2011 Hyundai Sonata Video Review - Kelley Blue Book

[kskeune]

This is my Dream car !! and with good Price, I will buy it with White color in Near future. Hope that yr 2013 it will have the same Model. Sonota is the Best !!!

[shortaybrown]

Why cant VW put a 274 HP 4 cyclinder in the GTI ?? Right? 

[perfectawngdang]

Exterior copy from Toyota Camry Solaris. What a great design? Interior almost look like Volvo. Damn it. Hate this copy cat Korean car.

[brianrulesman]

@perfectawngdang you must be blind

[alexkvaskov]

Hyundai's the new Honda.

[vankhoa0]

Healthy? The turbo's 274 hp is the best in class. It's amazing what direct injection can do.

[y571]

the only reason i wouldnt buy one .. is its resale value 

[urafudgehead]

When are you guys doing the 2011 Kia Optima review?

[SnowyCapone]

the same guy that designed the jaguar c x75 concept designed it, so its definately a luxury car. no doubt about that. the inside is classier than most luxury cars out today. that outside looks just as good. im definately getting 1 or 2 of these.

[GMasis001]

looks like a semi-luxury car.

[MrRazvandur]

stylish car...we'll see this car in europe?

[alexkvaskov]

@MrRazvandur Look to the i40.

[JdubsFTW]

i sorta like the styling, but i think it will look really immature in the future, unlike the new passat.

[alexkvaskov]

@JdubsFTW The Passat looks extremely dated, Sonata's aging well.

[heroheroic]

ALL this is is a FAT Camry and the side line is taken from the previous Lexus ES.

[MegaPit99]

thumbs up want to put 22" on it



[urafudgehead]

@MegaPit99 Ew. I hate people that put ugly ass rims on classy cars. Disgusting.

[MegaPit99]

@urafudgehead fuck u dick head



[nickman888]

@MegaPit99 THUMBS DOWN

[penpen123]

i've always liked only japanese cars, but korean and american automakers are starting to make nice looking cars

[Logicsupremacy]

Sonata is a nice car and ever improving as well.

[dave22h34]

Like everything except one .. That chinky styling ! A big smiling grill . Check those side mirrors , gawdy wheels , kitty cat headlights + tail lts oozes asian cheep ! Me no likey !!

[thambi10]

sonata SE is the best :)

[TheRealOliver]

This Sonata is killing the competitions

[jxtsful]

FUCK YOU HYUNDAI HATERS:Hyundai Equus leaves customers more satisfied than any other large premium cars in the American market, even outdistancing luxury German brands such as BMW, Audi and Mercedes-Benz. The Equus received 904 points out of a maximum 1,000 in this year's U.S. automotive performance, execution and layout (APEAL) survey, which was published on Thursday by J.D. Power and Associates, an influential U.S. agency that conducts surveys to determine customer satisfaction levels.

[heroheroic]

LOOK like a fat Camry. I HATE the red 70s interior

[PEPWEY]

What red leather.

[LiLTBoyy115]

four door coupe. 200 hp. 35 mpg hwy. less than 20k. sold.

[TerryFilming]

@LiLTBoyy115 Ikr? I'm in love with the Sonata Turbo though.

[LiLTBoyy115]

@TerryFilming me too! what i find the amazing is that the sonata/optima turbo offer v6 power with fuel efficiency that is equal to or even better than the competition's base four cylinder engines. and keep in mind that despite nearly identical fuel efficiency numbers for the sonata/optima turbo and the other company's 4 cylinder engines that the turbo engine offers around 100 more horsepower. combine that w/ sexy looks, full size space, and an affordable price, and this is a great home run! :D

[dushyantx]

camry and accord killer!

[khoihq]

between this huyndai and mazda 6..which one is better?

[menofat1]

2:26 lol wtf did he say????

[urafudgehead]

@menofat1 Derivative. It's a fancy way of saying copy-cat ish.

[TerryFilming]

@urafudgehead Its not. Oh god, you're another Lexus-Toyota-loving troll. Hyundai and Kia are designed by Peter Shreyer, who used to design the interior and exterior of Audi, VW, and even Lamborghini. He took credit for the legendary Murcielago.

[TerryFilming]

@urafudgehead Whoah, dude, I didn't mean to reply to you. I meant to reply to KeepingModern. Sorry, my computer gets frozen,and often when I click on a link or any button, it doesn't do it or does something else. :L

[urafudgehead]

@TerryFilming Dude shut the fuck up man. I fucking love the Kia Optima SX and Hyundai Sonata. And no, Hyundai's designer isn't Peter Schreyer, that's only for Kia. Someone asked what derivative said and I answered what it meant. Maybe if you fucking looked at who I was responding to you wouldn't have been such an ass. I always check the Optima 4g section on Kia-forums and the Sonata on Hyundai-forums. I fucking hate Lexus, Toyota, and Honda's cars. They're all butt ugly and boring as shit.

[urafudgehead]

@TerryFilming Oh also, if you looked at my other comments ON THE SAME VIDEO you'd see me commenting that I prefer the Kia Optima SX and that I plan to purchase one soon in Corsa Blue, dickface.

[TerryFilming]

@urafudgehead oh my god, dude, I just said I didn't mean to say that to you! 

[TerryFilming]

@urafudgehead DUDE, calm the fuck down. I JUST said that I didn't mean to send that to you! Df. God, I don't pay attention to usernames! None of your comments are there on the second page, where KeepingModern's comments are.

[rforracing]

when the fuck did it have the option of a pink interior? Must be "kbb exclusive".

[urafudgehead]

@rforracing It's always had the option of the interior. It's more a red maroonish color in real life. For some reason their camera makes it look pink. I've sat in one before, it's quite different...

[happyboyy8k]

Better than any sedan cars in it class. This is one of the sexy mothfck cars.

[urafudgehead]

@happyboyy8k I prefer the Kia Optima SX. More features, and cleaner look. Also, not everyone and his grandma are buying it. I do think this car is second best though, :P

[igeekone]

Hyundai is sexy. Toyota and, sadly, Honda are on the cheap and nasty path.

[BlackOpsAFG]

@igeekone i have driven both accord and sonata and i can truly say they drive differently sure the sonata has great value but when you drive them back to back you will see how Honda is better. the sonata compared to accord has numb steering feel and on the hi-way after around 140 km/h you will feel vibration on steering wheel

[TerryFilming]

@BlackOpsAFG Hi there, many cars have different "opinions" on how to make car go with suspension. Honda decided that it would give it strong suspension. That means when its turns, its gets stiff. Many car companies choose to make a "looser" handling wheel so that means there should be less suspension. Having less suspension, but more handling is better.

[BlackOpsAFG]

@TerryFilming ahah i know dude but thanxz anyway im just saying it rides better more of a drivers car thats it

[johnmecheng]

I'd actually be interested to see a sport wagon variant of this car...

[ISFKing]

2:20 does he say "one of the sonatas strongest seats" ?

[goofeewalden1]

@ISFKing suits.

[matrixloader]

who would of thought the day hyundai's resale value being be better than ford or toyota would one day come.

hyundai is just 1 point away from honda on resale value now. good job hyundai.

[KeepingModern]

Oh the bigots who hate Asians doing well will fucking go apeshit over this car's success. Then again the modern world is too busy for bigots like that. I like good cars whoever made it.

[videonaj]

Hybrid version looks worthwhile

[msesq1]

I'm still trying to choose between this car, Nissan Altima coupe or a Cruz.

[InsurgenceRX]

@msesq1 i personally would go with the Cruze, but go and test drive all of them, and pick the one you like the best.

[jxtsful]

Hyundai Sonata Thriving, Toyota, Honda, Nissan and Ford Crying...

[Drifter9020]

@jxtsful Toyota-yes

Honda-maybe

Nissan-You're joking

Ford-I don't think so

[zabakkabou]

meh korean car :P

[jxtsful]

@zabakkabou meh stupid Taiwanese don't make shit. :P

[zabakkabou]

@jxtsful meh u are funny :P

[BarryEssex]

it's HYUNDAI, not fuckin HONDAI

[yummy1234098]

they are just now doing a review on the Sonata...- _ -

[walkthepark]

exterior: optima > sonata

interior: sonata > optima.

only if they made optimas with sonata's interior..

[BeeDoubleUDee]

@walkthepark I could not agree more. Would love the Sonata (i45 IN Australia) interior coupled wit the Optima body shape and exterior look.

[netman88]

Seems to me that the Sonata is giving honda, toyota and Ford a run for the money.

[BlakeBergy]

Not my cup of tea... It seems too gimmicky for some reason. I'd rather have a Mazda6 or even a 3.

[flatblackstrat]

Those rims look like the came off my the old Tiburon. 

[89leviathan]

@Jakeman2164 ROFL!! A gocart...bull shit. I have the 08 malibu (same platform as the 2011) and it rides VERY smooth and is VERY quiet inside and its 3 years old and has 180,000Kms on it.

[rapandrnb]

@89leviathan

Bullshit.... Where the fuck do you drive ? to the moon and back everyday ?

[89leviathan]

@rapandrnb Haha good one. but no...saskatchewan, canada. the worst roads in all of canada...and i know any canadian will testify to that. I put over 120kms(combined) everyday driving to the city to get to work then home on shitty broken pavement highways with shitty patch jobs. When i was car shopping ride comfort was a key thing after driving a crappy focus for years.

[awesomeness2571]

@Jakeman2164 not really... it's a bit on the firm side like the japanese cars... the malibu has such a dampening suspension that it doesn't feel very good... i've been in both and i prefer the sonata

[ak5504]

I like it!

[AnonymoussourceL0L]

I friggin hate that long chrome trim! I HATE CHROME!!

[ricksmiths10]

Good steering feel? Who the fuck are they kidding!!!!

[xtyson5]

SEXY CAR

[nickman888]

@xtyson5 YOU SAID THAT RIGHT!!!!!

[sdlausen]

I'm sorry, but this looks like a catfish just crawled out of the water and grew some wheels. Charles Darwin would be proud of this car. Thank GOD we have the Optima as an option. Just my 2 cents.

[Intechdude300]

Kia Optima is the better car, especially the SX model. Sonata Styling is just way too busy & its interior isn't as good as the Optima ( Despite both being Siblings ).

[itsTiLER]

A RED INTERIOR?!

[mountain885]

Kbb Should have gone with the turbo

[itsTiLER]

@mountain885 they take what they get. i think they usually test a mid range model.

[tHeWasTeDYouTh]

FOREVER ALONE

[bradmax39]

truly original shape?

they copied almost everything, granted from more expensive cars, but still copied.

give it 5 years and this shape isnt going to age well, compared to the Fusion or Malibu which have more timeless looks

[muiscnight]

Compare this to the 2005 sonata now image this car 5 years from now.

[maseratiquattroport]

look at all these hyundai employees writing good reviews on the bottom about their car. LOL

[ankurchopra87]

good steering feel ? last time i drove it .. it had no steering feel !

[tahj677]

The Sonata is a game changer for Hyundai. They finally got it right!

[depilator69]

Go Koreans!

[robbap1]

can you see that huge gap between the hood and fenders?

[maeng97]

@robbap1 Do you mean by the chrome trim the run through the front of the car and to the rear window?

[Bubby19464]

this really has to be one of the best cars Hyundai has made

[brianr10112]

I love it !

[kiamohkam50]

love it but cost around 65grand in iran

[mbuddenn]

The front end reminds me of Mazda.
