The 2015 Hyundai Sonata is seeming a little more athletic than the model it replaces. There aren't any major mechanical changes this year, instead, Hyundai is putting more focus on the car's driving dynamics. The previous version of the Sonata grabbed attention with a surprising swooping design. This time around, for the car's seventh generation, engineers at Hyundai were more interested in making the car more of a sports sedan, by making it a better drive. The outgoing model suffered from a rough, jittery suspension and vague suspension. So that drivers can enjoy a more composed ride, the 2015 Hyundai Sonata has gained a revamped suspension and a stiffer body, along with a new steering system that offers greater feedback. It sits on a modified version of the same platform as the 2014, though the new car is about an inch wider and the wheelbase has been stretched a bit for more legroom. The Sonata's front suspension has been revised, and the multilink suspension in the rear was redesigned to offer better stability.

In a competitive car market where thanks to the internet, customers are extremely well informed before walking into a dealership; automotive manufacturers and sellers are constantly looking for ways to offer more than their competition. This is especially true in the midsize sedan segment. One of the most effective tools that a company can wield to ensure smooth sales and happy customers afterwards is service. When the salesman has your old clunker washed by the guys out back as you sip the latte he handed you while you browse the showroom floor, as a customer you're going to feel looked after. These simple and inexpensive touches can help to quickly turn a browser into a buyer.
