"I want my vehicle to have great pick-up; when I give it gas, I want it to say, "Yes, Ma'am!!!" and GO. The Sonata did just that. My dealership didn't have any V6's, but the four cylinder was very impressive! I was surprised."
"I look for a quiet engine and I could barely notice that I was driving this car as it was so quiet."
"Good acceleration for entering freeways, Sonata performed great there. Lots of get up and go!"
"Well, when we popped the hood, I was immediately impressed with the air-intake. I know enough about engines to know that is important for performance. The engine had good pickup for traveling on and off our many highways here, a very important attribute. It was a smooth ride."
"I look for an engine that will get up and GO when I ask it to. The 6 cylinder 3.3l engine on the Sonata absolutely blew me away."
"I like a car that moves when you step on the gas! I could not even believe that the Sonata had so much pep to it! I stepped on the gas, the car just went, and I heard a little voice in the back seat (my 21 month old daughter) exclaim "WEEEEEEEE"."
"I look for a quiet smooth ride and power. The Sonata completely lived up to my expectations. In fact it surpassed my expectations."
"I look for a car that gets very good gas mileage, accelerates quickly and where the engine performs quietly. The Sonata met and exceeded my expectations. While stopped at a traffic light, I actually had to check to see if the car was still on because it was so quiet and I felt no vibrations."
"I thought it would just be a dinky driving car. I was impressed with the easy pickup and smooth shifts, as well as the deceleration when I took my foot off the gas pedal. At one point in my test drive, I was in traffic and stuck in a lane closed for construction. I felt comfortable punching it to get into the other lane, and was surprised at the immediate speed pickup. I was also glad to find almost no engine noise inside the car."
"I look for an engine that will give me the ability to drive on the interstate with ease. I liked the way the car responded to acceleration. I felt that the response to passing was good."
"I look for a great balance between good efficiency and good performance, and the Sonata again exceeded my expectations in this area. The all-new engine is 3.3 liter, compared to our minivan which is heavier but only a 3.0 liter. You can really tell the difference in the power, timing and performance. The suspension gives superb control and comfort in riding. And I love the idea of the Shiftronic, being able to switch between automatic and manual, a big plus for my husband and me! A sleek design externally makes for a smooth ride!"
