Oh dear.. I feel old already... can't really comment on the
'character' as it's all a matter of taste but it's pretty
aerodynamic. (from the techncial sense if that's what you are
referring to)
It's really not that bad... It has respectable power and I outpace
a lot of cars on the road... and at much higher comfort and lower
noise level... When one has to drive for long every day, these are
really important factors...
AND lastly, for a person of limited means and needs to save for
retirement, I do not have to be in debt for too long and too
much... 
Anyway, i guess I'm pretty pro-NF Sonata... But just to show I am
young at heart... I thought of Mazda3 quite a bit but dropped it as
it was really underpowered and too expensive - the price difference
with Sonata then was only a few thousands...[/img]
