2004 Hyundai Sonata Base review from North America
"Best Bang for the Buck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing!!! It has a little wind noise in the drivers side, but that is the only minor annoyance.
General comments?
We love the car, we bought it because we where spending a lot of money trying to repair our old cars. We bought this car mainly for the warranty, and where surprised at the confort, quality and value for the money. The base model comes equiped with all the necessities. I love the automatic transmission mode where you can shift as if it was a stick without a clutch, and that comes standard in all of them. The best thing was that we paid $13700 for it out the door.
