Currently a good lease deal on the sport version with turbo.
2010 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Very competitively priced. I saved $3000 when compared to a camry or accord with similiar features.
2009 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Best car for the money.
2009 4dr Sedan 249-horsepower 3.3L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Best bang for your $$$. Test drove comparable Accord and Camry and they were at least $2000 higher with less options.
2009 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.4L I4

Cheep car.
2009 4dr Sedan 249-horsepower 3.3L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Always great incenstives. 0% financing or cash back. That combined with the low price to begin with, hard to beat.
2009 4dr Sedan 249-horsepower 3.3L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Price is 2-5K lower for comperable competitors, Malibu, Toyota, etc
2009 4dr Sedan 249-horsepower 3.3L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Heavy dealer discounting gets you a fully loaded 6 cyl. Sonata Limited at the same price as a base 4 cyl. Accord or Camry.
2009 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD
This car currently has the lowest price point for a mid size car with the electronic stability control, front, side and curtain front and rear air bags all standard. A 5 year 60,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty and 10 year 100,000 mile warranty too.

Compared to the Accord or Camry, the Sonata cost considerably less even though it has a longer list of standard features.
2008 4dr Sedan 162-horsepower 2.4L I4

Its price was lower than comparable sedans for the features that the Sonata offers.

2007 4dr Sedan 234-horsepower 3.3L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD
For all of the standard features on the SE, such as V6, fog lights, 17in wheels, ESC, and side airbags, there is no greater value out there. I feel like I own a $30K car for only $20K. After the rebate, I was out less than some base model cars.
2007 4dr Sedan 234-horsepower 3.3L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD
3-$5000 cheaper then competitve offerings from Honda, Toyota and Nissan.
