Latest Hyundai Sonata Frequently Asked Questions:
Does anyone have a 2007 Hyundai Sonata GLS? and not happy with it and why? Im trying to decide whether or not to make this purchase and i have to buy it tommorow if i want to get it for $15,100. Is that a good price? HELP!!!!
Answer:I have a 2006 Sonata GLS V6. Excellent handling and power. Transmission is tuned for smoothness rather than super-brisk shifting. 34 miles per gallon on highway (with a HUGE car!!!), but only about 18-20 miles per gallon in the city with medium traffic intensity. I joke that this would be the ultimate car for a travelling salesman, but I guess that would make it good for anyone going on road trips all the time. Everything is lined with upholstery, unlike in Camry and Accord. The glove box has dampening so it feels quality and is lined. The trunk is fully-lined, but is not lined on Honda Accord. Go look at one and notice the light inside the glovebox and really look at how it's put together and then you'll know how fanatical these guys must have been. Rear armrest is good too. Back seat to die for, and the car seems like a luxury car if you're riding in the back seat -- the same can't be said for Camry or Accord. And while the Camry and Accord have better recognition, it's nice to have a sleeper. The Sonata V6 is faster than the BMW 530i, yet cost $20,000+ less. I'd probably get the I4 though this time around for gas mileage's sake. I'd rather get 24-26 consistently than 20-22 and have more power...but that's me. THE ONLY THING I HATE ABOUT THIS CAR IS THAT YOU CANNOT PLUG YOUR IPOD INTO THE STEREO AND IT IS REALLY HARD TO CHANGE THE DECK OUT. The car does come with XM satellite radio standard though. ALSO, don't forget - all the safety stuff is FREE on the Hyundai. The same can't be said for everyone in the segment, nor for the 100,000 mile warranty. Don't forget that Hyundai has #2 owner return rate second only to Mercedes-Benz. I am in a business dealing with a lot of rich people, and the frugal ones snatch up Sonatas and Hyundais in general like it is their dirty little secret. lol, if you get one you'll know what I mean. Once you own one you're convinced it is not even comparable to Honda Accord or Toyota Camry, this is a car to be compared with cars that don't exist. Why? There really isn't another pseudo-luxury-economy/value-sporty car on the market, period.
I want a 2006 hyundai sonata or elantra. I was just wondering what would be the average price of the car next year. I plan to purchase it mid may or july.
Answer:well i think it will depend on the global industry as you can recall usa is having a economy crisis so that mean it could be a factor of having more or let me say higher price in all kinds of products,
I have a 2002 Hyundai Sonata GLS 2.7L. I started to unscrew the shift knob, but it won't come off and now I can't tighten it. I just spins around freely now. Any suggestions on how to tighten it or take it off. Thank you in advance!
Answer:Check with the dealer (you may need a Vehicle Mechanic)
I am considering taking a job which will require me to use my 2008 Hyundai Sonata, which is a lease. I am reimbursed for my miles, so is it worth it to just take the mileage reimbursement each week and put it in a savings account until the end of my lease and then just pay the overage charge? How much does Hyundai charge per mile for exceeding the limit? It is a 31 month lease with a 31,000 mile limit.
Answer:two arms and one leg should about cover it actually - it should be in your lease - called the FINE PRINT all the best
How do I make a 2005 Hyundai Sonata beep when I press lock/unlock buttons? The lights flash, but I want it to beep, too. Why? Cause. It'll annoy the owner of the car.
Answer:You have to press lock two or three times before it beeps, that's what mine does.
