If you simply must buy a foreign car, then buy the Sonata..it looks better and it's cheaper.
BTW, anyone who still thinks a Honda or Toyota is better than any other car is a fool. There is no difference..you buy what you want, what you can afford, what suits your needs. I'm not saying Honda doesn't build a good car..they do, but so does everyone else. IF the Accord/Camry/Sonata etc. is something you like, and you like driving it, great...but don't run out and buy one because somebody TOLD YOU that they are the best.
Honda and Toyota have a reputation, one they don't deserve, for superior quality. The public perception that they are so wonderful is reinforced by import-biased media outlets and magazines, and by word of mouth of owners who truthfully know about as much about their car as they do about their TV or microwave oven. To these people, a car is an appliance, nothing more. They buy, and repeat to buy, a Camry because they are told to. The fact that a Camry is about as dull as sliced bread doesn't bother them..it's "superior", afterall. Anyone who spends the money on a new car should take more interest in what they are buying, and why. Make your OWN decision, evaluate everything out there that suits your needs and budget.
Also, I should point out, that I have no axe to grind with Honda or Toyota, I just hate to see more ignorance from import-biased people pushed on others as "advice". I would be happy to send pictures of the 2002 Honda Accord my wife purchased, that was BOUGHT BACK by Honda under LEMON LAW legislation. Also, I invite anyone to visit the NHTSA website and see for themselves the number of RECALLS for Honda and Toyota. They might be surprised.

The Sonata is the cheapest . However it is not as reliable as the Camry and Accord. The Camry and Accord have the best reliabilty of these three and is why the Camry is the number 1 selling car in America. The Accord is 2nd. If you want a car built to last you can't go wrong with the Camry or Accord. Though if you don't keep a car with over 100,000 miles the Sonata may be the choice for you. After 100,000 miles the Sonata is unreliable. Hope this helps you decide.

Toss up between the Honda and Toyota. Go drive them both, and figure out which is best for you. If you like a soft ride, go with Toyota. If you like a sport ride, go with Honda.
Hyundai has improved dramatically, but is still not on par with Toyota or Honda. For instance, the front quarter panels are not even painted on the engine side, under the hood. I'm not kidding. Their process didn't figure out that they wouldn't be able to paint there, so they left it bare. The problem has been corrected for 2007, but it makes you wonder what else they missed.
**If you have any doubts as to the superiority of Honda and Toyota, go out and drive 100k mi versions of them. Then go out and drive 100k mi versions of Chevys, Dodges, Fords, Suzukis, Hyundais, and anything else you desire. If you still don't see and feel a difference in the tightness and solidness of the car, then you are indeed looking at things through a warped perspective. Yes, everyone pretty much builds cars that will run forever now. The difference is that the Toyotas and Hondas are still NICE cars at 100k mi. even if they've been trashed, they clean up very well. **

Sonata. All three are right up there in quality and safety. With Sonata you get more car for the money. Or put another way, the accord and camry will cost you more than a similarly equipped Sonata.

ACCORD. i have an accord, my boyfriend does, my best friend, my best friends mom, my co-worker, etc, etc, etc. hyundai's just aren't new enough to be as reliable as honda. and toyota is a reliable car, but its old - i think of my grandparents.
as a happy accord owner, i highly recommend you buy one as i have never had a single problem with it and neither has anyone i know who has actually had one. it gets good milage and the stress of not having to worry about it breaking down (used to own a VW jetta - constable paranoid about it break and then it did FOUR TIMES). hope i helped!
I know for a fact that the toyota is the most popular car out there as of right now (its what like 20 years old now). but honda is the most reliable - hand down! it is more expensive but its worth.
i just had a friend who wanted to by a hyundai b/c of their warrantee and it was very hard for me to get her to understand that they DESIGN WARRANTEES to only affect ONE PERCENT of the entire POPULATION. the things that it covers should NEVER go wrong, and if you buy a honda, they won't.
