 My 2008 Hyundai Sonata is a 4 cyl that copied the Honda Accord (similar VTEC engine, body, transmission to my 1999 and 2005 Accords) but made it better!  It has great power on mountain roads, much like a 6 cyl., flat, solid handling, very comfortable ride(a little to soft-sprung when speed bumps are encountered).  It is extremely reliable.  I have owned it since 2009 and it is trouble-free  so far.  This would be a terrific buy for a young driver looking for a reliable bargain that has some zip!  It has decent power and handles very well.
