Overall, A Great Car
I have owned the Sonata for 5 months and drive less than most people. Quite roomy interior and trunk as compared to other similar sized vehicles. Great acceleration for a 4-cylinder. In my opinion, the extra initial cost for the turbo model is not necessary, plus adds maintenance cost. Still has that clicking sound from engine compartment at idle, but I'm trying different brands of gas to see if it makes a difference. Everyone that rides in it says it's a great ride, but I think the ride is harsh. Electric-assist (adjustable) steering allows car to wander all over the road. Must use "sport" setting on highway to keep the car under control. Other settings are okay elsewhere. As with other cars, the view through the rear window is limited as compared to older cars. The backup camera is a great help for backing, but the lighting of the camera view could be better. I would buy this car again, but will probably get a later model when I do trade.
