You are in the Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum. Your Hosts are car_man & kyfdx
I would like to hear opinions on the comfort and quality level of the cloth seating upholstery on the '06 Sonata.

Replying to: mejoza (Mar 22, 2006 4:59 pm) I went to Huffines in Plano. They were, by far, the best. (And I should know.... I went to several...) You're welcome!

Replying to: mejoza (Mar 23, 2006 6:44 am) The seats are smallish and firm. The fabric is very soft and feels nice and rich to the touch. At first I wanted the LX with leather because I will probably keep my Sonata at least 10 years. But hey, my last car was 11 years old, and not one hole or bit of threadbare fabric in the entire car. I guess modern fabrics are more durable than they used to be. |

Sonata GLS 4 Cyl (Bright Silver) $16146 + Taxes, Includes 1900 rebate Bought it from carsdirect.com. Got it yesterday. Lots of room inside. Audio system sounds pretty good. Looking forward to play some mp3s. As per the owners manual wma and aac can be played as well. I was tailgated today. Hyundai recommends not to exceed 55 mph initially. Mileage shown by the trip computer varies a lot. 24 to 37 but I have driven only 30 miles. So far my only negative observation is inside door knobs. They look cheap.

Replying to: sera1 (Mar 24, 2006 12:15 pm) Did you finance through Hyundai? For how many miles do you have to keep it under 55mph?

For how many miles do you have to keep it under 55mph? 1200 miles |

First the manual says there is NO formal break in period for the new Hyundai. It does give suggestions & tips, like not to engage the Cruise Control, and to be easy on the brakes for the first 1000 miles, and yes you are supposed to keep it under 55, but that's when using the temporary spare only

I have a dealer offering me a '06 Sonata GLS 4cyl for $17,299 +T,T&L. The dealer is 160 miles from my home. I've warned him that I dont want to drive for 3 hours only to be suprised by unexpected fees, and he says that wont be the case. What do you guys think? Under any circumstances will dealers fax or e-mail an invoice or a write-up on the offer? What would you do in this situation?

Replying to: mejoza (Mar 24, 2006 6:36 pm) Would you drive 160 miles (320 miles round trip), every time there is a little problem to fix? (not counting wear and tear/ gas/ time lost...) Sure the local dealer may be willing to take a look at it, if that occurs, but I don't think he will be very eager to do it promptly. It is usually the selling dealer who takes care of that: it is part of the prep charges! |
