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.

Topgear Malaysia reviews the Sonata in October edition. The reviews didn't turn out well for Sonata especially in the driving and power department.....
Better spare your cash and opted for the Mazda 6 or Accord. With Japs quality,power,reliability,comfort,handling is rest assured. OUR SONATA is not the same as the US SONATA. Why is that happening ? cost?

(No offence )
