2010 Hyundai Sonata - Fun, comfortable car
My Hyundai Sonata looks like much more expensive vehicle. It has a sporty body style while still being a 4-door car. The interior of the car is very roomy for a mid-size sedan, and the back seat is very comfortable for passengers, which I really like since a lot of mid-size sedans don't have comfortable back seats. Also, in the back seat it has a flip-down armrest/cup holder combo that keeps the passengers as comfortable on long trips as those riding in the front. It is great on gas for it's size and not being a hybrid: 29-33 mpg depending on driving conditions. I was concerned when I first bought the car that it wouldn't have enough room in the trunk, but looks can be deceiving.

Pros
I love how well my Sonata handles. It does just as well in the now as it does on dry roads, which is important in the area I live as we have snow 8-9 months out of the year.

Cons
There are very few things that I don't like about my car, but the one that drives me crazy is the tire pressure gauges. If the tires lose even a pound of pressure the gauge will light on the dashboard. I know it is a safety issue but living where I do, tire pressures fluctuate as often as the temperatures do. I also dislike the fact that the usb plug is inside the center console between the front passenger seats. If the cord is not in the exact spot reserved for it, it will get pinched.
