There are many other cars on the road that offer greater fuel-efficiency. However, PRLog does say that the interior and the range of engines are more than what rivals offer. The best of the lineup seems to be the Sonata SE 2.0T, with its turbocharded engine, and the great part is that it cost less than $35,000.

You have to be amazed at just how much Hyundai packs into their 2011 Sonata – considering its low price tag. You know that you can feel safe with its traction control, six airbags, as well as it performing well in both side and rear crash test. If you were ever to roll the car, then you can feel safe in the knowledge that the roof scored highly on this part of the tests as well.

If you are looking for a family car and are on a tight budget, then you cannot go wrong with the 2011 Hyundai Sonata. If you did not know the make of vehicle, then you would be forgiven for thinking that you were in something with a higher price tag – maybe even something German.

According to David Sarno of the Los Angeles Times, Hyundai only know of less than ten problems reported by owners concerning the steering on the new Sonata. Towards the end of August The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began investigating the issue after some owners reported that they had lost the ability to steer the cars.

A spokesman for the company – Jim Trainor – said that the loss of steering was a worst-case scenario for the defect. Mainly owners were reporting of a “looseness”, or heard a sound when turning, and were on cars which had covered less than 1,000 miles.

The actual repair is quite a simple one if needed, the steering is inspected to see if the bolt is loose or threaded improperly, and Trainor said it may take as long as an hour, and added “As far as recall costs go, this would be toward the lower end.” The recall concerns Sonatas made between December 11 2009, and September 10 2010.

The recall affects about 140,000 Sonata models, which in fact is the Korean carmakers best selling model, so getting the issue fixed will be a high priority. According to one owner who had only had the car for a few weeks, he found that the car was pulling to one side, which he then had to take back to the dealer.

After an inspection they found that the wheels needed a re-alignment. However, after just one more week the car was back in again with the same issue. Instead of having the vehicle for three days like the first time, they kept the vehicle in for two weeks.

This incident was written on the Hyundai Forum back in April, and they could never solve the issue. It has taken the carmaker months to recognize this as a series issue, and hopefully the recall will be able to fix the steering issue for not only the owner above, but the other 140,000 or so owners as well.
