The new Sonata is a brilliant car. I have had some serious fun blasting across the ECR (chennai - pondy) in one and I can tell you on a good day, with a good driver it will thrash the Accord. But hey, Honda knows how to make engines (what a glorious i-VTEC unit in this one) and depsite the fact that it is the underpowered car here it can beat the Sonata to 100 kph. I prefer the new-age look of Hondas and especially the Accord (it does look like a concept car that managed to hit the road, right?. While the ride quality is comprable the Accord gets more marks for handling. And yes, the Accord has a better designed interior that ages nicely, while the Sonata interior is a neat yet boring place to be. Any day, I would choose the Accord - but that does not mean the Sonata is a bad car. Yes, the rice rocket wins!
