4dr Sedan 249-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD

Why the 2009 Hyundai Sonata?

Exterior styling

Relatively conservative and balanced.

Interior styling

The 2009 revision is best in class - more visually attractive, intuitive and functional than the Malibu, Altima or Accord.

Ride smoothness

2009 suspension is between the Camry and Accord, but closer to the Accord. I prefer the ride to both. Steering is very tight and accurate, but the ride is not as harsh or jiggly as the Accord.

Powertrain performance

6 cyl. is turbine smooth, with no let up of torque through redline.

Price or payments

Heavy dealer discounting gets you a fully loaded 6 cyl. Sonata Limited at the same price as a base 4 cyl. Accord or Camry.

Why Not the 2009 Hyundai Sonata?

Depreciation

Historic depreciation is higher than the Accord or Camry, but I keep my cars till worthless, so this is a moot point for me.
