2001 Maxima SE or 2001 Huyndai Sonata
#1
I mean I know that everyone on this message board owns a Maxima and that most everyone here is a big Nissan and Maxima fanatic and that everyone here went through the car buying process and obviously prefers Maxima's over all other cars in its size class and price range, but I was wondering what you would choose...a Maxima or a Sonata?

Hey Michael, I wont be sarcastic but I was about to ask if this is a question. Let's face it. Here in Canada a Sonata would sell fully loaded... for around 33K CDN + taxes for 2-3K more you have a real fully loaded Maxima 2001 Se 20 th.
The new Sonata look ok, for the average car driver ( not for me though) For a so small difference there is no choice go for the Max. You wont regret and the Sonata is not in the same category, look at the specs.
Good luck.
Cheers

I did see a Sonata, the other day, on the road with all emblems taken off and windows tinted limo tint. I'm sure that car's owner is on some sort of site called "http://iamembarassedaboutmycarsoiscrapedallthelogosoffand tintedthewindowssonobodycanseemeinit.org"
Oops...I guess I did it again.

Hyundai Sonata
Hyundai's have really improved and I will take a loaded, slightly modded Sonata over a base 4 cylinder Camry CE. They are a great deal and cost somewhere in between the Altima and Sentra. However, I feel the Kia Optima (a nicer twin of the Sonata) is even better for the money.

so·na·ta (s-nät)
n. Music
A composition for one to four instruments, one of which is usually a keyboard instrument, usually consisting of three or four independent movements varying in key, mood, and tempo.
If that doesn't SCREAM performance I don't know what does!!!

We cant' compare the two,
The Maxima and the Sonata each occupy a different segment.
The Sonata is not marketed as a sports sedan, and probably never will. They don't show sonatas on TV sliding around on a desert making a big rooster tail. We have to remember that the Maxima is a 4door Sports Car, Sonata is not. And let's not forget that many of us are having problems with Maximas too.
We need to compare it to Camrys and Accords, 4 cylinder.
When compared to cars in its targeted segment, I think Sonata is a good car, but I must admit that it looks UGLY!!!!!
The new Kia Optima is basically a Sonata, but it looks way better than the Sonata.
Hyundai needs to do someting about its styling. I dont' like the new Elantra because it is ugly.
In compact cars, Neon looks the best.
Bottom line, let's not compare the Maxima with a Sonata, because they are in a whole different class.

how about the xg300?....
i konw that this thread is just for bagging the sonata, but what do you guys think about the hyundai xg300? it seems to have some nice features, like the shifttronic tranny that the max doesn't have, but should. also looks good to me, for a hyundai.
