This is an update on my 09 Sonata SE. At 8800 miles, there has been no issues with the car, gas mileage on the highway ranges from 29 mpg to 32 mpg depending on terrain and the amount of ethanol in the gasoline. 29 mpg has been consistent driving 75mph and 32 mpg doing 65mph. Until now, my service department has been using 10W30 but I switched to 5W30 (Mobile Clean 5000) two weeks ago; would be embarking on a 1000 mile round trip this weekend and see if there's any change in mpg with the 5W30 oil. The transmission is also shifting better as the mileage increases, and it is a fun to drive vehicle. Acceleration feels stronger compared to when the car was in its first 1500 miles (waiting to see what it does by the 15,000 mile mark). The Solus KH16 tires are doing better with age with regards to response and the wet traction is very good consisdering all the rainfall here lately. The service department has been very friendly and professional except for one incident; they used 6 quarts of oil for my last oil change even though the owner's manual specifies 5.49 quarts ( approximately 5.5 quarts). I have been going back and forth with them and they are insisting that the 3.3L V6 holds 6 quarts of oil ( even though the reading on the dipstick is past the Full mark). I will be calling Hyundai corporate to get a definite answer because I know over-filling the oil is not good for any engine. |

Hi, I am looking for a 2009 Sonata GLS automatic with no options. I have gotten some quotes in the $18663 OTD prices. Mostly it is in the $16500 to $17000 range before TTL. Has anyone have any good prices quotes in the Twin Cities area and any experiences with any dealers around town? Please let me know. Thanks.

Replying to: yitz (Aug 08, 2008 2:37 pm) it has to be very dark it seems for the lights to come on when you have them set to auto. The trip computer buttons should be on the steering wheel controls, where they have them looks kind of cheap, but they are functional. |

Replying to: raider23 (Aug 06, 2008 7:02 am)  Got the car for 20,745 plus TT&L, I got them to throw in window tinting and they also did a full detail. It is willow gray with the gray interior and is a very nice car. My wife loves it and I believe we are definitely hooked on the XM radio. |

I have had Sonata 09 just for 4 days and I see there is small leak which looks like power steering fluid, after I drive out of the garage every morning. I took it to the dealer and they say there is no leak. Is anyone haveing this problem. It is very discouraging when the car is only 4 days old and under 50 miles done. I hope someone will have some advice on this issue

Replying to: dhansuk (Aug 20, 2008 1:08 pm) If you're sure, lay a clean white cloth or towell under where you think it is dripping from. Take that cloth with you to the dealer and demand that it be fixed. I have two vehicles that are 5 and 6 years old and they don't drip anything. |
