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.

$152 per month for 72 months with $4000 down and perfect credit, or somthing very similar rolleyes.gif But hey, people gotta do what they gotta do when they want somthing bad enough...

Back on topic, I really don't forsee a fairly fresh Sonata as a bad purchase, if you are willing to own it for quite some time. They have gotten really good reviews in terms of overall livability from many sources, and as already stated, the newest Hyundais are getting great reviews in terms of inital quality. As long as you keep up on the required mantinance to still have the 100K warranty be valid, i'd say smart choice smile.gif

I'm beginning to belive that buying a "bad" new car is becoming increasingly difficult smile.gif
