Hyundai Australia drops Sonata (i45)!
Wow...
Hyundai - Hyundai Australia drops i45 sedan | GoAuto Hyundai Australia spent a fortune on TV Advertising here for this model over past 2.7 years, when I come to think of it I don't see very many on local roads.. But to drop it...wow, they are giving up to Camry and Mazda 6 the top mid size car sellers here. The i45 (Sonata) was/is plagued with poor driving dynamics (suspension/handling by the press) with the old Mazda 6 just killing it. I guess it goes to prove yet again that Hyundai/KIA produces cars which look ''good'' but just don't drive like the best in class. HA are blaming 'supply shortages'...that is just BS. You do not flog a product on TV and then blame shortages, does not make any sense. |

Bingo mate. |
Surprisingly they are outselling everything except Camry's and Accords here in the U.S.. Decent looking cars though.

sonata owner here, even mine is a hybrid, suspension stuff are the same and yep, the handling is complete garbage.
when it was still fairly new, i was going thru some winding roads and i was afraid to go faster than 50 cuz its so unstable it almost feels like im gonna do a 360 if i push it faster. its not just the suspension setup thats garbage, tires are garbage too. thats why as soon as i hit 25k i changed the tires with bridgestone newest turanza serenity plus. what a night and day difference,! the handling still sucked but at least i can go faster than 60, jesus it also shows that americans really cant drive for shit, give them a nice looking junk and they will buy them. cough*apple*cough |
