A Review of the All-New 2007/2008 Hyundai Sonata
Overview
The 2007 Hyundai Sonata stands out as a stylish and impressive vehicle. While its predecessor often drew comparisons to a Jaguar, the 2007 model elevates its design with Audi-like front lamps and a rear reminiscent of the Accord. The sleek roof pillars and upright driver's position further enhance its aesthetic appeal.
Comfort and Interior
The Sonata offers a smooth and quiet ride, with interiors that are both spacious and comfortable. The driving position is excellent, with ample head and legroom for rear-seat passengers, accommodating even larger adults. Wide door openings and spacious footwells ensure easy access, while the seats provide good comfort?"though firmer padding might be appreciated on long journeys.
Performance and Features
The Sonata handles quietly, effectively suppressing wind rush. Though the engine note rises with speed, it's not annoying, even if the tires occasionally thump over ridges. The car's balance control is impressive, smoothly managing road imperfections, sharp bumps, and fast curves.
Offered in three models, the Sonata provides varied options:
- Limited Trim: This top-line model features a 235-hp V6 engine, 5-speed automatic transmission, heated front seats, automatic climate control, and fine leather upholstery.
- SE Model: Shares the same engine and transmission as the Limited.
- GLS Model: Comes with a 162-hp 4-cylinder engine and a choice of a 4-speed automatic or 5-speed manual transmission.
All models include ABS, traction/antiskid control, and front-side and curtain-side airbags, ensuring safety and stability.
Competitive Edge
The Sonata's main advantage over competitors like the Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, and Nissan Altima is its blend of comfort, spaciousness, sophisticated design, reliable performance, and attractive pricing.
Evolution and Recognition
The 2007 model is a bigger, sharper, and more technologically advanced version of the redesigned 2006 model. The previous year’s Sonata was celebrated in the automotive press, receiving accolades such as:
- "Best Family Sedan" by MotorWeek
- "Safety Excellence" award from Popular Mechanics
- "Best Buy" by Consumers Digest
- "Best in Class" by Kiplinger’s Personal Finance
In addition, the 2006 J.D. Power and Associates Initial Quality Study ranked the Sonata among the top three mid-size cars, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration awarded it five stars in crash test ratings for front and side impacts.
Areas for Improvement
There are still areas for improvement. Taller drivers may find it challenging to get comfortable, as the steering wheel doesn't tilt up far enough. Additionally, an armrest between the front seats could enhance overall comfort.
In conclusion, the 2007 Hyundai Sonata is an outstanding vehicle that combines style, comfort, and performance, making it a strong contender in its class.
