Actually, i had a 2009 Sonata rental for a week and i REALLY enjoyed the ride!! This little car is quick, responsive and the ride is really nice. This is coming from the guy with 2nd and 4th gen ES's. What year did you have? I'd be really surprised if it was '09...
We had bought an '09 Limited Sonata. The 17" rims made this the hardest riding car I have ever had. It felt like being in a go cart. I did much research and reviewing and the Sonata had passed up Toyota Camry in everything. The car had nice fit and trim. Don't get me wrong, it is a beautiful car. I was just disappointed in the too stiff of ride and I should have spent more road time before I bought. Perhaps I am getting a little older because 20 years ago I may have loved the stiff ride. Here in Wisconsin, the roads are just not that smoothe due to our winter frosts and heaving of roads. Anyway,
wlfng is correct - not possible to compare the two.
Do love our ES!!!
