Of course I chose the (2006) Sonata. I have one.

I had the privilege to compare it side by side with the previous generation (2005) Sonata. The new car is much better in every way, especially performance.

I've also had the chance to test drive a host of other mid-sized sedans including the Mazda6 V6, Nissan Altima 3.5SE, Honda Accord V6, Camry V6, Pontiac G6, Chevy Malibu Maxx, Grand Prix GTP.

The 3.3L Sonata ended with the best blend of luxury and sportiness. Yeah sure, Hyundai has a reputation of mediocrity to shake off. But after seeing a 2004 Nissan Altima 3.5SE being towed away and even a late model Camry at the road side with hood open, I quit relying on reputation. I went and test drove each car, examined closely the interior and mechanicals, price, plus whatever appealed to my wife.

It came down to the automatic Mazda6 and the Sonata. What tipped it over for the Sonata was the excellent room in the back which the Misis loved. To me it's the new engine. It's no Evo. Not by a long shot. But it's no slouch either. I have a pissed-off SVT Focus driver and a surprised 5.0 Stang GT driver as witnesses. "Yes, it's a stinkin Hyundai, and I love it!" Imagine it with a supercharger...... Yummy.

As a pure driver's car, I agree. For sheer driving pleasure, the Mazda6 V6 was my favorite. Ayaw nga lang ng asawa. Masikip daw sa likod (???).....

Gusto ko yung Mazda 6 kahit dati pa. 2nd choice would be the new Accord (wala pa dito) and the Hyundai Sonata (under rated dito sa pinas).

[carlocaraddict]

yung Lumina sana dito yung Holden Commodore based. 33 units lang pala nabenta nila last year. Hay nako GM Phils, kelan ba kayo magigising?

I thought Azera was a full-sized car and therefore, excluded. It belongs with the Toyota Avalon and the latest model Nissan Maxima.
