From previous experience on another Hyundai product (a 2003 Santa Fe) I can try to provide some information on several of your questions. I suspect the Sonata remote operation is very similar to our ex-Santa Fe.
1)factory remote is/was 100% consistant unless battery becomes bad/low.
2) factory remote on our S.F. opened the doors from over 100 ft away (estimated). So far in fact that the re-lock feature (re-locks doors if not opened within 30 seconds)actually would operate at times because I could't get to the car within the time frame.
And finally there IS a limit on the number of factory remotes that can be programmed. Although I can't recall exactly I THINK 3. Hope this helps somewhat.

That is true. Car salesman hate the internet buyers as they don't make any money off the sale. Where it gets tricky is if you have a tradein/neg equity, etc. But if you know what you want, buying through the internet can get you the best (or close to it) price on that vehicle.

#7222 of 7871 Sluggish steering by rhs63

I've got a '07 Sonata GLS. I like almost everything about the car, but the steering feels very sluggish and vague, especially when compared to my Toyota which is sharp and crisp. Can anyone second that? Is this by design?

Yes, the Sonata's steering is a bit "vague" and I find it also a bit stiff. One of the only negatives I can find in this car, compared to both the Camry and the Accord, which I know intimately.

The 07 SE I have has very good steering for both feeling and response. I have heard the GLS version with the smaller wheels has had some complaints in its reviews.

I realized that after the oil change the noise is very minimal or completely gone. But comes back after about 300-500 miles. Also, in hot summer days the noise is either very quiet or none. It is RPM sensitive(2000-3000), only in first two gears.

Based on your title description, it sounds like your car has the Flu!

I use soap and water on mine and a bristle brush. I have never used a tire cleaner. Our shop uses something called "hotshot" they just spray on then rinse off. Seems to work ok and they use it on all wheels.
