[lolitstinks1]

the pillar does deform a bit

[srkkroh791]

japan car are better.

[JENSDONT]

Korean cars aren't shit. They are (almost) as reliable as Japanese cars and also the quality isn't so bad, especially for that price...

[pattycarljackson]

@JENSDONT the quality is great

[SteelCity1981]

why did the passenger side curtain airbag deploy but the driver's side curtain airbag didn't during an offset crash on the driver's side. That doesn't seem right.

[pattycarljackson]

@SteelCity1981 to me it looked like the drivers side curtain airbags were srt off because how it hit cause when i got into a accident in my 06 sonata it did the same but it was because of how the car hit and where the censor was since the car moved toward the passanger side

[GameronMaximus]

o shit. itz damm bad

[pattycarljackson]

@GameronMaximus no its not dude you dont know what a bad crash test is do you?

[Porsche1080]

I'd buy myself a Genesis. Nothing else from Hyundai

But thats me.

[pattycarljackson]

@Porsche1080 the equus and the sonata are really good i love hyundai but i dont like all the styles of the elantra or accent to much

[pattycarljackson]

@Porsche1080 whats the difference its still a hyundai they are all good cars

[hungseki1]

Is this another shitty chinese or korean car??

[whitenoise201]

if only they had those in jurassic park

[Chaodragon07]

brand new sanata sells at used toyota corolla price

[Superyoshi641]

I hate how the NHTSA doesn't really care about the safety of people in cars. they just want the money.

[TheLuchian88]

very good car.....i have 3 hyundai sonata ......the best

[dhyosungk]

hyundai is growing company that's improved a lot over the years, deal with it :)

[TheONEWELL]

I hate it when people get snobby over german cars, they are good, iv had 16 audis, but swedish cars are something youv never drove befor, there amazing.

[kenneykole]

So what about 2008 model are more safe than 2006??? Somebody told me about new sonata are better than 2006. Because they improved. Is that right??

My grandpa got new sonata. I hope this is a safe car. But is a great car.

[CrimeAvenger2]

Korean Quality.

[SLRengines]

i dont like hyundai,  german cars are way better.

[Porsche1080]

@SLRengines well no shit eh? 

[0255992580]

shit car!! japanese car is best.

[USAsiaEU]

Is this a danger car?

It seem "side crush test" is bad result.

[japnikki]

I dont care I DONT BUY AMERICAN...you buy American and you are wasting your money!!! more than 50% of production on the big three are for fleet purposes....SAD

[mypetridish]

why are cars made for fleet deemed to be bad?

[hondarulefoo]

Ok I'm really tired of the whole American v Japanese v German bullshit. Everybody buys what they like there problem solved. Just don't buy Japanese or German and then bitch about OUR economy, thats when I get pissed.

[acetheguru]

american cars dont sell well because of their lack of resell value and fuel consumption even though they r the most reliable n comfortable cars in the world

[qpemfh11]

not true

[acetheguru]

yes it is true....see i live in saudi arabia.....which is i beleive the second largest market for american cars....the way i have seen here my whole life is that u go buy a new Chevy Suburban for 100,000 riyals and drive it to ur home and sell it the next day there would be atleast 10,000 riyals difference when u will sell it.........and if u get lucky maybe u will get a couple of thousands more but still 8,000 in a day is a lot of difference manl.......

[jaehyeonan]

NOT TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[acetheguru]

do u fuckin live here???

[rory88888]

i thought it might be bad but it wa quite good for four stars

[rory88888]

not as bad as i expected

[gutayui]

Korea car is a defective car. The exaggerated indication is terrible, too. It is worse than a Russian car.

[nakoalla]

worse than a russian car? hahaha wtf. i saw russian cars same level as chinese car or little bit better. --

[nurbsenvi]

not better worse.

[s7n4allmankind]

hyundai really stepped their game up. they used to be cheap, shitty cars but now they're one of the leading mid size cars in the market. true, japanese cars are good, but i see even more sonatas than corollas nowadays.

people in america don't buy american cars because they have shitty reliability and even worse aesthetics. imports are well known for reliability, and the sales prove it. ford may as well stand for "found on road dead".

before you trash talk car brands, do your research.

[fordforme]

Talk about needing to do your research!!! JD Power, GQRS, even Consumer Reports (who hates American cars) all talk about how Ford is among the most reliable. The GQRS shows Ford ahead of all brands, including Honda and Toyota. Do your research.

[s7n4allmankind]

then why don't i see more american cars on the roads? i test drove chevys and fords, including the ford fusion, before i got my sonata and they drove significantly worse than the car i have now. the interior was awful. from the old impala that i learned to drive on to the newest impala now, there is no improvement.

name one american car that's better than any other foreign car on the market.

[fordforme]

Because they don't sell as well. Back in the 1990s, you didn't see half as many Toyotas as Fords and Chevys. But, was it because Toyota was less reliable? No. COMMON SENSE!!!! Yeah, the Sonata is an excellent car, but nobody can deny that the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Malibu handle and even ride better. Although the Sonata's interior is of high quality, the interior of the Fusion is of the same or higher quality. Studies after studies continue to prove how the Fusion is the best sedan in the US.

[acetheguru]

actually the problem with u is that u r driving the wong car man.......see abt those old chevys those Caprices which came in the 80's and early 90's those where truly american cars i should say........i think u should drive one of GM's Holden Commodore or Statesman or Caprice and u will know that difference....and hey there are no american cars cuz american cars are only good when they are V8's.........and i think most of the people cant afford this kind of huge fuel consumption....

[depth246]

lol  hyundai car

[japuglymonkey]

fucking japanese. i am japanese but i don't buy TOYOTA,SONY. i buy SAMSUNG,HYUNDAI-KIA. becaus S.korea tech is better than jap-monkey.

[japancrazy1]

what are you say?

japan help korea very much!!!

I agree,fuck sony,but no samsung and lg

[fourheadfox]

how can american buy a korean car? cuz cheap cheap in everything such parts what make it acceptable to american i guess was the little american touch. lol....here another point they sold us more junk car, than they do buy our american in korea.. thats a bad trade folks ....and we allowed it to happen cuz we accept now. we became a cheal hoe americans..

thats opinion only ...but thats is the truth

see around even parts are made chinese,food with toxic is that good

[kimosabesun]

Ok when your butt gets tight due to gas prices, tell me about this again. Welcome to the the European logic.

[cirenow]

four// actually, korea is very different from china. They aren't cheap people doing harm to others just to make profit like chinks. They used to suck, but they have caught up. Domestics aren't really good these days either.

Koreans wouldn't buy american cars in korea because there are plenty of BETTER cars like Japanese and European (compacts to luxury ones), or cheap domestics like hyundai or kia.

[Seargentnewbooty]

look hyundai quality that snaps your neck

new warranty should say

10 year 100,000 mile warranty against snap necks and broken limbs

[kazumiru19]

booooo

[KingOFDelta]

Corolla is much stronger than this car

[nakoalla]

but i don't like the design of it

[sonatas16]

loveeeeeee this CAR!

[antijpn1]

My car... it's ok...

[997porsche]

Interesting..I have one of these for my company car...very good car, never thought I'd like Hyundai, but it gets the job done, and is a hell of a lot better value than a shitbox Toyota

[SwimmmerX]

wtf toyota is not shit!!!!! better than that korean shit

[fordforme]

That's not what studies continue to prove.

[Lexlus42]

@997porsche Yeah if you ask me ill say that Toyota and Hyundai are trading places.

[pattycarljackson]

@Lexlus42 toyota or hyundai i sbetter?

[motorolarival3]

@997porsche Toyota's are shitbox crap, eh? Well my dad had a toyota for 10 year and i got my licence about 2 years ago and the car is still in satasfactory condition ... and did you see the head on crash test? major fail.. And other thing ... why is it that you own a hyndai, but ywt your user is porshe?

[hondacrxrus]

@997porsche if this is the 40 mile an hour test the toyota does much better look at the sonata A pillar deform. That is what keeps you safe in a crash if the door would have opened it would have been even worse. 4 stars are good 5 are better.

[FuckFordGM]

@997porsche

That's funny coming from a shit metal porsche monkey lol. Toyota the world's best automaker and a million times more reliable than your overpriced aluminium can fagass porcshe? German autos have more recalls in a year than a decade of Toyota callings. And we ALL know those Toyo reports were a scam to boost US makers. Go slit ur wrists and die a slow, painful death.

[fuckfordgmEXPOSED]

@FuckFordGM --yet your the one who likes german cars. YOU ARE PATHETIC for putting down cars from YOUR country. you just put down Porsche

[ShaolinWarriors99]

not bad.

[nastynacho00]

same exact car i had my wreck about 3 weeks ago in but it was an 01 though

[bmwm5audirs6]

GOOD CAR LOVE IT

[charliecharlie200]

most car crash studies are not real world crashes...if you were tboned by a semi at 80kph you might aswell be in a cardboard car as nothing will save in such a deadly impact.5 stars is still better than some crap that we drive

[capitalIDEA111]

I must say that the inside such as the seats seamed to move around much more than in any other crash test I've seen. The seats backs moved forward some distance in the frontal offset test.

[retecomputer]

same point with honda accord & toyota camry.

[initialdluvr]

your a racist you know that? i know what happened back then but those jap soldiers are dead. today's japanese people didnt do that right? and plus, me liking a japanese car, doesnt make me a jap lover you moron racist fag.

[initialdluvr]

hey shithead, ask yourself if a hyundai sonata crash video has anything to do with WW2

[initialdluvr]

alright now what you said was stupid. what they did 60 years ago has nothing to do with their present-day car. you racist fag. you dont see a japanese in a hyundai because obviously, japanese cars are better than korean cars. korean cars are good but even to me, a japanese car is better.

[kickyourasspls]

Yeah korean cars arent the best..but this is only their second model of Sonata.Koreans are improving quick..i mean RAPIDLY,Their country's GDP went from 1997's 8000usd to 2006's 19000usd

.Duplicated in 9years.WTF>

[leehj7998]

It's 5th model of Sonata actually. Now korea's gdp is over $20,000.

[prolifiktheory]

lol, they got starcraft h4x0rs in their side XD

[mugglelu]

korean cars arn't the best...but they're better than some chinese piece of crap...

[MegatonKick]

so true. type in chinese car crash test and watch the second one. the dummy goes flat

[noimadfritz]

leave their cars alone i think someone sabataged them by replacing the sheet metal with tin foil..ha ha hah ahaha.

[johnturbojohn]

@mugglelu

But still better your parents made you piece of shit :-D

[cjswnsdl]

@mugglelu or japanrsr piece of crap

[pattycarljackson]

@mugglelu noone said they are the best but you are right and they are deffinately better then ford and gettiong better then nasty toyota

[psw3164]

Hyundai sells in Japan, though there're loss.

The test car seems to be UK-export model

[japangeishagirl]

Does Hyundai have an sales office in Japan???

I haven't seen even one Hyundai car there.

[lth0221]

they, used to, but they are giving up in japan. they are gonna focus on the US and Europe

[charliecharlie200]

31 seconds even the dummy is shaking his head in disgust

[radiostyle]

no u r totally wrong because u r really fucking damn moron

[kickyourasspls]

lol youre one lovely maggot..you suck dicks.

[tiburon140]

Whoever compares the Koreans with the Chinese , should be shot.

[InuYasha9899]

agreed ;)

[roawoo]

In my school, when ppl get into a fight, asians beat the crap out of white guys (not white migits but 6'0" ~ 6'4" guys vs 5'11" ~ 6'1" asians)

[jm2trash]

Your name is correct! You are the best... example of a racist piece of shit on youtube. Burn in hell, k? :)

[skooldayz]

IAMTHEBEST.. You are a fuckin tool. Let me guess. YOUR'E WHITE!?.. Am I right. Of course you aren't yellow like everyone else. Wanna know something else that is yellow. A Coward. How bout you say that to the face of an individual of asian heritage. If I knew where you lived, i come whoop your fuckin head you fuckin moron!

Just for the record, it is you who has the small dick.

[hoyeah88]

All those racist shit, shut the fuck up, you white trash have soft dick, no fucking strength to get into a hole, I have small dick, and make our mom and sisters cry..

[Jon747]

and your families are a copyright of white race

[madisonian07]

Not bad...comparing this middle size car with it's competitor such as Camry and Accord.

[ttong1620]

only... satisfaction

[keiwata262]

Pause at 0:35 it looks like the dummy's saying "hey, what the hell just hit me!?"

[palebeachbum]

Wow they do a side impact pole test now? That's news to me. Compared to other new midsize cars, it didn't look like it did all that great with the front impact test. The side tests looked very good based on what I know to look for in dummy movement.

[tjpark1111]

lol smaller cars dont make them anymore dangerous in head on crashes with cars of equal size.

[smukai2]

The Smart, a car 3 times smaller got 5 stars too.

[mercedes814]

1 star beacuse i hate cars

4 ever Moto Cross!!

[Hassan7mideast]

BS, the sonata got 5 stars!

[mikenlv]

you shouldnt rate things by looks

[InuYasha9899]

Im not but in IIHS tests it got a good rating and NHTSA gave it 5 stars

[ambientflier]

NCAP testing is tougher than the US ones, that's why. A car that got 5 stars from IIHS might only get 3 on NCAP.

[SCEINIC2008]

everyone knows that

[ambientflier]

Obviously Hasan didn't.
