Not a good car to buy, get the V6!

Review

What ever you do, get the V6 if you are considering buying a used Sonata. The 4-cylinder model lacks in pickup, accelleration, and keeping a constant speed. The Transmission is taxed heavily because of the undersized engine. The car is much too heavy to have a 4 knocker under the hood, it needs at least a 6, maybe even an 8!

Nothing, i can't even resell it for anything!!

Ditch the 4 cylinder engine!

Review

I've had a Sonata for two years and it was only two years old when I bought it. I've had more problems and put more money into fixing it than I ever should have.

The exterior ressembles many larger, nicer vehicles, that cost more money. That means affordible style to me.
