Hyundai has come a long way since Hyundai cars first hit Bellingham streets back in 1985.  I don't think many other car companies really thought they would ever be a force to be reckoned with.

Boy, were they wrong!

Consumer Reports recently tested four 4-door sedans to see which was best in its class.  Your Whatcom County Hyundai dealer, Hyundai of Bellingham is happy to announce that the 2011 Hyundai Sonata for sale in Bellingham and the 2010 Nissan Altima for sale near Seattle, beat out the Suzuki Kizashi and the Chevrolet Impala.

Consumer reports gave both the 2010 Nissan Altima and the 2011 Hyundai Sonata Excellent ratings, while the Altima was the only car of the bunch to receive the highly coveted recommended rating. 

If you're a Bellingham Hyundai Sonata owner, don't worry.  I believe that in time the Hyundai Sonata will be recommended eventually by Consumer Reports, but for now the freshly redesigned 2011 Hyundai Sonata is too new for Consumer Reports to have reliability data.

Your 2011 Bellingham Hyundai Sonata also the just earned the rating of Top Safety Pick from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.  In order to earn a Top Safety Pick, the 2011 Hyundai Sonata for sale near Mount Vernon received the highest rating of "good" in all front, side and rear crash test. 

All 2011 Hyundai Sonatas for sale in Bellingham are also equipped with electronic stability control.  This will help you get back on track if the car starts to slide off the road and is considered by many car experts the greatest safety invention since the seat belt.
This will be the first time a Hyundai Sonata has earned the Top Safety Pick from the Insurance of Highway Safety.

The designers of your all new Bellingham 2011 Hyundai Sonata spent 4 years developing the redesigned 2011 Hyundai Sonata for sale at Hyundai of Bellingham.  The 4-door roomy 2011 Hyundai Sonata Sedan appears to be more of a coupe than a sedan.

The 2011 Hyundai Sonata for sale in Bellingham has graceful curves, a chiseled  chrome grill and the raked roofline that in Hyundai USA words "give it a fluid-like feel even when it's standing still."

When you become a Bellingham 2011 Hyundai Sonata owner, you are going to save a ton on gas.  The 2011 Hyundai Sonata gets an incredible 35 MPG on the highway with its new 4 cylinder 2.4l Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) engine.

The 2.4L GDI engine delivers an estimated 200 horsepower @ 6,300 rpm and 186 lb.-ft. of torque @4,250 rpm.  Power and good for the wallet and the environment, that's my kind of car!

Please come down to your Bellingham Hyundai dealer, Rairdon's Hyundai of Bellingham to test drive one for yourself. 

Seattle Nissan Dealer, Nissan of Auburn, sells the 2010 Nissan Altima, the other 4-door sedan that stomped out the competition.  Nissan of Auburn is the newest member of The Rairdon Group.
