Replying to: thegraduate (Oct 19, 2005 7:26 pm) Also the amount of airbags, abs, esp, auto hold and all the features you get standard. Yes, it did have some issues but like any car out there with a lot of tech, even the Toyota hybrid was recalled for some issues. So, yeah go buy that Korean thing, you will be  ing

Replying to: yodaroni (Oct 20, 2005 5:37 am) http://www.safercar.gov/NCAP/Cars/3754.html and http://www.safercar.gov/NCAP/Cars/3597.html I doubt that I will buy a Hyundai Sonata; I don't like its fuel economy profile vs the competing Honda and VW models, but its NHTSA safety rating is stellar. I am considering buying an 06 Passat but I am concerned about VW's mediocre reliability ratings. I don't buy jefferyg's faulty wiring harness explanation. Past VW's have had significant reliability problems in areas unrelated to the wiring harness. Moreover, any Japanese manufacturer would have immediately addressed supplier quality problems instead of waiting until the supply contract expired.

Replying to: corkster (Oct 20, 2005 6:15 am) I don't understand what you mean, the Sonata is 24/33 MPG rating is better than the Passat 22/31? I say go buy the Sonata |

Replying to: corkster (Oct 20, 2005 6:15 am) I personally do not trust NHSTA when it comes to side impact crashes. I trust IIHS more. NHTSA counts only forces on the thorax and pelvis toward the ratings, even though head injuries cause the most deaths in real-world side impact crashes. Also, the barrier only stimulates the front end of a car, not a truck or SUV, therefore it is not high enough to strike the dummies head. |

On the one hand you say: So, yeah go buy that Korean thing, you will be ing And then you say: I say go buy the Sonata I checked your profile and you're from AL which means you can't ride the fence, sooner or later you have to choose either Alabama or Auburn. There can be no mixing of the two. I'm asking the same here. So what is it? Volkswagen or Hyundai?
