I had a Sonata GLS as a rental for nearly a week about a month ago. I
thought the car was inferior to the Accord, especially the drive
train. The 4 cylinder engine was not nearly as smooth as the Accord
I4, this problem worsening with higher RPMs. The Sonata's auto trans
shifting was abrupt at times. The interior was OK, nothing more. Ditto
handling. Fuel economy was disappointing. IMHO, the Accord is FAR
superior to the GLS (which is the lowest end of the Sonata line).
