Opinions on the Hyundai Sonata, the new ones.. Options

[Jen]

Well, I'm getting a new car. I was looking at a car in particular (I won't say which one), and I am very close to buying it.. BUT.. I then found a 2006 Sonata that I like that is well below the cost of the car I was originally looking at. Like $10,000 less.



What do you think? What do you know about Sonatas? I'm researching the web, but I'd like to hear ya'lls input.

Hi Jen,

just my 2¢ worth of long-toothed wisdom and observations.

1- i have never run across a disgruntled Hyundai owner, my baby bro has one they love it. i have a co-worker that swers it is her car maker for life, she's had 3. i grew up with a girl who had a PONY, yes the ORIGINAL North American import by Hyundai. she drove it into the ground (it took her 13 years to do it and she sold it to a farmboy for 500$).

2- if i didn't own a 6gCelica i'd have a Tiburon ( no, not the one with the rediculously large spoiler ).

3- it all comes down to making the payments, don't it??

4- if it has the V6 package I only have one question-- why aren't you driving it yet? the shifttronic tranny will keep you happy as a pig in...well, you know. OH KRAP!! i just took a closer look at the pics...it has the V6..235 bhp + shiftronic...when do we go for a ride and hunt down Celicas????

no more wisdom, no more observations...sign zee papers

BTW I'm with Devilsden ... CHROME?!?!? j/k

Final Word
The all-new 2006 Hyundai Sonata is a giant step up for Hyundai, moving the brand closer to Honda, Toyota and Nissan, and contesting for buyers considering Ford and Chevrolet. There's nothing unique or especially exciting about driving the new Sonata, save for the fact it's a Hyundai. By that yardstick, and what that portends for shoppers in the class, it's a blast.New Car Test Drive correspondent Tom Lankard filed this report from San Francisco.
