Greed. Also lack of government initiative to push for passenger safety unlike other countries. Lastly additional costs to P1 and P2 as you notice their emphasis is not on safety too.
No complaints from raykat because most of them involved in serious accident not around to complain against the company (died in crash). So to prove Malaysians care for their own safety get a car that gives you that. Your purchase can make a difference. |

No traction control? But the spec list for 2.0 high spec has traction control. Only the basic on doesn't have it.

Is pickup compared to Camry or Accord much no different, better or worse?
I just tested the 2.0l sonata today and felt pickup was acceptable for a car of this size. Secondly noisy engine is because its been tuned to reach peak torque earlier but once you start cruising its quiet. Car looks great and finishing is above average. Wish they didn't gimp the center console which is different from the brochure they supplied. |

Ya there is one showroom near ss2. Also there is a showroom in 223 along federal highway. The car in silver looks stunning coupled with the chrome bits.
I think this car has people's head spinning because it looks very attractive esp on the outside but when they look at the price second thoughts creep in the head.  |

I am wondering whether there will be any discount in the near future in the form of:
1. Overtrade/ discount 2. Free service for 3 years like Avante This will make the Sonata more competitive. |

Sonata doesn't have many fans in LYN due to different age group?

QUOTE(Starbucki @ Jul 14 2010, 01:40 PM) I viewed and testdrove the Sonata. Here are my comments: I assume you are comparing with Accord/Camry 2.0? Have you tested those before? What are the differences?Pros 1) Beautiful exterior, especially the fierce but generous front. Futuristic-looking. 2) Has both sunroof and moonroof. Something different from other makes. Cons 1) Interior headroom lacking. Head touches the top when seated at the back. 2) Hard to see the road. Dashboard and front body too long. Strains the eyes when driving. 3) No power. Pick-up very slow and torturous. No joy when stepping on the accelerator. For me, the cons far outweighs the pros. Do try it out yourself. |

That bad huh? I tested the Sonata but yet to test Camry and Accord. Maybe my expectations are lower so it seems fine to me.
