My average mileage around town has been 24mpg but that's because I rarely ever do 100% city driving. My weekly commute is probably 60% highway and 40% city (a distance of 20 miles round trip). So far, the mpg calculator seems to be very accurate and the biggest variance I have seen with regards to manually calculating mpg was 1 mpg (actually 0.956)

Chizi-Thanks for that info-that is pretty good for a v6 to get that with the 60/40 hwy/cty you do. I bet it will improve some more also.

Interesting Call From Hyundai Corporate by dgs4

They called me to do a customer satisfaction survey, basically asking what I thought about my new Hyundai. They asked what kind of improvements could be made or what kind of features I would have liked to see added to the car. I told them the following:
 
1. Power passenger seat
2. Passenger Auto Up/Down window
3. Engine immobilizer (cheap econo cars have this, can't believe my 09 Limited doesn't)
4. Rear door pockets
5. RearView camera (if you buy the nav system option)
6. Power folding mirrors
 
I really think at a minimum Hyundai needs to incorporate the first three suggestions. I didn't realize my car didn't have the immobilizer until I got it home and was reading through the owners manual. That's kind of cheap of Hyundai not to add that. So if any of those features show up in a future Sonata you can thank me.
 
But I basically told them I loved the car and besides a few features I would have liked it's a home run. I especially like the new navigation system. The voice recognition is spot on.

Help! brake! by xfshh

I bought my 09 Sonata GLS with package 2 two days ago. Today, I put my key to the "accessory" position (I thought it was in the "start" poisition). And then I stepped on the brake and shiftted the gear to "R", the car started to back from the parking lot. And then I shift the gear to "D" so I could adjust the direction of my car. The car Kept going backward. I was scared and stepped on the brake and the brake did NOT work - the car kept sliding backward!!! It only stoped when I shifted the gear to "P". I checked the shift - it was in the AUTO transmission mode (this is right). So why this happens? It is not safe at all!!! I remember my old car would not move if I do not start the engine. Isn't this the basic safety feature???
 
I tried 2 more times later this evening. One of these was just like I wrote above. I also smelled something burning. Anyone has similar experience? Would you please try (several times) to see whether it is just my car or it is a common problem for 2009 Sonata?
 
Thanks!

I don't think even the Genesis has power folding mirrors. Good luck on that one for the Sonata!

No, you're right.
 
Now, about that fusion-powered hyperdrive I'd like on the 2010 Sonata...

Fusion is scary, you don't wanna start buying fords!. Let's just stick to a diesel powered sonata with 120/150 mpg
