Replying to: loradora (Jan 03, 2009 4:27 am) That suspension noise is exactly the reason I didn't buy the Sonata as I have mentioned in earlier posts. I bought the Fusion because it was quieter and didn't have what sounded like a clunking noise when going over any bumps. I was disappointed, but it really turned me off to the idea of buying the Sonata.

#735 of 1003 Sonata rumble by dafy Jan 05, 2009 (1:46 pm)
I have been driving my 2009 Sonata 4cy at with pop.opt 2 around for a week now. On smooth roads the car drives nice. On rough roads there are rumble sounds coming from the suspension (independent suspension on each wheel) the noise is more pronounced then on my toyota matrix. My take is that the suspension is not dampened enough. My 3 other complaints are no foldaway mirrors ( I have a narrow garage entrance) should have three cup holders instead of two in front console-my small matrix has three and the shift design-needs a arrow or light to tell you what gear you are in as the design is different than the toyotas. I can live with these plaints as I have a lot more car for about the same money that I would have paid for then Toyota matrix. So far I am getting about 24-25 mpg locally. Have not driven it on a highway yet. Suspect that if enough people complain about the rumble, Hyundai might devise a fix.

Replying to: dafy (Jan 05, 2009 1:46 pm) Doesn't the display in the instrument cluster tell you what gear you are in?   Foldaway mirrors are handy, for garages as well as those tight parking spaces in parking ramps.

Replying to: jack47 (Jan 06, 2009 6:19 am) One for the driver, one for the front seat passenger, and one for the hot babe riding on the center armrest, of course. . .   Or is it one for the glass, one for the mixer, and one for the vodka?   Seriously, even cars with three-across front seating don't have three cupholders in front, do they?

Replying to: ylz (Dec 30, 2008 1:20 pm) I understand your feelings about the Infiniti interiors. I have realized that I am a bit of an interior snob. My wife had a 2004 G35 and I had a 2005 FX35. Loved both cars, but the interior is not up to german standards. My 2001 330 was a world above. However Infiniti stepped up their game in 2007. The interiors are still lacking when compared to BMW, Audi and MB. But they are holding their own with Lexus and Acura. And power and handling is right there with BMW.   So I still say... you are 30 and single... save the practical cars for your next purchase. Buy a G or if you want to be "practical" check out the new 335d.   0-60 in 6 secs. 36 mpg hwy.
#740 of 1003 Hyundai Sonata Leather Seat Kits by richardrr1972 Jan 07, 2009 (9:00 am)
I have a 2007 V6 with cloth interior. I am considering upgrading to leather seats. I saw some kits on ebay for around 400 dollars that claim to be the same as what the dealers use. Also, they recommend it be professionally installed as the cloth has to be removed and there is also the issue of the side airbags being damaged. I'm wondering if I should buy a kit and take it to a detailer or dealer and have it installed. Go to a dealer and just say I want a leather upgrade and have them do everything. Or finally, just go right to a detailer instead of a dealer and have him do everything. What I don't want is poorly fitted seats that look like someone threw covers on them and or possibly risking my side airbags not deploying if I were to be involved in an accident. Does anyone have any advice other than to tell me to keep the cloth interior.   thanks,   Richard
#741 of 1003 TPMS with winter tires and new rims?? by nysniper28 Jan 14, 2009 (11:05 am)
I am in the proceess of purchasing new rims and winter tires for my wifes 2009 sonata limited, I can add TPMS sensors for $208 from tirerack.com but dont think I am going to get them. Will this be a problem? I am guessing that just the light will stay on all winter...but when I put back on the original tires in the spring will I be able to hookup the TPMS myself and will it work, will I be able to UNHOOK it as well from the original? I guess I'm not even sure where the heck this TPMS is on the tire and if I WILL BE ABLE TO DO IT MYSELF when I change the tire/rims or do I need a professional to install it? Any suggestions would be great thanks?   PS....TPMS is dumb as far as I'm concerned, I usually check my tires at least once a week anyways!
#742 of 1003 2009 sonata clunks by hyundaiguy4 Jan 25, 2009 (5:55 am)
I was wondering if any one out there besides my self has purchases a 2009 sonata and has noticed suspention noise?   I purchased my sonata last week and noticed it has a clunking sound while driving mostly from the right side. I took it to the selling dealer and went on a ride with the service mgr. he told me that they have had many complaints and that there is nothing they can do he said to complain to hyundai and that enough people complain maybe they will issue a service bullitin. i cnt believe that a car with 174 miles on it sounds like it has 174,00 miles on it and needs struts . hope they figure this out soon this is my 4th hyundai and will be my last if it is not corrected soon Replies to this message: pat (Jan 25, 2009 8:36 am) loradora (Feb 03, 2009 3:56 am) hyundaiguy4 (Feb 20, 2009 11:51 am) jlindh (Feb 20, 2009 1:42 pm) and 1 more... loradora (Feb 26, 2009 12:27 pm) and 5 more...
