#65 of 131 Hyundai Sonata vs Toyota Camry and others by flc2006 Jan 24, 2007 (8:08 am)
I do not like cars that everyone and their moms and dads have, even though i like Hondas and Toyotas they are just too common and get stolen often, one thing i like about my 2006 sonata is all the standard equipment you get for the money, but i know korean cars have their downsides which is resale value in the first few years but safety and value to me is more important than resale, i have observed the the Camry is priced about a 2 thousand more when it is about 5 to six years old.   I had to choose between three cars the honda fit, hyundai sonata, and the camry, i did all the research and the monthly payments on the loan were not that much of a difference so i went with the sonata instead because value and standard skid control I do not regret getting my Sonata it gets the same mileage as the other cars when you are city driving which averages about 15-20 miles per gallon even in a small car.   What makes turned me off about the Toyota is that it does not come with roadside assistance which hyundai had standard, i wouldn't want to be in a toyota stranded.   other members posting tell me about your experiences with the Hyundai Sonata   Thank you Replies to this message: craigbrooks (Jan 24, 2007 10:20 am) tb88 (Jan 24, 2007 7:37 pm) bhmr59 (Jan 24, 2007 8:14 pm)

Replying to: flc2006 (Jan 24, 2007 8:08 am) Love mine. I have one of about six I've seen in a town of 53,000 population.   Drove an 05 Accord I4 with 23K for miles the other day and it did not even come close to my 06 I4 GLS Sonata. I'll have to find an 06 Camry I4 on our lot and drive it to compare.

Roadside assistance cost about $10 a year and can be bought with most insurance... I wouldn't buy a car on a saving of $10 alone!!! I have a 2006 Sonata and I like it... but I would not buy a 2007; because : . 1- the rebate and price I paid was far less than the 2007 today. . 2- the Honda still beats Sonata when Trade in time comes... which means one gets more $$$ back for a Honda ( $4,000- $6000 for a 2004 Honda Accord compared to a 2004 Sonata as an example) Replies to this message: bhmr59 (Jan 24, 2007 8:14 pm)

Replying to: tb88 (Jan 24, 2007 7:37 pm) Your post is questionable.   Where caN roadside assistance (other than "towing at $25 per tow be obained for $10 per year?)   1--when did you buy and have you compared buying an '07 today in the real world?   2--compare the street price new for a "comparable" Sonata to a Honda and weigh that into you calculations of what "one gets back for a Honda."
#69 of 131 that is my opinion by flc2006 Jan 24, 2007 (9:04 pm)
In my opinion a new car should come with roadside assistance it is not about the yearly cost, everything that was stated was about value for your dollar, i just wanna feel more secure driving my sonata so free roadside assistance is great.   It is best to make comments on things that you read thoroughly it seems that the both of you didn't ,i wanted to know about your Sonata not your complaints.

Replying to: peterpnuspl (Jan 02, 2007 11:19 am) Just to continue my saga with the 2007 Sonata headlights ... We had them aimed correctly by a state inspector; we judge that the VA DMV requirements are now met. But the light-to-dark pattern is still a problem. We have written to Hyundai Motor America and await replies. We will appreciate hearing from other Sonata owners.

Replying to: chesapeake07 (Jan 09, 2007 5:28 pm) I met with the Hyundai Representative and this issue was resolved to my satisfaction. I would definitely buy another Hyundai, but would look it over very carefully first. They build most of them right and it is a smooth ride. Replies to this message: craigbrooks (Feb 01, 2007 2:32 pm)

#74 of 131 Suspension clunking/seat creaking- 2007 Sonata LTD by dncb Apr 07, 2007 (9:15 am)
I bought this 2007 Limited (leather seats) after postive reviews on both construction and build quality. Immediately I experienced suspension clunking (which the dealer says he cannot hear) and seat creaking every time I sart-up or slow-down (stop-and-go traffic= constant creaking) . I felt like suggesting he get a hearing aid, but decided I would just scout out the type of bump that elicited the problem and take a mechanic for a ride rather than dropping the car off. Not all types of bumps produce the sound (which resembles that produced by a vehicle with worn out ball joints). Hyundai has denied having similar complaints, yet I see them in this forum (but for 2006 models before a shock change). According to the dealer my car has the updated shocks already. The car will produce the sound every day on the same roads on the same bumps (and everywhere else on the same type of bump). Anyone else having similar problems with 2007's? I got a ride back to the dealer in a 2002 Sonata which had an extreme case of the same thing. It was scary to think that my car might sound like that in 5 years!
