What Car? says
For There's plenty of kit for your money and it should give trouble-free motoring
Against The Sonata's styling is odd, the drive is dull and the car lacks any real executive class

Go for… 2.7-litre CDX
Avoid… 2.0-litre versions
- 1. There's a massive boot and, if that isn't enough, the rear seat splits and folds
- 2. Mini-cab drivers like them - so make sure you don't inadvertently end up with one that has was a cab in a former life
- 3. Ensure all the gadgets work, including the air-con
- 4. Listen to the suspension and axles for unusual noises - if you hear any, walk away
- 5. Passenger space is very generous front and rear
