There could be differences if the suspension parts are sourced from different suppliers, or the QC of the supplier isn't great, or if there is a design flaw that causes some cars to have a thump (beyond what is normal for the car) that shows up at some point.

I think it's just a matter of people's taste. I do believe that there is a big difference between a real problem and a minor annoyance. An example would be the complaint with the transmission jerking between 1st and 2nd gear at low speeds. What problems has this caused?. Was any coffee spilled or did this cause any other real or precipitated problems? What set me off was the owner trying in invoke the lemon law over undercarriage squeaks over bumps. In my opinion completely over the edge.

I think a lot of these complaints are from people who would complain if they were hung with a new rope!

Why don't you give us your impressions of your 09 Sonata rather than your impressions of people posting here? We'd be interested in hearing how it's going for you.

My daughter has this car and loves it. I must admit it does scoot around town very nicely and the interior is a nice place to be in. For the price, it can't be beat and if I didn't have my '06 Civic as my commuter car, I'd seriously buy one for myself. Especially with the economy right now, it's a smart alternative for a nice econmical entry level car.
Sat in the '09 Sonata Limited 4 cylinder the other day and boy was it sweet! Nice dash layout and great alloy rims make this car a looker. The interior had plenty of room for 5 and it looked great in the dark blue color. Hyundai has come along way and once it fixes the few niggling problems, it'll be a great car company.

I have a 2009 Sonata Limited V6 and have had NO problems with it. It is very Quiet, the transmission shift is flawless, the fuel mileage is great (32+ on hihgway), No clunk in suspension, drives and handles great. This is the second Sonata I have owned. Both of them have been trouble free which cannot be said for the Ford, Dodge and GMC products (new) I have owned in the past.The Hyundai Quality far surpasses any of my former vehicles! I could not be more satisfied.

I've compared four cars my sister needs help assessing. They are the Sonata, Malibu, Accord and Camry.
 
Out of these, the 2009 Sonata is the only one that had suspension clunking, with 480 miles on the demo.
 
The Camry was disappointing in many ways (the Sonata interior is much nicer), and I was blown away at how nice both the 4 cylinder and 6 cylinder Malibu were - they had the most solid body structure and seemed to be the 2nd quietest of the four (next to the Camry) but with much better interior fit and quality than the Camry.
 
If it weren't for the suspension noise, the Sonata and Malibu would be tied in her book. The Accord dealer was way tooo independent for her to ever consider an Accord; they literally named a price and refused to come down more than $500 and were rude in the process, and there were dashboard squeaks and a glovebox rattle in the Accord, though the demo did have over 1,900 miles on it IIRC.

Sounds to me like the Malibu wins in this case. Show her a Fusion before she buys, though. I think she'll be impressed.
