2009 Hyundai Sonata: more sport in the revised SE?

Jun 15 '08 - Updated Feb 04 '09 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Powerful V6, more stylish interior, improved suspension, room, low price, long warranty
Cons: Still not very sporty and a sixth gear might aid performance and economy.
The Bottom Line: The new Hyundai Sonata SE provides a somewhat more sporting experience than before. And the interior is nicer. The car's largest advantage, though, continues to be its low price.

Since its redesign for the 2006 model year, the Hyundai Sonata has been a thoroughly competitive midsize sedan, complete with clean styling, a strong optional V6, roomy interior, and relatively low price. What it didn't offer: much in the way of style or ...

Dec 17 '08 - Updated Apr 29 '09 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Comfy, roomy, quiet, with a surprising upclass feel for the price.
Cons: Transmission is soft.  1st gear is tricky.  Steering not crisp.  Windshield bit squeaky over bumps.
The Bottom Line: Good value - see review for full price details.  Good family sedan.  Upscale feel for the price.  A few windshield squeaks that need to be resolved. 

I recently decided to replace my 2004 1.8S Sentra with a new daily driver.  I had been shopping Mazda3 and Honda Civics but wasn't sure that getting another vehicle of the same dimensions was in my best interest.  With two young children (two ...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Fuel efficiency, price, smooth riding, great warranty
Cons: None
The Bottom Line: If you think you're sold on Camry or Accord, give the Sonata a try before buying...you'll change your mind.

Hyundai has come a long way, and the 2009 Sonata my partner and I purchased this past weekend is a wonderful example of the quality and value you get with a Hyundai. We considered two cars: Toyota Camry, Hyundai Sonata. After test driving both, we ...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Value, efficiency, value, easy to drive, value, modern, and value
Cons: Ugliest exterior in the category, seats are cheap
The Bottom Line: I recommend the car to anyone whom his/her socoal standing is not related to his/her car.

I just bought this car (GL automatic).  This car is a big step up for Hyundai because of major interior upgrade.  The mid size market has changed dramatically.  Last year, the top cars were Altima, Accord, and Camry.  The best of the ...

Very Solid Vehicle for the Money

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Value, roomy cabin, safety features, decent gas mileage.
Cons: Handling and braking, gauges, turn signal and headlight stalks.
The Bottom Line:

Better deal than Camry or Accord for a 4-cylinder.


I rented a Hyundai Sonata GLS for a week and did about 1,000 miles of driving.  It was a 4-cylinder with the 5-speed automatic transmission.  In light of the fact that this model could be purchased in the 18,000 range, it is a very impressive ...

Pros: limousine class , new engine , great outside and inside looks, affordable price.
Cons: Rides nice and neat,no outside sounds - perfect isolation, and fuel economy sums it up.
The Bottom Line: I have to say that this car is great investment and for a price like this you can't find anything better.
