2011 Hyundai Sonata Limited 2.0 Turbo Review

Bullz-Eye.com’s staff member recently reviewed the 2011 Hyundai Sonata Limited 2.0 Turbo. Check out what the car expert had to say about this ride.

Hyundai has been on a roll lately and the 2011 Hyundai Sonata Limited 2.0T will only grow Hyundai’s presence in North America. Bullz-Eye recently tested the 2011 Hyundai Sonata Limited 2.0T and we were very impressed with all that this car has to offer at such a reasonable price.

Exterior
When I first took a look at the 2011 Hyundai Sonata Limited 2.0T, the sleek design stood out and made a grand first impression. Hyundai grew the offerings of the 2011 Sonata with the Limited 2.0 Turbo, adding 18-inch hyper silver alloy wheels and dual exhaust to the already very sharp exterior. Our pearl white test model also included side mirror mounted turn signal indicators, front fog lights and enough chrome trim to enhance the car’s appearance. The smooth look of the 2011 Hyundai Sonata Limited 2.0 Turbo garnered plenty of compliments during my time behind the wheel and many confused the car for a more expensive luxury brand.

Interior
The interior of the 2011 Hyundai Sonata Limited 2.0 Turbo is loaded with options. The design is as far from conservative as one could imagine. I liked the wine leather interior seats, which worked well with the dark dashboard and carpet. The panorama moon roof was awesome and, with features like push button start, heated front and rear seats, leather wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, steering wheel mounted cruise, audio and phone controls I was looking forward to spending time in the 2011 Sonata. Also in our Limited package was an Infinity am/fm/XM audio with a popping subwoofer, HD radio with multicasting, iPod/USB and auxiliary input jacks. To round out the package, Hyundai included an integrated bluetooth hands free phone system, electrochromic auto dimming rearview mirror with compass, navigation with high resolution touchscreen display and rear back up camera. The 2011 Hyundai Sonata Limited 2.0 Turbo is loaded but that only gets you so far if the interior isn’t a place that you want to spend time. Thankfully, the look and feel of the interior is again something you would expect from a much more expensive vehicle. At times I did see some sun reflection from the shiny plastic finishing in the interior but that was a minor negative in what is overall a very well thought out cabin.

Besides the 45 horsepower output increase, Jeep’s parent company, Chrysler, also promises fuel mileage that’s about 13 percent better than the previous SRT8.

The 2012 Mazda3 sedan with the 2.0-liter SkyActiv engine and SkyActiv automatic transmission will get 28 mpg city/40 mpg highway, Mazda said today. That’s up from the 24 mpg city/33 mpg highway rating of the 2011 Mazda3’s 2.0-liter engine.

2012 Nissan Versa impresses at the New York Auto Show and keeps prices in check

2012 Nissan Versa impresses at the New York Auto Show and keeps prices in check.

From AutoGuide.com:

The 2012 Nissan Versa does something rare, though not entirely unexpected these days: it gets bigger and gains a surprisingly slick interior, but keeps its $10k sticker.

Nissan’s smallest car gets completely redesigned to target the global market: the V platform (V for “versatile,” in Nissan marketing-speak) will be sold around the world as the Tilda, Versa, or Sunny. And like the previous model, it will still be built in Mexico.

Under the hood, the Versa gets a new 1.6-liter 4-cylinder that produces 109 horsepower and 107 lb-ft of torque. Transmissions are a 5-speed manual and the Xtronic CVT, a revised example of Nissan’s long-standing experiments with variable transmissions that gets a broad gear ratio of 7.3:1 and an auxiliary gearbox with planetary gearing. How’s the mileage? 33-mpg combined, and a 37-mpg highway rating that isn’t bad but lags behind that of its Fiesta and Accent competitors.
