The HYUNDAI SONATA is a large, four-door family saloon, rather than a hatchback or SUV. In the UK it is a less common used-car choice than familiar rivals such as the Ford Mondeo, Vauxhall Insignia and Volkswagen Passat, so buyers may see fewer examples for sale. It offers a spacious, comfortable alternative for people wanting a traditional car. The SONATA suits families, commuters and drivers covering longer journeys, with a roomy cabin and a relaxed, comfortable feel typical of this class. Its straightforward saloon shape and generous passenger space are appealing if you do not need an SUV’s high seating position. Compared with rivals, its relative rarity can make it a distinctive choice, though parts and examples may take more searching. mycarcheck.com logged 417 checks across 193 VINs.
