If you’re looking for a midsize sedan that is fresh, stylish and loaded with the latest technology for less than $30K, the 2012 Hyundai Sonata is a must drive. Its base price starts around $20,000, but it won’t cost much more to move to the higher trim levels, which include a turbocharged model and a super-efficient hybrid.
Unless you’re turned off by the 2012 Hyundai Sonata sedan’s looks or untested long-term repair history, there isn’t much not to like about a midsize sedan that looks like a high-end luxury car, has a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty and touts resale figures just a few percentage points behind the segment-leading Honda Accord sedan.
