Summary:
This has to be one of the best cars in the market! I have the 2.4L GLS model with the necessary stuff that is standard on all Hyundai's plus I got a moonroof and power seats! I work for a Nissan dealership and was planning on getting the new 2008 Altima but I never liked it, even now! This Sonata has the best interior and exterior quality and I have to say that the great materials on this vehicles don't fade as quickly or get scarred as my previous vehicle a 2006 Altima 3.5SE. This is a fun to drive vehicle and it looks good from every angle, unlike the current Altima with it's nasty styling, bad interior space and the same goes for the coupe. It also feels more substantial, compared to the 2008 Altima and it has a great warranty! I've owned a Hyundai before and this company has come up from what they were 20 years ago! I love my Hyundai and would purchase another one. The Altima is too hyped up and gimmicky for my taste and it isn't the best vehicle out there. The interior quality is sub par, the ride and handling is more sporting but it feels less substantial compared to other cars in its class. Also the entry level models don't come with the standard features that my Sonata has. It may rate high with consumer reports but in a current Motortrend comparison test it got a 4th place win, not to mention the Altima coupe lost to an Accord Coupe in an Edmunds.com comparison test and in a Car and Drive comparison test it again lost to the current generation Accord. If you look at the Altima it is quite small compared to other cars in its class.

Strengths:
Engine, transmission, suspension, stereo (adjusted the audio controls it has some boom!) interior quality, exterior quality very nimble and light on its feet steering is precise and communicates the manumatic transmission is the best and holds revs!!!

Weaknesses:
none at all!

Summary:
Smooth car, no bad for a 4 cyl. engine. I drove it 120 mph for 15 sec. I never thought could make it. After that the TMPS warning light came on. Weird. I checked the tire pressure and just one tire was lower but the TMPS warning light is still on. I hope didn't happen because the speed.

Strengths:
smooth ride. good gas mileage car. seat confortable for long trips. Well designed car. Older hyundais were really ugly

Weaknesses:
radio sound poor. Should have a light under the hood, for night inspections
