2007 Hyundai Sonata Limited review from North America
"Bargain for the price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing.
General comments?
Thought this brand was awful. Would not even consider buying one. Just for laughs, I took one out for a test drive - I drove the Sonata Limited and bought it on the spot.
I have owned Honda's and Toyota's and have loved the reliability and resale value of each. To be honest, I will worry about the resale value later – it’s just a matter of time and getting more of these on the road, so that people know what it is. Then the resale value will keep going up.
Lots of people have asked me what type of car it was and made positive comments about the color and the styling (mine is black). The only thing I would like is better adjustments on the seats (like the 95 Ford SHO’s or Recaro’s).
I think on the Limited Edition, the tires should be something like 255-50-17’s from the factory. It handles just fine with what came on the car, but the tires look small.
So far, the car has run great and I have had no problems. I dumped the original factory oil before I even took it off the dealer’s lot, changed to Amsoil 0-30 oil.
FYI the car will really go 135 MPH as the report in Autoweek verified, not bad for stock out of the box.
