I know its not an old BMW, or an SS camaro. But its still real fly! Quick car. Faster than my V6 Fiero ever was. Im prety stoked. 17k and it had 22 miles on it.

yeah its an 07. I work for hyundai, so i got a pretty good deal. The V6 deffiently has some punch to it.

I test drove a Kia Amanti with the Hyundai 3.5 in it. That thing really scooted. I bet that engine in the lighter Sonata would really be a hotrod. I want an Azera.

Damn, I wish I had gotten Hyundai stock for a graduation present in 1985. They just keep making nicer and nicer cars. Pics? What color?

I've hard a lot of good things about the new Hyundai's, and they even look pretty luxury type too. I know a few people who will easily mistake one for a Lexus, Jag, or Mercedes.

I dont have any pics, buts its the khaki colour, 17" mags and a roof....the Sonatas have the 3.3 now. Its a bad-ass little motor. It has a pretty restrictive intake system though. I wouldnt mind boosting it at some point in time...the shiftronic is a fun thing to have at times too.....Hyundai has come a LONG way in the past few yrs. I honeslty dont know how you would get more car for your money. I think if I lower it and put some tint itll really bring out the pretty factor.

Congrats. Will be a good reliable daily driver. If you can get around to posting pics eventually I wuold like to see it.

Yeah it may take me some time to get pics up. Dont have the web at the house, but ill snap some on the digi and find a wireless cafe somewhere one of these days........its true about the twisies!!! LOL. I love Fieros, but some people need to be realistic. Its over 20 damn yrs old. If you get a chance, take a V6 sonata, or even an Azera for a spirited drive. It'll surprise the shit out of you. Did me! Im still getting over the fact that I bought a hyundai and actually like it. Im 22 for gods sake!!

234 hp at 6000 rpm, 226# at 3500rpm, 5 speed manumatic 24 valve V6.
For less then 20k.
And American manufacturers wonders why they're in trouble.

Dont forget the killer warranty the offer with it also!!

I have heard that they have better customer service than Honda.

Mr. Pat · Post by **Mr. Pat** » Fri Oct 06, 2006 6:47 pm

Acording to JD hyundai ranks higher than toyota and honda in customer satisfaction and reliability. 3rd only to porsch and lexus. Not bad if you ask me.

That's the concept. Like facial tissue is Kleenex or all sodas in the south are Cokes. VTEC is Hondea's variabele valve timing, which is everyone's new hotness 10 years later. But hey, it would cost you about 10 grand more in an Accord.

They make nice cars, my buddy just bought the same car I believe.. However, good god they have to get rid of that cursive H. Buy a Honda symbol and stick it on there or something.

Mr. Pat · Post by **Mr. Pat** » Thu Oct 12, 2006 1:33 pm

I like the cursive H. But I wouldnt mind debadging it one day.
