You simply have to test drive a 2009 or 2010 Sonata to see how far Hyundai has come in 25 years! While we wait for the next generation, which should appear sometime in 2011, the Sonata is back this year without major changes. It is still powered by the 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine or 3.3-litre V6. The basic version’s standard equipment list is quite good: satellite radio, telescopic steering wheel, and six air bags. To get a GPS system, you’ll have to opt for the more expensive Limited version.
