Replying to: seniorjose (Apr 02, 2006 3:47 pm) Which planet Earth do you live on? Not selling them, that's an absolute lie . . . And, Daewoo engines, not quite sir. I think you're thinking of another Korean brand that supplies cars for GM. Remember the Pontiac LeMans, circa 1990? That was also a Daewoo. Hyundais have never used Daewoo engines. Unfortunately, your posts no longer have any credibility, as you do nothing but bash Hyundai - or, anything else that isn't Honda or Toyota.

Replying to: alpha01 (Apr 02, 2006 5:18 pm) Can you or maybe some else give me the pro/cons of the Hyundai GLS V-6, either in general or on the V-6 engine. Nice to see you on this thread - I just came here yesterday, and see that you also post/have posted here. Credulus - It was not me who made any comment about the MacPherson Suspension became cheap/inadequate/inferior in any way. I heard that this suspension was less complicated than others in terms of design. I think the other poster equated this with the suspension being cheap/inferior/inadequate/etc. Thanks, Tina (

Replying to: tinatina (Apr 02, 2006 5:30 pm) Pros: Features/Power/Car for the dollar Nice, inoffensive styling Many Stndrd Safety Features Better Ride Than Accord, nearly as good as Camry Roomy Inside Cons: Questionable Resale Reliability improving, but still unproven Inoffensive Styling low on the emotion meter (for me) Handling not as good as Accord, Mazda6 Roomy interior still not at the quality of Honda/Toyota (9/10ths of the way there though!) There are many more pros than cons with this car.

Replying to: thegraduate (Apr 02, 2006 5:36 pm) * "Interesting" cloth pattern--almost a terrycloth texture. Grippy though. * 16" wheels/tires standard vs. 17" on the LX (17" available as an option). Ride is softer with the 16", but handling not quite as sharp. 17" alloys better looking IMO than the 16-inchers. * Power seat not standard. Seat height adjuster is a lever type and tends to tip you forward as you raise the seat--can be disconcerting for some, sit before you buy (also try the optional power seat, it has independent height adjustments for fore and aft). * Manual HVAC vs. automatic climate control (on LX). * Steering wheel doesn't telescope as on the LX--check that all drivers have a comfortable reach to the wheel. Note that if you find you need the power seat, by the time you add the package that includes it you are getting pretty close to the price of the LX. And there is more markup on the LX, so actual pricing may not be very far apart. |

| It's little off topic, but it happened because of this forum. Thanks for Camry vs Sonata debate, I end up with EX 06 Sedona today. I happened to stop by Kia dealership to look at the o6 Sedona on my way back from the Toyota dealership that I had test drive. They agree with the price with MDX trade in. Took my wife back and got EX Sedona with 3.8L Azera engine, tire monitor, alloy wheels, power sliding doors, back door power lift,ECS with traction, ABS, remote entry, power middle window, mp3, trip computer, auto dimming, compass, shiftronics......... and so much more for $21,500. I could save another $2,000 if I still had 03 Sedona. That same engine Azera has moves this van fast. I can't imagine the power of Azera with less weight than Sedona and use same engine. Now the van has only 30 miles on it, already gets 20 MPG which is about 4 MPG better than turtle MDX had. Like the Sonata does in family sedan, I am happy to inform you that we have another cheap alternative for Oddiena. | |
