I hope this will be helpful. I absolutely love my Sonanta. Every where I go people are asking about it. It seems everybody is interseted but timid because of Hyundai's old reputation. Well it's gone. Before I bought my Sonata I owned a 99 Pontiac Grand Prix GT. I thought that was fun to drive but it was nothing compared to my Sonata. The Sonata is comfortable, nice styling, practical, fully loaded, fast, and the engine is very quiet even when stepping on the pedal. My advice, if you are in the sedan hunt, buy the 2006 Sonata. Hyundai is definetely taking a huge step in the auto industry. If you are looking for luxury wait a year or so Hyundai is coming out with high line to compete with Lexus, BMW and such.

After doing extensive research on several comparable models I "discovered" the Sonata on Edmunds.com and I'm sure glad I did! I hadn't considered a Hyundai, but I was willing to keep an open mind and give all the vehicles a shot. This car is very tight & solid, has great acceleration and is very pleasing to the eye. The doors close w/ a heavy thud, not a tinny feeling like some models. The interior knobs and buttons have a substantial feel to them and are placed in a logical order. The shiftronic transmission coupled w/ the V6 makes for a very fun driving experience. So many standard features for the price really make this a car you MUST consider.

My Sonata is sporty, and fun to drive. It's a roomy as a Camry or Accord. My family has always owned Camrys, and I had owned 2 new Accords. I have no regrets about my Sonata. It was was my best purchase yet. I have the quality of an Accord or Camry, and got it at a lower price and with a better warrenty. You can't go wrong!

After test driving all the obvious competitors, I purchased my Sonata. The value and warranty are impossible to beat. I've had to deal with a few minor quirks that the dealership can't/won't fix (strange dash panel fit around the radio, rattles coming from the windshield and the rear headliner). The exterior design is nice (looks like the offspring of a late-model Accord and an Audi A4) and the interior is decent. The manual mode on my auto transmission is a bit odd - it always feels like it lags behind my input when shifting. Overall, a great car with an exceptional warranty.
