Sonata's are not that bad in the snow
This is the first year I got a set of blizzaks for the front and it handles great. I wouldnt go flying in the snow like some SUV drivers do but I get through it just fine. Before this year I only used the all seasons and there were a lot of times where the car slid a bit.

I love the Continental ExtremeWinterContacts on my Tiburon. Not that it wasn't great in the snow before, but with the new tires its better than ever.
Winter/Snow tires are definitely worth it.

I see a lot of Sonatas around here and never seen one stuck in the snow so I guess your right but any car can be great in winter conditions if they have a good set of snow tires on.

Front heavy fwd vehicles are probably the best 2WD vehicles you could hope to have in the snow. I don't see a sonata as being uniquely better than any other fwd V6 sedan in its class though.
