TheHolyGhost Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Hi all, Despite the fact that they released the 2011 in February of 2010, I was wondering what everyone thought of the new Sonata. I sat it one, it's pretty nice. Plasticky in areas, but overall for the price it seemed like a pretty good value. They didn't have any MTs in my area so I haven't driven one yet.

franklin Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Are they at dealers yet ? Compaired to their competition , Accord , Camry , Malibu they seem a cut above. Style wise quite daring for a mainstream car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheHolyGhost Posted February 28, 2010 Author Share Posted February 28, 2010 I don't own one and didn't take any pictures when I was there. They seem to be starting to trickle into dealers. http://www.autoblog.com/2010/02/22/2011-hyundai-sonata-review/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight705 Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 they are really pushing the genesis look onto the rest of the cars..... i had a sonata as a rental just last month. it was ok. i mean it was soft/slow to me due to having coilovers on my sentra and more power. for a mid-sized sedan for just daily or family duty, i would be fine having one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The B4 Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 It's a nice car. It's well optioned for the price and has a great interior. We may check one out. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John M Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I think the "4 cylinder only" approach is a mistake. 200hp / 185 tq is commendable from a 2.4 liter but the old model's v6 made 250hp and 230 tq -- both much more robust than this model. The price point stays the same at around $27k with every possible option and that's pretty high for such a loss of power. They say there will be a turbo 4 option later in the year. That's also an odd choice for a mainstream family sedan. Is this 1980s Chrysler part 2? The new platform is a great improvement but the underhood neutering may keep it from selling to its potential.

ehsnils Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 It's probably a fuel consumption change. A 4 cylinder engine is often easier on the fuel consumption than a 6 cylinder. Even if you have a turbo on the 4 cylinder. What matters is if it's tuned to the driving cycle that is used to measure fuel consumption by EPA and other authorities.

Gire Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Hyundai SonataSis turbo??? Eiter way, it looks like a bad copy of a Benz, and I thought Hyundai was above that by now. Kia with their (really nice, actually) Forte copy of the Civic- I can understand, but Hyundai.....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
