The 2008 Hyundai Sonata is a pleasant surprise.  It is a peppy, beautiful, well-made car and the price is right.  The base price for the Sonata is $17,670.  To get the limited model with a four-cylinder engine, an automatic transmission, and heated seats you are only looking at $22,470.  This kind of savings allows you to shop around for an auto warranty to protect your investment.

The Sonata’s exterior is actually a dead ringer for the Accord from the previous generation.  However, the interior is superb.  It has great detailing complete with reverse stitching on the comfortable leather seats.  Also ideal is the placement of the dials and gauges.

Another bonus is the Sonata is equipped to handle very well in snow.  This is just a front-wheel drive vehicle, yet it is able to keep it’s footing in treacherous conditions.

The Sonata also gets good gas mileage.  This is a plus with gas prices on the rise.  The four-speed automatic will get approximately 21mpg in city driving and 30 mpg at highway speeds.

All in all the Hyundai Sonata is a solid car with many surprises.  It is a peppy, beautiful car with a superb interior.  It resembles the Honda Accord, except in price.  You will be saving big on this gem.  If you purchase the Sonata make sure you protect your investment with an auto warranty.  Even though the price is right, you don’t want to shell out extra money in the event of a breakdown.
