2011 Hyundai Sonata SE - Short Take Road Test
Hyundai’s new mid-size sedan backs up its style with substance.
Hyundai is betting big that the all-new 2011 Sonata’s striking looks will hook as many consumers as its thrifty engine and gobs of standard equipment. www.caranddriver.com>We called the car “impressive” on first glancing at its four-cylinder-only spec sheet and seeing it on display at last fall’s Los Angeles auto show. But we immediately wondered whether it would be as dynamically competent as it is aesthetically attractive. More on that in a minute?first, the stats and info.
The 2011 Sonata is nearly an inch longer than the previous model, with a wheelbase stretch of 2.6 inches. The bloat brings the sedan up to the EPA’s large-car classification, alongside the Honda Accord. But weight is kept in check through the extensive use of high-strength steel, beneficial because the Sonata won’t have the V-6 option that its competitors offer but sell in relatively low numbers. The sole engine for now in all three trims (GLS, SE, and Limited) is a direct-injection 2.4-liter four-cylinder that makes 198 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque. Our SE test model’s standard dual exhaust added 2 hp and 2 lb-ft, bringing the totals to 200 hp and 186 lb-ft....
...
Weighing in at a tidy 3340 pounds, the SE hustled to 60 mph in 7.8 seconds and through the quarter-mile in 16.1 at 89 mph. No records were broken, but the times are within a few ticks of the quickest four-cylinder players in the class, the Accord and the Nissan Altima. Our sporty SE model’s skidpad grip of 0.84 g is among the best in the segment, too, but its 181-foot stopping performance from 70 mph is merely so-so. ...

테스트 모델은 200Hp의 SE 모델...
0-60...등 등
같은 클라스의 어코드나 알티마 4실린더 중에선 가장 빠르다.
그러나 브레이크는 merely so-so.
방방뜨던 정도는 아닌듯 하오만
대부분 멋진것에 비해선 브레이크가 (merely so-so)그만그만 하다.
기태옹이 오바한거라는 느낌인데요.
썩었다고요 ㅋㅎㅎㅎ
뭔 근거를 대고 한 소리 하쇼...
보고있으면 짜증 납디다.
딜러한테 알아보던지~!? ㅋㅎㅎㅎ
여러가지 한다.
