2009 Hyundai Sonata GLS review from North America
"Try it before you buy something else! Great car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No issues.
General comments?
This is truly a wonderful car. Personally, I think the body style is much nicer than the Camry or Accord. I've had several Honda's and one Toyota. Overall very good cars. The Sonata is every bit as good in overall construction, ride, handling and performance, maybe better.
I was a bit skeptical about buying my first Hyundai, but I'm so glad I chose it over the Toyota or Honda. The overall build quality and attention to detail are evident. Also, the car feels rock solid and quiet at highway speeds. Even with the four cylinder I have no issues with power. The interior materials also appear to be of a higher quality than the other two.
Other cars owned over the years include Mercedes and several Volvo's. Before you spend your dollars on a Honda, Nissan or Toyota, at least take a Sonata for a test drive. I'm betting you will be impressed.
