2003 Hyundai Sonata LX review from North America
"Great quality and value"
General comments?
I just bought a Sonata LX in aquamarine. Very nice car and I am very happy with my purchase. This is my second Hyundai and I believe I will stick with this brand. I test drove the Camry, Accord, and Ford Fusion. I was impressed with the Accord, but not enough to pay the premium price over the Sonata. I preferred the Hyundai styling and the latest crash test results sealed the deal. It got 5 star ratings (highest ratings possible) in front, side and rear collisions. You can’t argue with those results. I have seen some of the comments posted and can only say that I had my Santa Fe for 3 years and 89K with no problems. Absolutely nothing went wrong with that vehicle. The dealer experience has also been top notch. I believe that Hyundai has designed a great vehicle and has been making significant improvements with every new model. Buyers looking for a good family sedan should certainly consider the Sonata.
