#3725 of 5692 Battery drainage by ricwhite Nov 22, 2008 (2:09 pm)
Replying to: colegar (Nov 22, 2008 1:48 pm) The Azera also reportedly had some battery drainage problems. I, myself, suffered a dead battery from sitting the car for more than two days. I think there is something pulling power from the batteries when not in use. Sit it for a few days, and it's drained. All it needs is a recharge, but it's inconvenient. Maybe someone with more knowledge can explain why the batteries in some Hyundai models drain. Replies to this message: backy (Nov 22, 2008 2:17 pm) colegar (Nov 22, 2008 4:05 pm)

Replying to: ricwhite (Nov 22, 2008 2:09 pm) Batteries in most modern cars drain while the car sits, whether it be from an active alarm system, an auto-on light circuit, or whatever. But they should not drain that quickly.
#3727 of 5692 Chrysler Year end Sell-a-thon !!!!! (Tri-State) by kwakasmith Nov 22, 2008 (3:19 pm)
Some fantastic reductions out there at the moment, I mean $4,500 off the Touring & Limited models, Fantastic right! In Aug 08 (according to my copy of Consumer Reports), the price range started at $22,510 up to $35,670. The LX now starts at $27,250 and the Limited $37,350. Come on guys, credit your consumers with some intelligence. Why not start the range at $18,000 and see if you start moving some units. Setting your base model $1000 above the base model Honda Odyssey and hiking your other prices in this way doesn't sound like you're taking the current economic situation too seriously...
#3728 of 5692 Battery and ethenol by richard124 Nov 22, 2008 (3:26 pm)
Replying to: colegar (Nov 22, 2008 1:48 pm) Mine sits in the driveway for four days without being moved quite often. I have not had a problem with the battery draining. Sounds like a short to me.   As for the ethenol: 10% ethenol equals 10% fewer miles per gallon. Sounds to me like the ethenol is just making farmers rich and not doing anything to decrease the use of gasoline. Ethenol is being burned with no contribution to mileage.   Whose idea was it to mix this stuff with gasoline and for what purpose?

Replying to: ricwhite (Nov 22, 2008 2:09 pm) Yes, you described it perfectly. All it needs is a recharge but we should not have to wonder if the car will start after only three or four days at the airport.

Replying to: richard124 (Nov 22, 2008 3:26 pm) Apparently, ethenol is the biggest scam in recent history. I read somewhere that it produces 40% less energy per volume than plain old 97 octane unleaded. It does not save energy, it wastes it. It has driven up cattle feed prices and food prices. I guess it is great for farmers but not for the rest of us!
#3731 of 5692 Re: Hyundai Working On Eight-Speed Transmission for Genesis Sedan [louiswei] by joe97 Nov 22, 2008 (4:52 pm)
Replying to: louiswei (Nov 21, 2008 2:26 pm) Good for the buyers, bad for Hyundai.   Right now, any way to grab a sale is good for the automaker, and that goes for almost every automaker. 30K for a base Genesis is only about 3 grand off its MSRP, and frankly, that's not bad at all. I have a dealer here offering 10K off on a GS, for example.   Plus, I don't think the deal includes any factory rebate so everything is on the dealer. Like I said, anyway to make a deal right now is better than nothing.

Replying to: jeffreid (Nov 22, 2008 6:13 am) The Genesis coupe is on schedule to arrive in US showroom early next year.

the interior materials were pretty disappointing. definitley not 'first cabin'. overall, the car is probably a fair deal.
