Thanks, Backy. I did go to Fitzmall and I saw that. Are these prices with all fees except tax or are there other fees on top? In trying to compare apples to apples OTD it gets really confusing. But I see Fitzmall has more SE's than some other places. I guess wherever I go I should factor in approx. 2k difference.

Driving Experience Ltd vs SE

Has anyone driven these two cars back to back and care to share your impressions? Yes, I know that I need to make this comparison myself -- I am just not always able to distill the experience on just a couple of tests esp. with the drama of the car dealership. I would really appreciate input from others on the "feel" of the two rides.
Thanks

Fog Lights for 2009 Hyundai Sonata GLS

I'm considering a purchase of a 2009 Sonata GLS but found that I can't get the fog lights installed as an option although it is offered for the 2009 SE and Limited. It used to be offered as part of the premium package. If Sonata doesn't offer is there an after market source which provides a kit and install for electrical wiring harness?

I think it would be best to direct questions about "what fees are included in your quoted price?" to the dealership, to ensure the most accurate response. I do know Fitzmall's Internet prices include the destination charge and any general rebates, but tax and (I suspect) doc fees and license fees are not included, which is pretty typical. You have to be careful, though, some dealerships "low ball" their published prices by not including the destination charge or by including rebates that are not available to everyone.

Yes, you are wise. I did e-mail them that very question and got it clarified. I think I have come to a deal with my local dealer which I think is very good and I can live with. It also gets my trade-in taken care of. Thanks a lot for the input everyone! Now to pick out a color!

Beige Leather??

Hi,
I am going to get my Limited tomorrow and I am planning on the red with beige. Anyone know how beige leather holds up in terms of not looking soiled over the course of a few years?

Other than white (not sure if anyone even offers white leather anymore), the light tan leather in cars like the Sonata is your worst choice for showing dirt. I have two cars with leather, one with tan (a darker tan than on the Sonata) and one medium grey. The grey doesn't show dirt at all and still looks new after five years. The tan looks soiled, especially on the driver's seat, even though I do use leather cleaner/conditioner occasionally and the car isn't driven much. But it's nearly 8 years old too.

Ooh! Good to know! I hope they have some good choices in gray! Does the gray have that darker wood trim-- I like the lighter stuff.

Best to look yourself and see if the trim is to your liking. To my eyes, from the brochure, the faux wood trim on the camel leather interior looks the same as that in the cocoa leather interior (see below). Maybe the trim with gray leather is different.
The Limited also has cocoa leather available in some paint colors. As the name implies, it's nearly black but with a hint of brown. It can be had with powder white pearl, silver, black, and cocoa paint colors. Gray leather comes with silver, medium silver blue, willow gray, and (my personal favorite on the Sonata) slate blue. I bet silver with the cocoa leather would be very sharp.

I saw the cocoa leather and it is gorgeous-- I am just concerned with the heat absorbing properties, having come off a black leather car interior. It was unbearable until the a/c kicked in on a hot summer day. Maybe brown, even dark brown, is a little cooler than black.
