Hyundai continues to provide dependable motoring - tramn HYUNDAI on page C4 blues the dtllerence betwees nid- aîîd fulli I drove both the Lîînîtcd V6 wîîh spotîr package and the GL itli auttumitir that wîll probablv 6e the voltume seller. The V6 us very puiicby wîth nîce engtne torque/gear spacîng un the tutomatue. Suspension oin the Sonata is double wîshbones ai the front and a multi-lînk independent set up ai lthe rear. MacScruts would have heen sim- pler and lets costly, but Hyundai knows the wîshbooes give a mure solîd feel yeî are more cummunicative. 1 put most ut nîy miles on the V6 on a sari- eîv ut roads iii and around the Townofu En wîth ics prcstine streets and bouses and large presence of OPP On gravel roads, the sport suspension wvitb its stîffer spnings and stout stabilizer bars didn't take the rus and wash- board surface that kindly. On a normai bîgb- way surface 1 could feel the difference fri taut- ness and response compared toi the normai suspension of the 2.4-litre. By the samne token, the 2.4-litre was much more forgivîng on the saine gravel sîretcb but dîd not reaci as fast as the V6 with sport pack- Tbm 2.4- te alîti gets ttp to speed nîceiy but nothîng lîke the V6 that feels larger in dis- pîlacement tîtîn il is. However, the 2.4-litre wîtlî us great mîleage makes it the smart choîce based un the rising cotîs ut fuel. The answer ihere, of cocîrse, is the 2.4-litre wîth the sport package tu get tbe bandlung and fuel economy ai the sanie tîne. Futher way, the 2009 Sonata continues to do wbat Hyundai dues best and thats provîde dependable motorîng wiîh a surpristng bist of features at a poice ihat leaves the competitton gasping.
