missing a pedal

A Car To Own — First of all, i'd like to say it's missing a pedal. Argh... A new car.... Sorry, they replaced it by shift paddles. Oh, yeah, a new toy !! Performance wise, nice ride, smooth shifting in auto mode (will shift around 2000 rpm). Will shift at 5900 rpm when kicking the floor (still in auto) ........uhm.... start being interesting .... Nice looking, the 18 inches wheels make the difference. Double pipes exhaust. Fine leather, really updraded for 2011. Good front seats for that type of car, something i'm really looking at when i buy a car. Also realy impress by rear ones with plenty of room for the legs. I'm 6 feet tall and i'm driving with seat all the way back. To get same, you would need to pay 10k $ more for a Japanese car, 20k $ more for a German one or pay same for an American one and....... no comments. USB hard to reach espacially at night, would have placed an LED to help locate the port. In dash CD changer useless (got an 16Gb USB key !!)

It Is Sweet! — Everyone should buy a Sonata or at least a Hyundai from my @ Ron Marhofer Hyundai of Green. 2.4L engine with 200H.P. Built in Alabama, thanks to Hyundai's "fluidic sculpture" it looks like it is moving even if it's parked! with only 400 miles on it I'm already averaging 28mpg

Just Think Its The Best Sonata Version Hyundai Has Come Out With. — I love everything but have problems with my phone connecting to the Bluetooth. I think it’s my phone as my wife's works perfect and she has the new Black Berry Bold and I have an old LG. So far it handles very nicely and has a lot of Peep for a 4 cylinders. It looks like Hyundai understand what people are looking for in a car and is really trying to win over the market in the Mid-Size car market. And I think they did it. First in class for Fuel Economy, a great warranty, great standard option all under $30K.

Sonata Is A Fabulous Sedan That Has All The Right Stuff ... Thumbs Up! Way Up. — Absolutely awsome car for the price! If the looks were not enough, the ride comfort and list of standard equipment will convince you...Great power and excellent cobination of fuel economy. The Attention to the cockpit and interior is nothing short of Lexus...This is the car Toyota and Honda are going to wish they had been building! At 11,000 now, glad I got mine when I did... a waiting list is now the norm to get one! Fun to Drive? It doesn't get better than this for under $24K Thumbs Up Hyundai... Toyota and Honda: You better wake up.
