    But does the Sonata include Toyota's Killer Floormats™? Toyota needs to emphasize this competitive advantage in their advertising.

    I loved the Sonata Limited I test drove. I would have gotten it if I hadn't been laid off earlier this year. Save for the flimsy-feeling console and sun visors (Hyundai still makes the flimsiest ever, I loved the ride and the overall solid feel of the car. I am starting a new job next week, so I may just put it back on my list of things to get LOL.

    Stingray : November 4th, 2009 at 8:23 am I see autogoal in his statement. Or he PWNED himself with that. Because he indirectly said a Chundai Sonata is a great car. You mean own goal? Yes. Totally. Incredibly funny one, at that...
