I have read what most of u wrote and it's a lot of crap, this is a sonata thread so stick to the topic, I have tested sonata 2 and 2.4 veer, personally I think the 2.0 is a bit under powered, the rev is a bit louder but when after 2,3rd gear it's smooth..same as 2.4 veer, this car is absolutely striking...it's damn nice ! Interior wise, very nice like European cars...this car will change a lot of opinions....read more, test-drive it then only comment.....otherwise it's all crap...btw..I'm buying the 2.4 waiting list 3 months .

QUOTE(MangO @ Jul 4 2010, 11:16 PM) 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. 2.0 is ok but when starting (pickup) engine rev a bit loud that's all....the technology in this new car is excellent !... |

sime darby is giving 5 yrs or 300,0000km warranty...so i think u r well covered....the only complain i have is our msian specs is lousy....compared with US specs...in US sonata got 6 airbags, navigation gps and bluetooth, but here no..only 2 airbags...no gps and no bluetooth. U have to give credit to hyundai..they started even later than proton....now look where they r now....next year they will beat honda in mkt share in US for sure,,,,just overtaken nissan at no 3 spot....

i think fuel economy is a very important, hyundai made the right decision to focus their latest technology to improve on this.....without sacrificing on performance.....my friend who bought the new merc E class also was very impress with it...after test driving it...he gave me the thumbs up...

sometimes cannot compare like that...for the same spec..my sonata is 20k cheaper than camry....and sime gave me 5 years warranty...so if my car resale value is lower i can accept it...afterall....i know i will use it for at least 5 yrs....

well honestly, here in msia...i don't think it will sell well bcause many ppl still with old mindset.....and ppl still thinks hyundai is a cheapo brand compared with toyota or honda...unlike in US where consumers are more sophisticated and car industry are more competitive...it's selling extremely well...google "hyundai uncensored" u can see some funny ads....i think it will take some time...but i am very confident hyundai is on the right track.
