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.

in 2003, hyundai ranked SECOND most reliable. second only to toyota.

USA today

of course, in the past, they sucked, but at this new century, they are starting to kick butt.

affordable, best warranty, and now, really reliable. i actually wanted one of the 3rd gen tiburons but they were too expensive for my budget frown.gif

having people bash hyundai without knowing any real facts is really gettin old.




i think that is intial quality test. Its how solid built the cars are when they leave the factory. There is no way to test how reliable such a new car is, unless its a complete lemon.

IMO, the only way to tell if a car company has turned around with its production is to look at the older cars with 100k+ miles on the odometer and is at least 8 years old.
