Beyond the many fine traits exhibited by our Sonata (relatively quick, refined ride quality, solid ergonomics, attractive interior materials, etc.) I personally like the color. It's a maroon/brown shade (official name is "Dark Cinnamon") and it looks quite upscale, particularly for a $23,000 car. I took possession of the car just after it had been washed, but limited garage space meant it had to sit out at curbside. It struck me at one point that the car, in all it's freshly-washed, Dark Cinnamon glory, looked quite attractive parked out there...
I never thought a Hyundai would enhance the look of my house, but this one did. Unfortunately, some brainiac was burning trash in the Lockwood Valley, a few miles north of me, and now a raging fire is dumping ash on every uncovered surface in the neighborhood. That includes the once-shiny Sonata. Somebody needs remedial Smokey the Bear training.
