Replying to: dave868 (Nov 11, 2008 8:23 pm)  I am a little put off by the price of the accord, but we all agree about it being the better car. I suppose I could always look at non nav versions to save some money - I recognize its probably a waste of money, but I'm just an addimated technophile and I know I'll be dissapointed if I dont get one. I have a tomtom but the indash ones just seem so nice with the bigger displays. One thing I really dont like though is the nav dvd player in the trunk, just hanging there. Makes me worry if I actually try to load up the trunk I'm likely to bang that player and cause some damage. I know the mature side of me is saying get an accord wo/ nav and you'll do just fine. The sonata's are just such good deals right now , fully loaded, its hard to walk away . So offtopic, what g35 did you have, and why did you get rid of it? I bought the original 2003 model. Probably got screwed because the car had only been out a month when i bought it - but damn is it a fun drive. I have ~ 65K miles on mine (its about 6 yrs old now) and have no inclination to get rid of it anytime soon. Though I am dissapointed in my average gas mileage - but hey thats probably because i can't stop driving it to hard Cheers, -brian |

Replying to: vaterp (Nov 12, 2008 6:59 am) I only got my Sonata a month ago. I traded my 05 FX35 for it... again to save money and gas. If you drive a G35 and drive it hard, dont even think about the 4cyl accord or sonata. Even the v6 will disappoint you. The g35 is an animal. I don't know of any v6 that has more punch that the nissan/infinti VQ. Yes its very thirsty for premium. I never got better than 15 mpg in my FX and 18 in the G. If you are willing to lease there is a pretty good price on the G right now. But the bottom line after all this... I bought an v6 soanata with nav... I dont think you could get more car for $23k. |

Replying to: dave868 (Nov 12, 2008 8:03 pm) Anyway i havent really even started to negotiate with the guy yet, but are you talking OTD of 23K for your v6 w/ nav, or before taxes & fess, etc....

Replying to: dave868 (Nov 12, 2008 8:03 pm) I think 23K OTD for a v6 w/ nav would be too good a deal to pass up when the accord dealer is quoting me OTD 28K for a v4 w/ nav. I'm surprised in this market that they are even starting off that high. I know you gotta play the game, but i thought they'd start off much lower given we dont need to buy a car - and they are all getting crushed right now. thx, brian

Replying to: vaterp (Nov 13, 2008 10:22 am) I paid $23k for a V6 limited w/nav. plus sales tax. I was being offered the 4 cyl with nav for $21.7k. Yes the accord is nicer as in the G and TL.... but you just can't get more for the money the the Sonata.... which is why I have one. |

Replying to: vaterp (Nov 13, 2008 10:24 am) I am getting just of 20 mpg. I drive about 70/30 city/hwy. I don't think that Hyundai is starting that high...the sticker on my car was $28.6 he said $24k I paid $23k....Maybe i could have done a little better... but i am happy. |

| I was wondering if any of you have the factory installed or dealer installed Bluetooth and does it work good? I am looking at purchasing a new Sonata shortly. Thanks for any info. | |
