Firstcall Clutched December 24, 2007 Share December 24, 2007 I must agree that they made serious improvement to the facelift. admirable. Esp the interior. I've been complaining how the current interior sucks BIG time and the quality and built is horrible when it first launched. Seldom car manufacturers will try to change the interior drastically. However I must take my hat off for those big changes in the interior. the last car that made some significant interior changes was Mazda 6 but not considered as drastic as Sonata. That said, i still wun praise them for originality. When the car first launched, it was so obvious that they copied and get the ideas for the dashboard from previous gen Camry. Now, it is also quite obvious that they are trying to play catch up with the new Camry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tohto Hypersonic December 24, 2007 Share December 24, 2007 Actually, the engine will also be replaced by a totally new engine, power of 163hp, this will be one of the highest power for NA 2.0L engine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matix Neutral Newbie December 25, 2007 Share December 25, 2007 The Hyundai Sonata is a four-door, five-passenger sedan, and comes with a choice of 162-hp 2.4-liter four-cylinder and 234-hp V6 engines. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelpie 2nd Gear December 25, 2007 Share December 25, 2007 Nicer ad. 1. Nice one. I'm going with SI this time. 2. At least they have "transformed" the interior to meet the challenge. The current one is CMI. I hate that cheapo handbrake . I still prefer the sleek exterior and look of the current one. 3. Another thing is, when the new one arrived, apart from the exterior, we may see a strip-down version of the interior...yet to see. Oops, could be another Taxi in the making.

Darth_mel 1st Gear December 25, 2007 Author Share December 25, 2007 (edited) So ? What's the big deal about a car used as a taxi ? Make you feel malu or wat ? At least if you kenna retrenched and become a taxi driver, you are already in-tune with the car. No need orientation period. On top of that, spare parts will be easily available when the make is common. Edited December 25, 2007 by Darth_mel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelpie 2nd Gear December 25, 2007 Share December 25, 2007 (edited) sonata! taxi in disguise! There are many Taxi models around and this is one of the best. I've "tried" them on the road, apart from cornering, they are pretty fast on straight. This is just not another Taxi on the road.
