which one to buy (2011) I want these options-navigator, auto transmission, 4 cylinder,air cond, power windows and auto door lock. I like alloy wheels but not the real big ones, 16 inch is big enough, 15 even better. music not important or power seats or leather. I found it hard to decide because to get a navigator some of them make you buy 2000 to 3000 dollars worth of options. I'm basically a Honda person but our daughter likes her Sonata too.

If you want to buy a car with all of those accessories, i will chose the Honda Accord. you see Hyundai Sonata may improved it safety ratings and performance for the 2011's but they are a cars that are poor in Reliability and resale value. some of Sonata's accessory feels cheaply made and not impressive looking. my friend has a 1997 Honda Accord and he had driven it for 8 years and it is now 194k miles and runs great. it doesn't feel old at all. The Accord offers smooth/sporty like drive. Honda genuine parts offer one of the best accessories for the Accords. I will recommend you to buy the Accord because it is the perfect sedan you will not regret buying.

If this was 4 years ago, the answer would be easy, hands down teh Honda Accord.

BUT, comparing 2011 models, the Sonata is, in my opinion, just as good if not better than the Accord. (by the way, I own an Accord, and love Hondas). If you are looking at 4 cylinder models only, I would really suggest the new Sonata 2.0 Turbo. It is a 4 cylinder with a turbocharger, giving you the performance of a similar V-6, but gas mileage more like a similar 4 cylinder.

Also, I suggest not getting a built in GPS navigation system. Like you siad, most of the time they bundle that package in with other options and it usually ends up costing thousands of dollars. Instead, just buy the car you like best and then invest in an aftermarket GPS such as a Garmin Nuvi.

Hyundai has a great warrantee, and the looks and quality are definitely right up there with Honda now, but I do not think you will be dissappointed in either choice.

My suggestion, test drive both, and chose the 1 you personally like best.

Last time I went car shopping, i was 99% sure of the car I wanted, but when I test drove it, it went to the bottom of my list. Testing them is the most important part.

Hyundai Sonata.



The Ford Fusion is made by Mexican workers in Mexico.

The Honda Accord is made in Marysville, Ohio.



Which one do you think is helping American workers?
