This website, as well as others, had a lot to do with me eschewing the domestics or more established foreign nameplates in favor of a Hyundai. I'm glad I trusted the reviews of professionals and owners alike, because this car has the potential to be my favorite of all time. I'm 51 and am rather fussy about my possessions. For $19K with every imaginable option, this LX delivers. I've had it for a month and love to get behind the wheel. The ride is VERY controlled and predictable, if somewhat firm, and the cabin is remarkably quiet and refined. For a guy who's hard to please, I'm satisfied!

I have had this car for two years. I absolutely loved it when I first got it but that soon changed. First, the power window motor went out which the dealership replaced. Second, the alternator had to be replaced. Third, the engine had to be replaced. Fourth, the flywheel had to be replaced. I'm just waiting to see what goes out next. I called the dealership to try to trade this piece of junk and was told to come down and they would help me trade and give me the employee price. That was a joke. I purchased a lemon from them and I was stuck with it. I wouldn't recommend this car or the dealership.After reading the reviews, most people seem to be satisfied. Now I know I purchased a lemon.

Hyundai doing better than LEXUS

I never expected excellent quality from Hyundai until today. Well this one runs like a Lexus ES330. Well actually better than the Lexus. The top two Japanese brands - Honda and Toyota won their high reputation over the past couple decades. I think Hyundai will achieve the same high reputation within the next two years. This 06 Sonata OUTPERFORMS Toyota Camry and Honda Accord not only by the price advantage but also by its built quality and superior performance! Also check out the new AZERA (Premium package including 2 memory seats and a navigation). This model will be built to compete over the Lexus ES330, Acura TL, BMW 3 series and Infinity M35 etc.

Love my new car. Have had Hondas and Nissans but this is far my best vehicle. Great on mileage. Drove it to Chicago to break in. Averaged 41 hwy and 27 city which was great. Would recommend it to everyone.

2006 Sonata Great Ride

This is my 3rd Sonata in 10 yrs. The last one was a 02 Sonata. Had 55,000 miles on it when I traded it for the new 06 GLS Sonata. Still drove like a brand new one. Main reason for trading was the new design and the 3.3 6cyl with the dual exhaust. And ofcourse the peace of mind of having the new warranty for 6 more yrs (bumper to bumper) Very quite ride and very fast. Got the cloth seats instead of leather this time. The seats are very comfort and fit to you body. Saved alot of money by going thru this site and doing your homework on prices. Get the dealer quotes from the links off of this web site. You will save thousands before you walk into the door. Internet Sales Dept is the best way.
