Reviews of the 2005 Hyundai Sonata GL 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 4A)
-
CNET Review
The Good: Powerful 235-horsepower engine; Shiftronic transmission mode; low price.
The Bad: Ugly stereo interface; labyrinthine shift pattern; lack of system integration.
The Bottom Line: The Hyundai Sonata EX offers a very compelling competitor to the small-sedan segment, which will have Toyota and Honda looking over their shoulders--however, don't expect too many digital comforts.
Manufacturer: Hyundai Motor Company
Part number: 100477686
