Reviews Summary | |
Reviews SummaryDespite having the onerous task of competing against segment mainstays like the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord—and combating waning consumer interest in midsize sedans—the Hyundai Sonata continues to play to its strengths. By offering tremendous value, exceptional quality, and a surprisingly sporty N Line variant, the Sonata can more than hold its own against the segment favourites. | |
