2009 Sonata synonymous with value
One of the hallmarks leading to the overwhelming success of Hyundai in the last decade has been its philosophy of over-delivering on its products, and the 2009 Sonata is a fine example of that concept. This generously spacious and comfortable sedan hits the market at slightly under $22K. My topped-out Limited example bore a list of $31,495. That eclipses just about anything else in the segment.
In addition to rewarding buyers with outstanding value, Hyundai is scoring some of the highest marks in reliability and initial quality. Any uncertainty in those regards is addressed by one of the best warranties in the business.
The 2009 Sonata Limited is a tremendously satisfying car to drive for those preferring vanilla to more exotic and passionate flavors.
