| Road Test |
The 2008 Hyundai Sonata is the latest version of the Sonata, completely revamped for the 2006 model year. It’s a generically handsome vehicle with some strong character lines, although editors from TheCarConnection.com don’t quite know from where Hyundai took its inspiration. As a company, Hyundai doesn’t have a long or good design history to draw from.
Regardless, the 2008 Sonata is good-looking, outside and in. Its proportions are well balanced, and its detailing is pleasant, if not remarkable. The two-tone interior of high-line Sonata models is easy to like, and the placement of controls is fairly straightforward. The base Sonata GLS has nice cloth inside, and the seats are comfortable. However, there are some minor issues having to do with materials quality and more road noise than most editors like to hear.
