So far, it's proving difficult to find any substantial flaws in the considerable armor of the 2011 Hyundai Sonata, and the case for it only grows stronger when you consider the price points. It's bang-on $20 grand for a base GLS with manual transmission, and the full-zoot Limited sans navigation commands just a hair over $26,000. This is, quite frankly, a tremendous amount of car for the money.
It's clear that Hyundai is leaving no stone unturned in its quest to dominate the segment in every category, both objective and subjective. When it comes to size, dynamics, fuel economy, power, equipment and price, Hyundai has brought a howitzer to a gunfight. Our first brief fling with the Sonata suggests that it has the measure of the segment.

Very nice. I like it a lot better than the NF. And I like the NF. smile.gif
I've been watching the dealership here. I'll go drive one once they get them in stock.
