Best car in its class, if I were Lexus, Acura or any other dealer on the high end market, I would be worried!

2011 Sonata 2.0 T Limited

Definitely worth the wait for the 2.0T. The 2.4 is probably adequate for most, but the turbo is worth extra cost for those wanting more. Limited package is great value.

Suspension Lets car down

2011 Hyundai Sonata SE 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 6A)

I've had the car for 1 yr now with about 15k mi. This is my 13th car owned, and I really like a lot of things about this car. The engine is very powerful for a 4cy, but can be a bit noisy. Like all the features for the price and the styling inside & out. Have 3 major gripes, tires are extremely noisy over certain surfaces, can be really annoying but only over certain surfaces. But the main problem is the suspension, after careful thought it is unacceptably firm. Car hits potholes really, really hard, feels horrible. Enough to the point that I don't enjoy the car b/c of it. Lastly steering is lifeless and vague. Think I would have enjoyed the GLS or Limited more, but Se does look great!

Looks Great! Drives So So

I have my Sonata for 6 months now and still find the styling inside and out to be a real eye-catcher. However, driving the car is a completely different experience. I have complained to the dealer twice in 3000 miles about the poor shifting and jerky acceleration during normal driving. The transmission slips and jerks on most upshifts. The road noise and handling can certainly use improvement. Too much tire noise and car tends to wander. It does, however, get excellent gas mileage both around town (28 mpg) and on the highway (36.5 mpg)
