Hyundai did make a model called a Pony

Yeah, it was a hatchback that they promptly made a utility coupe out of. Gotta love utes...

Looks like a pretty nice car tho.

Lmao this is pretty much what i did with  this thread xD

My Dad has the Sonata 2012 Limited. Great car, but the radio that comes with it is crap.

It's been 8 months, but I think you guys need to be reminded of the HYUNDAI SONATA.

 

Why?

 

Because it's the HYUNDAI SONATA

 

Marketed in other markets as the HYUNDAI i45

 

The HYUNDAI SONATA

 

BUT

 

The HYUNDAI SONATA

 

Is it really THAT GOOD?

 

Is there anything better?

 

Better than the HYUNDAI SONATA!?

 

Surely not!

 

Well, actually, there is. Many, many things.

 

You see, there's something wrong with the Hyundai Sonata, and in fact a lot of cars available on the US domestic market; They're just a bit rubbish.

 

So what are we going to compare the Hyundai Sonata to today?

 

This; The 2014 RenaultSport Clio RS 200

 

 

Why? Because we fucking can.

 

So where do we start? Well, lets start with the important shit; The Clio is fucking BRIGHT METALLIC YELLOW. Look at that shit. Don't like yellow? You can have it in red, or blue or black or white or grey or any of those fucking colour Renault have if you ask them fucking nicely. Renault 1 - 0 Hyundai

 

The Renault has a smaller engine too, with a turbo. It's a 1.6L Turbo from a fucking NISSAN JUKE for fucks sake. Does that make it slow? FUCKING not at all son. This little shit will do 0-60 in 6.5 seconds, and tops out at 145MPH, and that's without having your ECU remapped for more power. Both the Renault and the Sonata make as near as makes no fucking difference 200 horsepower. Renault 2 - 0 Hyundai

 

But before you think "Oh well it must be inefficient as a toaster at a breakfast buffet that doesn't quite toast your toast enough because it's that INEFFICIENT." You'd be fucking WRONG. This French fuck gets 46 Miles Per Incorrect American Gallon on the highway. 11 more miles than the Sonata, and 5 more miles in the city. Renault 3 - 0 Hyundai

 

This is a fucking city car too. This fuck loves being in the city. Look how small it is. LOOK AT IT. It's smaller than a VW Golf. It's front wheel drive. It has 200 HP. It's light as fuck. Renault 4 - 0 Hyundai

 

But this motherfucker can do those highways too. It has a semi automatic gearbox. Set that shit to auto and you got yourself a little yellow fucking cruise beast, that can happily push it in the fast lane. Renault 5 - 0 Hyundai

 

"But I need to fit my family/dog/a wardrobe into my car" This thing has five seats. FIVE. And the same amount of doors. It's a hatchback. You can fit a wardrobe into it. You can't fit a wardrobe into a Hyundai. Or a postbox. Or a wax sculpture of George Foreman. Renault 6 - 0 Hyundai

 

What about entertainment systems? We all know the system in the Hyundai is shit. Not in the Renault. It even has settings so you can make your Clio sound like a spaceship or a GT-R. It's fucking mad. Renault 7 - 0 Hyundai

 

The Clio fucking handles like a race car. It does. It's got mad power, no weight, a turbo AND it has hardened and lowered suspension and a set of Brembo performance calipers and rotors. Renault 8 - 0 Hyundai

 

Did I mention that the Renault is so fucking good it has it's OWN FUCKING RACING SERIES. And it's actually amazing to watch to. It's basically NASCAR with turns that go both ways and little French hatchbacks. Renault 9 - 0 Hyundai

 

That's Nine - Nil to the Renault.

 

So what we've learned is that the 2014 RenaultSport Clio 200 is better than the 2013 Hyundai Sonata Limited.

 

Not that that's helpful, as the Clio isn't available anywhere on the US market, and the Sonata isn't available on the European market. No one will ever have to make that choice.

 

I hope I've wasted your time thoroughly enough.

Umm, am I still on Jalopnik?

[Fleur-De-Lis 350]

*spontanious realization* Its secretly their take on a car that secrety uses Sonata Dusk to sell their cars! ... and its her choice in car!

 

Sillyness aside ... I think i'll just see what its supposed to be when they make the darn thing, at this point its either they dont know what they are doing, or they are using the mystery for shameless publicity.

 

Scratch that, i dont know anything, the little I knew about it was from an old episode of top gear UK

Is this thread just copypasta from /b/?

 

Either way, I got a Kia Spectra. I live the KDM life yo.

[Shaunnnnnnnnn 8]

No copypasta here. None at all.

Just cause you don't like it, doesn't make it bad.

Excuse her, typical Dodge fan things anything without horns sucks. I am in the automotive field. If you want a good solid car that will last a couple hundred thousand miles, it will make it to I'd say 170K fairly easy but past that trouble MAY arise. They come with quite a few bells and whistles and but so does anything these days. My pick would be a Toyota Camry though. That thing will last till the next ice age and even then it might put around.

Just make sure you pronounce Hyundai correctly. It's hi-un-die not hun-day.

Lol. This is an oddly specific thread. I used to drive an 09 Hyundai Sonata. It got totaled last September. To be honest, my father drives a 2017 one. He has had nothing but problems with it. When he bought it, it had scratches on the hood that he didn't notice until he got it off the lot. It's been over two years and the hood still has overspray on it. Also, in the past few months there has been a recall on Hyundia and Kia cars due to something to do with the cars computer making the engine wear itself out way too easily. So, he brought it to the dealer to have a software update on it and it was "completed". After that he drove it around for a day or two and the car went into a safety mode due to this malfunction and wouldn't go over 1500rpm or something like that. It also then stalled after wards and essentially died. He then had it towed to the dealership where it sat for over a month until someone "fixed it". Right now he has had it for like a week and it has failed just yet.

So basically, Sonata's are shit and Hyundia is owned by a bunch of Koreans who are too proud to admit that they made a faulty car.
