I have never been in an enclosed vehicle where I felt I had to raise my voice to converse with passengers or add an amplifier to the stereo to keep up, but at the same time, I do appreciate the sound of an engine, and its mechanical song.

Then it's time to talk to my brother. As far as the new Accord. I haven't had a chance to examine the Accord's interior throughly but my initial impressions are that it hasn't gotten worse. Passat. I agree with you there and I think VW is paying dearly for that as their customers have the same opinion as us. But it's still best in class though. Jetta. I was disappointed that it didn't improve over the last one but I don't think the car got worse either except for the trunk lining. When you get wood trim you still get real wood. When you get leather you still get high quality leather. I have to wonder if you have a negative reaction to design changes. That you have a comfort level for what you're used to. Case in point, harder plastic doesn't necessary mean it's of lower quality. It's more the texture and flimsiness of the plastic that determines its quality.

Replying to: venus537 (Oct 28, 2007 5:23 pm) I have to disagree with you about that, They are good in quality in all ways. I see more elderly who've swallowed the Camry/Accord kool aide I would think their ratings would be going up if your comment that elderly are easier on them were even close to true. In fact, they're pickier about what they'll tolerate in a car despite that they like some other aspect of the car. They take it in to be fixed. |

Replying to: bhmr59 (Oct 28, 2007 4:13 pm) If i buy a hyundai, hands down it'll be an azera. But i have the same opinion about the azera as the sonata. if hyundai can get the azera's interior upto the grade of the Veracruz i'd be more than happy to buy it. I have not driven the Azera yet, i'll have to book a car on Hertz next time i go out of town, when i drove by last time i saw a few azera's on their lots. As far as plastics go. A great example of crappy plastics is the aura. Tap the dash, any where on the dash. The noise you'll receive is hollow. It sounds as if there's nothing behind it, if you tap the new camry, as much as i dislike it, won't have that hollow-ness. I think you can use the cheapest materials in the world but if its soft to the touch and not uncomfortable it's fine by me. Take mazda 6's rubber dash, its cheap but it doesnt feel cheap. As far as the Passat goes. If i do decide to buy one anyone have any suggestions as to how I can pick the "tank" Passat rather than the lemon. Should i be looking for loose cables or...you guys are the experts, at least some of you  , what's your 2 pennies on that?

Replying to: venus537 (Oct 28, 2007 6:20 pm) Lol. No problem. I did examine myself mentally and came out ok, I think anyway. Seriously, what caused me to agree with you on the Jetta was that an acquaintance of mine got some really low lease deal on a Wolfsburg edition Jetta. I remember being struck by how nice the interior was -both the design AND the quality of material/fit/finish. |

Replying to: pengwin (Oct 28, 2007 6:30 pm) 2009 Sonata Interior Spy Pics? If correct this is a major upgrade for the interior. It should be interesting to check it out when it comes out, likely in the mid-to late spring. |
