2008 Hyundai Sonata Road Test Ratings

More power and stylish than the previous generation Sonata, the latest version deserves to be considered alongside the Honda Accord.

The Sonata's chassis strikes a good ride/handling balance. The optional V6 offeres above-average performance in this class.

A quiet and comfortable interior enviroment, with chassis behavior that strikes a balance between comfort and performance.

Many of the controls work well, but some of the details need revision.

Styling, no longer odd, combines with much-improved fit and finish to produce a competitve package.
