 This is our 3rd Sonata and each one is better than the last.  It is the best dollar for dollar value on the road, delivering power and comfort whether in the mountains or on the interstate.  The dealer service is consistent, thorough, and priced competitively.  Any minor issues have been satisfactorily corrected. Steering is tight and responsive with good road feel, acceleration is strong, leather seats are comfortable but firm and secure.  Really like the tire pressure monitor gauge. Everyone who has ridden in the car is surprised by its interior space, styling, and comfort.  And we still have the 05, a friend is now driving the 01.
