10 Things You Should Know About the 2011 Hyundai Sonata
Hyundai’s midsize sedan aims for the best in the class.

Introduction
No model embodies the Hyundai brand better than the Sonata. This South
Korean manufacturer’s midsize sedan has gained a strong following in
the United States as an automotive bargain, a car that offers most of
the room, comfort and capability of the class leaders for a more
reasonable price. However, I’ve always thought the styling to be
uninspired and the ride and handling balance leaning too far toward
slushy comfort. For 2011, Hyundai is addressing those issues with an
all-new Sonata. Featuring even more room, improved handling, fresh
styling, and a fuel-efficient powertrain the Sonata is promising, while
retaining its price advantage. With changes like that, it’s no wonder
that Hyundai is the fastest growing brand in the U.S.
