I live in New York State, and tried 5 dealerships- no one sells manual transmission, GLS. I bought my last car way back in 1987, (stick), my wife bought a stick shift Subaru in 1999 no problem, I testdrove a 2007 Mazda6 with stick, other manufacturers make a stick shift....why not Hyundai on the east coast? If you bought one I'd be interested to find out what state, what month.

| I own a 2005 Sonata GLX, am having problem with the clock. It dose not keep track of time, this happen after I took the car in to have the trim around the driving light painted. When I pick up the car the clock was not working, return the car the following day, dealer say it need a new clock, this has been going on for about a month. Has anybody have this problem? | |

Hi All, Just purchased a slightly used 2006. Have used this forum to research it, and thanks to you all, getting rear "thump"(shocks) fixed, and had dealer acknowledge timing tensioner ticking problem and will fix. Now if i could just have one of you long time Sonata owners tell me where i can find the model tag, i sure would be grateful. Want to order some custom seat covers for it, and need correct model to insure proper set to order. Dealer didn't put model on slaes contract, but it must be located somewhere on the car. Thanks to any/all in advance.

Replying to: hejamada (Feb 19, 2007 5:07 pm) Just to add my troubles to the mix, I also have a slightly used 2006 LX. Mine sounds like a diesel at low RPMs and makes an awful roaring sound when I start it. I presume that is the timing chain tensioner problem you are referring to- is that right? I also have the gas tank sloshing and thudding sounds and my ambient temperature gauge was over the actual temp by an average of 20 degrees (recently fixed). As a family, we also own a 2006 Kia Sedona which has had a few recalls so far. I've owned many Optimas, Sedonas, and Sonatas due to their value, style, and comfort. I'm trying to become one with my 2006 Sonata, so I hope I can get these issues resolved once and for all. I really love my 2006, but I can't spend 1/2 my time in the shop as I did with my 2001 Sonata GLS. Oh, and I've been getting an average of 21 mpg while burning regular unleaded (87).

Replying to: tuggles1 (Feb 19, 2007 5:22 pm) Thanks for the howdy. No, i can't say mine sounds quite like that(Thank goodness). As far as the gas sloshing goes, i've gone through 1 and 1/4 tanks, and haven't heard it yet. The timing chain tensioner noise i'm refering to is just an audible ticking sound at start up when cold.(nowhere near diesel sounding,) and i drive a diesel for a living. I think if it sounded like that, i probably would be driving something else already. My own personal biggest concern is the suspension sounds on this thing. Yes, they are willing to replace rear, but the front (struts/shocks/plates) are alot more loose sounding than they should be on a basically "NEW" car.(8896 miles). How did you determine yours to be the LX model?

Replying to: bhmr59 (Feb 19, 2007 6:01 pm) Thanks for the get back. No to leather seats, sooooooo, guess that means it's the GLS?????(it is the V6, with QZ trim). Guess that should allow me to order the "right" seat covers for it. Thanks again!!!
