| I attended the FT Lauderdale Auto Show last Fri. Mar.17, and picked up at the Hyundia exhibit a form explaining the Auto Show`s $500. rebate good on Sonata`s purchased by Mar. 31, 06 The Hyundia Gals said that although the printed ad specified only 7 Hyundia Dealers in Miami-Dade and Broward County, Hyundia would honor the Rebate anywhere in FL. Even gave the name of the Hyundia Southern Area District Sales Manager as a reference. Has anyone had luck with this $500 rebate outside of Miami-Dade or Broward County? I bought my Sonata the day after the Auto Show at FitzMall in Clearwater FL and as you might expect, they said ( say what?) neverheardaboutit. I had the dealer fill out the Factory Rebate form for the $500. (pending) approval with rebate (IF) issued to be sent to purchaser and (NOT) dealer just in case I get the matter settled. | |

We went to the dealer to checkout their Sonatas. Had trouble getting the seat comfortable for my back. Also had trouble setting the left mirror for the blind spot. They ended up sending the one that was behind several cars home with me, so I can check it out without pressure. Right off the bat, while driving to a gas station, I noticed it was a really hard ride. The other one I drove didn't seem that hard. My husband thought it may be the tires. Later on the way home, it didn't seem that bad. Still not a smooth ride. Is this typical? The odor coming from the vent makes me queasy. My husband says it's from the brakes and will go away. Is he right? The driver seat is very hard, spent alot of time trying to find a comfortable setting. I am at the age where my back hurts and I need to watch my posture and sit straighter. Then being tall/long waisted, has me almost hitting the ceiling when I sit straight. What should I check out tomorrow morning? They told me they had quoted the lowest price already. Thanks. S |

With back problems you should then consider the GLS not the (leather Seat) LX. The seats will not get any softer with age! Also the GLS has softer ride due to different tires! Is this from NPR? I didn't know they let you keep the car overnight... that's good! Check for any noise while driving. Check when the car was manufactured: there is a plate (close to the bottom) facing outside between the front driver door and the back door! It shouldn't be more 4-6 weeks... if not it has been sitting there for a while! There shouldn't be any odor coming from the vents!! It could be from heavy traffic fumes of US-19 vicinity. Drive it Sunday morning when there is little traffic and see if you still have the odor! There is a sensor which will close the vents when there is a certain amount of pollution outside! It has to be activated (pressed/Lit): it is the little button to the left of the Large Right Knob(Fan control): it has the letter A in a circle: (A for air).

Just bought the GLS w/ sunroof for $16.2K. I went ahead and added the 10yr/100K mile 0 deductable for another $1,400. My wife kinda wanted the piece of mind, and I just don't have much experience w/ Hyundai so wasn't sure of 60K would be good enough. Plus, we plan on putting 18K+ per year on the car, so 60K would only last 3-4 years. Just not sure if 40K is worth $1,400 for coverage.

Replying to: suzannafl (Mar 25, 2006 7:30 pm) About a hard ride. The Sonata is stiff to say the least!. Sure drives great though!. About the Seats. To me it looks like the passengers would be more comfortable. The seat is power adjustable and leather. That's the best I can say for it. Hyundai is not known for total comfort seats. You can however adjust it so you are sitting straight up, but I too find myself hitting the roof with my head. Was it worth the extra cost, yes! My Car has no odors, and just a limited Leather smell  as I was stuck with one of the older units as referenced above  It even has a couple scratches from Hurricane Rita, Wilma, and Andrae, a local gang member. I also paid $18K for the Unit
