2002 Hyundai Sonata GLS review from North America
"Best car on the market in its price range."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had no problems with the Sonata.
General comments?
I loved this car!
It had enough power to safely merge with traffic and even take a car off the line every now and then.
Very comfortable, smooth ride.
A lot of very nice features for the price, like fog lamps, sun roof, power windows, heated mirrors etc.
Very heavy on safety features! 4 wheel anti lock disk breaks, traction control, side air bags.
My wife was in a very bad car wreck in this car, the other car disintegrated. The Sonata was totaled but held up incredibly well. The side airbags and integrity of the Sonata allowed my wife to be able to walk away from the wreck. The other driver was not so lucky. We were so impressed with how well the Sonata held up that we bought another one to replace it.
