2010 Hyundai Sonata GLS I4

$2,881 total savings (expires 2/1/10)

Hyundai Sonata

Consumers can get a good deal on the current Sonata before a redesigned version goes on sale later this year. The Sonata is competitive in the family sedan category and has a number of features for the price. It has a roomy, nicely finished interior with simple controls. The ride is comfortable and handling secure, though not particularly fun to drive. The four-cylinder returns 26 mpg overall and electronic stability control is standard.

How this information can help you get the best price

The key to getting the lowest price on a car is to know how much negotiating room you have. That means knowing all of the current sales incentives, including behind-the-scenes dealer perks. That information is what makes the CR Bottom Line Price the best place to begin your new-car negotiations. It's calculated by subtracting any rebates, dealer incentives, or holdback amounts from the dealer-invoice price. That gives you a good idea of how much negotiating room you have below the car's sticker price. Armed with those figures, you can often save thousands of dollars when buying a new car. Get the CR Bottom Line Price on your next new car through Consumer Reports' New Car Price Reports.
