2001 Hyundai Sonata Base review from North America
"It's father was a GT Cup Car and its mother was a Rolls"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power steering pump just starting to whine. Brake pads and rotors went at 11,000 miles (not a design flaw, just a lead foot).
General comments?
Great handling, but front end unloads if you tip it too far, get the lowering kit.
Awesome acceleration.
Seats are more comfortable then my freinds Maxima GLE.
Interior is very well thought out, everything within reach.
No loaner car if something goes wrong.
