we passed on the Sonata to Friends who are delighted with it.
