2002 Hyundai Sonata Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by farhagh

Fuel economy

Competition is not any better, and Sonata (specially in used market) is not beatable!

Exterior styling

I believe the style of 02~05 was really unique and much better than the Japanese/American cars in class.

Ride smoothness

Much better than what expected, especially on highway, and I do have a heavy foot!

Dealer practices

I have tried 3 different in 2 provinces, and they are always happy to help, and surprisingly the service rate is really good! I have gone to two dealer for test drive and looked at cars & SUVs. both of them really polite and patient with no push to buy.

Materials & workmanship

Just after I tried other cars (mazda, nissan, GM) I realized how good is interior material.

Brand reputation & image

Well, it still does not have the class. I do not care that much but you specially feel it when you want to trade it in for something else.
