#682 of 1006 Steering 'feel'? by xmech Nov 17, 2008 (6:34 pm)
I'm considering buying an 09 SEV6 Sonata, and even test drove one a while back. The biggest thing to strike me was no real feedback from the steering wheel while driving. I thought it's just because I'm used to my car, and I would just get used to it if I got one, but I read in several magazine & website reviews abut complaints of a 'numb feel to the steering'.   How do you current owners of the 09's feel about it? (Pardon the pun...)

Replying to: xmech (Nov 17, 2008 6:34 pm) We have an 09 Sonata Ltd 4cyl and while it definitely does not have a lot of "feedback" in the steering, it still goes where it is steered. It's my wife's car and she has no problems with it. I drive it rarely but when I do, it is fine by me.

Replying to: fscot (Nov 18, 2008 4:40 am) Not sure what yall are meaning by "numb". It's not a real stiff steering response, is that what you mean?   But, I do have a suggestion if you are looking to buy a '09 Sonata. Test drive the car over an area that is a washboard-type surface before you buy it. I have a GLS and in my eyes the suspension is horrible-----clunking so much it sounds like an old car. And we live in an area where there is A LOT of truck traffic...so, guess who isn't a happy camper! Replies to this message: backy (Nov 18, 2008 7:50 am)
#686 of 1006 Noise when going over bumps by peridoc Nov 18, 2008 (7:04 am)
I have a Sonata 09 V4 Limited and I have started hearing a noise when going over bigger bumps/holes in the road coming from either behind the dash (on the driver's side) or where the driver's side door meets the dash - I can not pinpoint the exact location. It is not a constant rattle, but rather a plastic crack sound (like plastic on plastic) when going over a bump. Has anyone else heard something like this? Has anyone pinpointed what this might be? I figured I should ask so that I have some ideas when I take the car in to try to get it corrected...although it probably could be a number of things.   Thanks for any advice!

Replying to: loradora (Nov 18, 2008 6:00 am) One thing to keep in mind is that the SE has different suspension and steering tuning, and different tires, than the GLS and Limited. So driving impressions of the GLS and Limited will likely be different from those of the other trims. For example, if you check out the dozen or so owner reports on the '09 SE on Edmunds.com (and filter out those that are mislabeled (some are definitely NOT for the SE), there are very few complaints about steering feel. Also, Motor Trend thought enough of the SE I4 to make it their 2nd choice in the mid-sized sedan field, only behind the much more expensive Passat 2.0T. They also said that if money is a consideration, the Sonata is the best choice. I am wondering how often money is NOT a consideration these days for people buying a new family car?

Replying to: xmech (Nov 17, 2008 6:34 pm) I have had my 09 for a couple of months and it does turn very easy. I do not see the disadvantage to it turning easy unless you were in slippery conditions like snow/Ice /hydroplaning where you can normally feel the steering wheel getting "lite" so you may not realize you are losing grip.

Replying to: xmech (Nov 17, 2008 6:34 pm) I have had my V6 2009 Sonata limited for about 6 weeks now. And yes it's a little numb. I miss my Infiniti I traded for it... and miss my 3 series even more.... but I have 3 kids now and I need to me more practical.   Yes the steering is very light, but you can still drive it fairly hard without issue. It goes where you point it unlike a camry.   With the possible exception of the Altima, you wont do better than a sonata in this price class...
