anyone? reviews all look good. Seems to be a great value for the $$.

Girlfriend is looking for a new car in the mid 20s that must have nav and heated seats lol.

I used to hate Hyundai and even my parents in Korea did not even consider buying one.
But current generation Sonata and Genesis are really good.
Having said that, I'd buy Sonata over Camry or Altima.

sonata wagon is coming. if i was a family man right now with kids, i'd rock one and black that shit out stealth style :P

For that price and size, guess you are stuck with the Sonata. Not that it is a bad position.

Check out the 2011 Kia Optima too.

They did a good job of catering to two separate markets with these otherwise identical cars. People usually love one design and hate the other.

Personally, I prefer the Optima design. But I don't hate the Sonata, either. I just think the front end is not quite right. Rest of the car looks great.

I heard it is not as good as some magazines are writing. You can always check emdunds under the consumer reviews to get a better feel for the car and I really don't like the design.

Didn't know that the car is named Optima in the states, they are called K5 in Korea and have been selling like hotcakes.
I also prefer the Optima over the Sonata, especially designwise.
