Ever owned a Hyundai Sonata? Ever taken a ride in one of these mid-sized Korean economy cars? Well, neither have I, and I never wanted to until I got a look at the completely redesigned 2011 Hyundai Sonata. Former generations for the Hyundai Sonata sold well, had a decent price and have proven to be reliable and comfortable.. Therefore it is not unexpected that the Sonata has evolved into a terrific vehicle. But, let?s not dwell on the past when the future looks so bright. The 2011 Hyundai Sonata is eye catching, and I know you have seen an abundance of these cars around town. Let me just cut to the chase and give you all the necessary numbers. The Sonata is the least expensive (or close to it) of all its rivals in the mid-range sedan segment. The base price is $23,000.. A ten year, 100,000 mile warranty accompanies the Hyundai Sonata. And the fuel economy is 22mpg in the city and 35 mpg on the highway which also leads the class.
