Review of 2006 Hyundai Sonata (First Drive)

[Banana]

Edmunds posted a First Drive article for the 2006 Hyundai Sonata. Bad news for Hyundai haters.

Nice touch for Half-Life fans, many of which are Koreans, I'm sure 😀

The styling is on the safe side, but looks better than the Japanese incumbents, IMO. Is it just me, or does the AC control panel have a disturbingly humanoid look?

Title Edited

With a little customization they look better than average...

the Azera also features a truly elegant interior that outdoes the best efforts of many Japanese rivals.

Edmunds sure loves Hyundai.

Rice, really? It's just got tint and some rims. I thought it looked pretty tame compared to the Rice I see. No wings on the back, no stupid paint jobs. I don't consider it Riced.

Eat your heart out GM.
it blows the GM interior out of the water.

Lose the stupid decals, take the wheels down an inch, and lighten the tint a shade. It's a Sonata, not a limo. 😛

Chuckle at the lambda symbol on the engine cover though. 😀

Sponsors for what? It's not a race car, or a competition show car.
It looks more to be a model car for a tire/rim company (that is blindingly obvious).

exactly, why else would it be sporting a decal ?
the fugger probably got the rims rela cheap or even free for rocking that decal.

Because the wheel/tire company owns the car and is showing off its product on the car?
Or the car is owned by an employee/owner of the wheel/tire company.

Very simple concept.

Either way, it's still a hyundai. 😀

Unfortunately true, but Ford is the worst, IMO.

Wow definitely cheap.

GM is 0wn3d again. It looks nice.

I swear to God all Hyundai did was buy the rights to the previous-generation Accord. Looks just like one. No wonder its so good! 😀
