Relatively conservative and balanced.
The 2009 revision is best in class - more visually attractive, intuitive and functional than the Malibu, Altima or Accord.
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.
6 cyl. is turbine smooth, with no let up of torque through redline.
Heavy dealer discounting gets you a fully loaded 6 cyl. Sonata Limited at the same price as a base 4 cyl. Accord or Camry.
