The 2009 Hyundai Sonata is good-looking, outside and in. Its proportions are well balanced, and its detailing is pleasant—and its newly revamped interior is a standout. It comes in three trim levels all with essentially identical styling: GLS, SE and Limited. A slight update...

Other Choices:

The true competition for the 2009 Hyundai Sonata is the large four-door sedan with less emphasis on road manners and more emphasis on comfort. The Toyota Camry and Honda Accord have long dominated this niche, though the Camry’s reliability has slipped by some reports and the Accord’s styling has ventured off on a slightly odd tangent. The Nissan Altima’s an exceptional large sedan, with quick steering and slick styling, but a less useful trunk and like all but the Accord, less room overall than the Sonata. The Chevrolet Malibu scores like the Sonata in room and style, and like the Camry and Altima, it comes in hybrid trim too (covered in separate reviews).

    I looked at Honda and went with a 2009 Sonata GLS. I feel I was getting a better car for my money. The car seems to keep out road noise better and really all the Honda sales rep could say "It's a Honda." With cash rebates and warranties I feel I did better with this car.
    I got sunroof, Bluetooh, iPod connect, etc. Unlike my Chevy Cobalt everything seems to fit like it should.
    My first foreign car. My last General Motors vehicle. I hate to say that but I want value for my money. GM just doesn't have anything for me anymore and probably never will.

    I too have a 2009 GLS Sonata. Prior to that I had the 2006 GL Sonata (car wreck ended the 3 1/2 year journey together) and I also traded my dreaded Cobalt in for it. The Sonata has easily been the best car I have ever owned. I love what you get for the money, and the new inteior is wayyy better. It is a combination of the reliability experience and the updates that made me go with another Sonata. You honestly cannot go wrong with this car. I was just in a 2009 Accord for a week on vacation and I really was not impressed. The Sonata isn't as agile but I'll take the more comfortable ride over bumps. Definitely seemed a little quieter than the Accord in some aspects as well. The Accord is also half a foot longer, the Sonata has just as much leg room without adding more of a hassle for parallel parking. Highly Recommended vehicle for the practical minds out there.
