As good as the 2006 Honda Accord?

byshoplmart Aug 27, 2005
74 Helpfuls 75 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 10 Comments
Pros Price, Acceleration, Refinement, Fuel Economy
Cons Some interior quality control issues, Generic styling.
Recommended it? Yes

The 2006 Sonata represents the first release of an entirely new fleet of Hyundai sedans. An all-new Accent, Elantra, and a brand new addition to the Hyundai line titled "Azera" will all join the Sonata later this fall. The 2006 Sonata has changed dramatically, but has is it changed enough to... Read full review »

First drive in the new Sonata

Pros Clean styling, roomy interior, low noise levels, low price, safety features, warranty
Cons Forgettable styling, merely adequate performance, overly light steering
Recommended it? Yes

This review covers only my first test drive. For my review of both the four and the V6, go here.

Hyundai doesn't want to get by on low prices and a long warranty alone. It wants to be ranked among the world's top five vehicle manufacturers, and to do this it must field thoroughly... Read full review »

Should every other automaker be afraid? (4 and V6 reviewed)

Hyundai doesn't want to get by on low prices and a long warranty alone. It wants to be ranked among the world's top five vehicle manufacturers, and to do this it must field thoroughly competitive products. With the recently introduced 2006 Sonata it claims to have done just this. The buzz is that... Read full review »

A Competitor in a Crowded Field

Pros Comfortable Driving Experience, Warranty, Features, Room
Cons Some controls hard to reach, Not as fast as Accord
Recommended it? Yes

I will admit that I am biased, as my family proudly owns two Hyundais.(Santa Fe and Elantra) We have had no problems with them, and we have convinced others to how great they are. I work in the car business, and many of my customers gush about how happy they are with their South Korean cars. From... Read full review »

Introduction
It was time for my aging 2002 Cadillac Deville to be replaced and after test driving a 2005 PT Cruiser, a 2005 Saturn ION and a 2005 6 cylinder Hyundai Sonata, I had decided upon the Sonata. We were at a break in the paper signing stage when I happened to notice a 2006 Sonata on... Read full review »

Pros Room, refinement, engines, options, looks.
Cons No true manual with the V6, a wee bit big for my taste.
Recommended it? Yes

This review will cover my test drive in 2 2006 Hyundai Sonata GLS-one with the 4 cyl, and one with the 6 cyl. I won't bore you with statistics-they can be found on the Hyundai website.

EXTERIOR-Yes. This car looks like the Accord. And maybe a few other cars for that matter. But I don't... Read full review »

Must Read Hyundai Sonata Review - My First Hyundai and I love it

Introduction

I previously owned a Jaguar XJR and it was a great car to drive, but the 370 HP V8 supercharged engine really used a lot of gas. When the gas price started to reach $3/gallon, we know that we had to find a new car that uses a lot less gas. I never cared much about Hyundai... Read full review »

General
The brand new Hyundai Sonata was redesigned and released as a 2006 model this past summer/fall. Hyundai are building on a history of giving more for less, while making quantum leaps forward in reliability and quality over the past 5 years. Long gone are the days of the Pony and Stellar...

Pros Cheap, yet very well made, great features, pleasing performance.
Cons Not quite up to Toyota/Honda/Nissan standards but not far off.
Recommended it? No

The Hyundai range is still the butt of some jokes & scoffing, but the new Sonata is firmly quelling any such suggestions. Rightly so.

The newly designed 2006 models saw fresh, eye pleasing styling & interior. It is still a little bland, a kind of generic Honda Accord copy, but still easy... Read full review »

Pros Affordable, sharp looking, plenty of power, and comfortable to drive.
Cons Slightly rough transmission. Cup holders could be located in a better place.
Recommended it? Yes

My wife and I have owned a Sonata for some time now. It has been a very dependable and enjoyable car to drive. One of the first things I noticed about the car that I like is the smooth ride. Bumps are minimized and over the long haul, it provides a comfortable ride. All the accesories are easy to... Read full review »
