#885 of 1006 Re: Another Profession Review Lambasts Sonata's Suspension [mikemartin] by LASHAWN Jul 09, 2009 (9:25 am)
Replying to: mikemartin (Jul 08, 2009 9:13 pm) Has anyone of you ever thought that editor's comment is based solely on that particular car he was driving? Especially since most people that own a 09 Sonata do not experience the same concern. I mean c'mon, cars are like people their not perfect or built the same. Some cars do come from the factory with issues and some don't. I have an 06 Sonata LX with 60k+ miles and that vehicle has been to FL, OH and AL driven over numerous kinds of road surfaces and I haven't had any serious problems out of it, heck it still has the original tires on it and I changed front pads at 55k. Now there probably will be some owners out there that might be experiencing the same fortune as me and their are some owners that will not experience this great fortune. Does that make it a bad car?

Replying to: LASHAWN (Jul 09, 2009 9:25 am) If the quality is not consistent from one example to the next, within the same model line, then YES, that makes it a bad bet. It also makes some of them--the ones with the suspension noise--bad cars.

Replying to: LASHAWN (Jul 09, 2009 9:25 am) Good point, Lashawn. The testers that reviewers get have frequently been put through the wringer, especially as other reviewers want to drive even a family car at the limits. I remember a review of the CTS when it first came out that admitted the clutch was already worn when it was received.

Replying to: mikemartin (Jul 08, 2009 9:13 pm) Back from your message 794   >I'm posting this just as a reference point because some of the people who have >claimed that those complaining about suspension thunks and rattles are trolls or >troublemakers.     >I came across this on the Hyundai Owners' Forums.     >http://www.canadiandriver.com/2008/10/01/test-drive-2009-hyundai-sonata-limited-- - - - - - four-cylinder.htm   Anybody who reads the review will see that it is a very positive review. About the only negative starts out with the phrase "If there's a fault...". Reading comprehension tells me that the reviewer had to grasp at straws to come up with a negative. So this is where I believe you make the attempt to change day into night.
#889 of 1006 after market struts by wrs4 Jul 09, 2009 (11:15 am)
While not having any problems with suspension noises with 15000 miles on my 09 Sonata limited. Just wondering if there any after market struts available and what the price would be?

I think that our posts are getting out of hand on this issue. Seriously, as I scroll down, the comments are becoming more and more passive aggressive.   On that note, I'm going to troll the Accord forums and start a fight! Who's with me?! =) Replies to this message: mikemartin (Jul 09, 2009 5:34 pm) LASHAWN (Jul 10, 2009 10:58 am) mikemartin (Jul 10, 2009 4:16 pm) and 2 more...

Replying to: james1982 (Jul 09, 2009 11:20 am) I am moving on as I noticed Hyundai has really raised the prices on the Sonata, by reducing rebates, and by truly raising the price on the 09.   The Sonata no longer holds any real value proposition to a comparably equipped Camry, Mazda6 or Nissan Altima, quality differences and resale value issues aside.   Given a choice between an Altima or Mazda6 at even a grand more than the Sonata, I'll take either over the Altima all day long, as I won't get slaughtered nearly as badly when I sell my car.   They improved the Sonata with the 2009 redesign, but only time will tell how it will fare durability wise, and CR already has marked the Sonata down to just 'average reliability,' negative suspension comments by professional reviewers (and many owners) aside.   I predict Hyundai is fishing in uncharted waters with its pricing that creep ever so closer to the established Japanese mainstays, and it will suffer blowback for it in upcoming sales' numbers.   On one final note, the local Hyundai Dealership had a Veracruz with a 40k sticker price. Are they on crack? Has Hyundai lost its mind? Who would buy that when they can get a Lexus RX350 for a few grand more?   Wow. Just wow.   Cheers to all and good health and luck to you.

Replying to: jack47 (Jul 08, 2009 1:03 pm) Thanks, jack, I was pretty sure I had checked them, but I did so again, and hot, they were at 36psi, which is where I wanted them.

Replying to: mikemartin (Jul 09, 2009 5:34 pm) What extra options did that Veracruz have on it to justify a $40k price? My local Hyundai Dealer here is Savannah, GA has a base 09 Sonata on their lot and their asking $26k for it. But in their defense it has 20" wheels, aftermarket leather seating, navigation, rear spoiler(just the right size) and xenon headlights on it.
