Replying to: dovid2 (Jul 08, 2009 10:15 am) When I picked up my sonata the dealer neglected to deflat the tires from the 60psi that they are inflated to when the car is trucked from Alabama. This gave the car a somewhat "stiff" ride on the way home.... where I checked the tire pressure and bled them down to 32psi. Might just want to check yours.

Replying to: jack47 (Jul 08, 2009 2:03 pm) To the extent that the critics have any point about the deficiencies in the Sonata's suspension, it's the one recurring issue that seems to be the biggest complaint about the car. Much to some peoples' opinions, I am actually rooting for Hyundai to succeed. I want to see them steal thunder from Toyota and Honda, who have been resting on their reputation for far too long, and have not come up with any significantly better product in many, many years. In fact, I honestly believe both are falling back in terms of quality and especially design and innovation, if anything. I would buy a Sonata over an Accord and especially a Camry, especially since a comparably equipped Sonata is 5k to 6k cheaper, and comes with a better warranty. |

Replying to: mikemartin (Jul 06, 2009 8:04 pm) As for my own experience I just got back from a 3500 mile trip and did not notice any suspension noises. I was actually pretty impressed with how quiet the cabin was at high speeds. Of course this could be because previously I owned Pontiacs which has extremely high wind noise. The outside temperatures was between 97 - 105 during the day but the cabin was comfortable. |

Replying to: kenlight1 (Jul 08, 2009 8:46 pm) The editor in chief of cars.com said "the Sonata has as many rattles and as much noise over rough roads as a car with 100,000 miles on it." I don't know what part of that you don't get; that's not the picture of a "solid ride," as you put it, to me or anyone else with common sense. |

About the only negative starts out with the phrase "If there's a fault...". Reading comprehension tells me that the reviewer had to grasp at straws to come up with a negative. So this is where I believe you make the attempt to change day into night. |

| While not having any problems with suspension noises with 15000 miles on my 09 Sonata limited. Just wondering if there any after market struts available and what the price would be? | |
