Replying to: asdf9 (Apr 01, 2008 5:07 pm) It's fun to drive and only drawback I see is it revs to easily 2000 - 2500 rpm when you take off slowly from a traffic light and feels as if it struggles a little bit when it starts rolling. I am not pushing too much gas but still feels little sluggish... Once it goes to 30 and above, it's very smooth and quiet. Not sure whether its becos the engine hasn't broken-in yet (mine is close to 1000 miles now).

I love the pickup over the 4 cyl. ... I am having a bit of trouble with the TPMS system ... dealer inflated and reset the sensor twice ... in two days. Any suggestions |

Replying to: lmaxick (Apr 02, 2008 10:13 am) I want to figure out whether there is some tuning that I have to do (it's a brand new one but has been sitting in the dealer's lot for more than 3 months before I laid my hands). Mine too will take off really fast if I pump it up to 3500+ rpm but I am just trying to feather it and it feels little sluggish... Not sure whether it's becos of the new engine or sth else! |

Replying to: bhmr59 (Apr 02, 2008 5:51 pm) Would be interesting to know why does it go into 2nd gear if someone starts slowly? I would expect it to go in the first gear until the rpm reaches a certain level or maybe, there is some other theory behind the gears shifting process?

Replying to: sonata4life (Apr 02, 2008 6:27 pm) Try, for a month, to give it a bit more gas when starting (it won't materially affect your MPG) and don't pump the gas pedal, apply steady pressure. |

Recently bought a 2009 Sonata limited V6 with NAV, ......and now its 350 plus miles and since past 2 days... the engine cries(noisy) like anything....when I start the engine and till the time it reaches 0-35 mph(with jerks while it shifts the gears), it feels like I am driving a used car/truck. Real terrible...no pickup...even if its a V6. One of the dealers said it needs 89 Ocatne gas....I should not put 87 Ocatne..where as per my user manual... 87 Octane gas is fine. Where as the dealer from whom I bought the car asked me to get the car tomow. to their service center..... as they said they r going to fix it..if not then replace the car. Where as its not typically expected of a new car if it really passed Quality tests..... Let me know if anyone had similar problem in the past......??
