The user is confident with this Sonata so he made the booking even without knowing the price. |

QUOTE(kevin23 @ Jul 14 2010, 11:57 PM) No offense,but this is just my opinion on the new Sonata. Went to glenmarie showroom last week and sat and test drove the new sonata. IMHO,the interior quality is way way way below that of the Japs.Somehow,it just felt not solidly put together especially the center dash. The leather seats were of very low quality.Just by looking at it,I could feel that the leather was those cheapo type. The seat was those cheap soft sponge type.So basically not much support .Once you sit on it,the seat kinda goes down way too much. Then we go to the exterior of the car.THe car looks great in pictures and in brochures,but when you see it in real life,can really see the reallife quality.The chrome section on the front looks good in pictures but in real life,its just a cheap looking chrome piece .Compare that side by side with a chrome from a Jap make and you can see the big difference. Then i test drove the 2.4.Honestly speaking,the power was ok but somehow dint have the surge or the exhilliration of driving a Mazda 6 or a Camry 2.4.In short, it was just a boring 2.4 short of character compared to Jap rivals. Steering felt ok,but overall experience I just felt that I was sitting in another cheap Korean car.The interior design just dint cut it for me.It felt old and does not feel like a RM 160k++ car. Korean cars are becoming better and better ,thats a fact,but still no where near the Jap rivals IMHO in terms of quality,interior design & engine technology. If the whole world has only the Hyundai Sonata and I had spare cash lying around,would I buy the Sonata? Its a definate NO . bro, how bout the panoramic moon roof?? |

Well it looks quite beautiful. Topgear malaysia mag (october) had reviewed it.
they say: "has a very impressive shape and design, and very comfortable to ride in. Drive is an altogether different story that does not end well". They also quoted: while the engine is smooth revving, it's speed does not pick up as quickly as you would expect. the car also feels like it is floating rather than firmly planted on the tarmac. It is capable of taking corners, but still the Sonata is not the choice car if you want a spirited drive. It just score a poor 11/20 marks. So maybe it isn't just nice to drive as the japs. Perhaps better top up somemore and take the Accord.You won't regret. Even if you got 200hp car, a 170 hp car can surpassed you if your power delivery is poor. that is the case with the sonata. Eventough it got the highest power output in it's class, the power delivery is the poorest in it's class. my 10 cent |

Yeah Ford has produced great handling cars so far. If you got much $, better go for the Mondeo. Don't buy Sonata. All of that is just an eye candy.
