Replying to: bobad (Feb 05, 2006 4:50 pm) I used to own the 626 and it was pretty reliable except for the transmission. The 626 seemed to have more room than the New Mazada 6 especially in the shoulder area. When it came time to pick, I opted for the Sonata LX because of the ride, list of options and the interior room.

Replying to: sonatame (Feb 08, 2006 11:12 am) Well, my 626 was a real cherry. I did not spend a dime on that car in 11 years except tires and batteries. Amazing!   It was just too noisy, low to the ground, and a little under powered. I was attracted to the Sonata because I could get an advanced technology V6, 5 speed sutomatic, alloy wheels, more room, QUIET, and great safety package for about the same price I paid for the 626 back in 1995!

Replying to: bobad (Feb 05, 2006 7:50 am) you are wrong about that one.   hyundai is one of the most profitable company in the world right now. and 10 year warranty played a huge part. and they are making reliable cars after reliable cars. they are going to sell almost 200,000 sonatas this year. and new santa fe and azera will be a huge lift. also, bringing entourage means they are step toward their goal; TOYOTA   their profit grew 70% from last year. 70 percent!!!   they aren't slowing down, and their resale values will go up dramatically within next 5 years.

Replying to: bobad (Feb 10, 2006 5:15 am) GM or ford is doing bad because they aren't making profits. hyundai is making profits and selling very well.   so is samsung, one of the most profitable company in the world.   i don't what koreans are doing, but i guess it's working.

Replying to: fitguy (Jan 09, 2006 8:26 pm) Good question, I have a 1999 GLS Sonata with 95,000 miles on it. I have only had two repairs done out side of normal maintenance.   I had a rear wheel bearing go bad cost was about $250 to $300 do repair. I also had a speed sensor replaced and that was about the same price. Both repairs were done when I had more than 70,000 miles on the car. Oh I forgot to mention that I drive my car pretty damn hard. Wish I didn't but I do.   So, $600 for repairs on a 95,000 mile car I would say is pretty good. I have a co-worker who has a new Ford 500 and has had her radio replaced twice and is always wondering where some funny noise is coming from.   This is my real life experience between the manufacturers Hyundai and Ford. Ford also owns Mazda. Of course quality can vary from plant to plant in which the car is made in.   For the record all 3 have cars that I like, and I do own shares of Ford. My point being is that I am not a cheer leader for Hyundai. This post replies to a few different posts.

Replying to: bobad (Feb 05, 2006 4:50 pm) Mazda is made in the US by united auto workers the only thing japanese is the transmission.   I love my Mazda 6cyl and its loaded including 7 speaker 6-cd changer bose system, 17 inch low profile Michelin tires, and auto climate control.   It was rated for handling by automobile magazine right behind BMW. Once I drove it I was sold! Replies to this message: zzzoom6 (Mar 18, 2006 11:09 am)

I've driven both cars, and the MazdaSpeed 6 just wasn't for me. The car is noisy all throughout the rev band. Yes it's fast, but that sports suspension punishes you right off the line. The fit and finish are good, and interior room is decent, but with a price a whopping $10,000 CDN out the door more than my Sonata, Mazda can keep it.   Of course we're all different and that's why auto makers offer different products, and someone else will be happier with the Mazda 6 than they would be with a 2006 Sonata. In my opinion, the 2006 Sonata offers a safe, reliable (yes I said it), comfortable, quiet ride; an attractive exterior package, a strong engine + tranny combo; roomy interior and a grocery list of standard safety equipment not found on a lot of its competitors. Kudos to Hyundai. Keep up the good work.   Best regards, A proud and happy 2006 Sonata Owner. Just my $0.02. Happy shopping

Replying to: jackemup (Feb 20, 2006 11:06 pm) i should start by saying that i really like driving. now i'm not the crazy guy weaving in and out of traffic and driving on the shoulder of the road. but cruising along in comfort while having a bit of safe fun while driving is what I'm about. my previous cars were a honda accord hatchback and a subaru wagon so i must have gotten really spoiled with the opportunity to be able to throw a mountain bike or gardening stuff in the back of my car so i wanted a car that had tons of useable storage space. but i wasn't too fond of the "soccer mom" jokes my friends used to throw at me when i was driving the legacy, so when i saw the mazda 6 5-door hatchback, i loved it!   And after driving it for the last few months, everytime i have to drive somewhere i'm thrilled. it handles awesome! and the brakes are amazing too; just the other day some dingbat pulls out of her driveway from nowhere and i thought for sure i was going to hit her, but the 6 stopped with room to spare. plus there seems to be plenty of room in back for company: my friend who's more than 6 feet tall was perfectly comfortable back there. so a v-6 w/ moonroof with tons of room to haul stuff when i need it for under 20k? you bet! lovin it!
