I viewed and testdrove the Sonata. Here are my comments:
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.

QUOTE(cybermaster98 @ Jul 14 2010, 01:42 PM) Which model did u test drive? Normally the car performance is not up to mark as its not run in properly. But not sure if its the case here. Do give us more details bro. Sonata 2.0. I was told of the probable reasons e.g. car not run-in, and not serviced. But hey, that's no way to convince would-be buyers. |

QUOTE(sleepwalker @ Jul 14 2010, 02:10 PM) You can't really expect much out of 167hp pulling 1400++ kgs can you? With it not being a performance car, it's a pain in the butt trying to find specifications for it. However, knowing that it only has 167hp and trying to pull 10 dead cows is not going to give you a bone-jarring acceleration. Whether it is run-in or serviced, it is not going to improve much of a performance. Seriously, most demo cars are already way past the 1000km and 5000km service intervals and should not blame the performance on the new engine. I'm no techie when it comes to cars. But I am comparing paying RM140k for this Sonata, to the Accord and Camry 2.0s. The Sonata is no match for the latter two, speaking solely in terms of driving experience.
