I wonder what kinda mileage this new Hybrid will get, If it will be better than the Hybrid Camry?

Article stating it is debuting at the LA Auto Show. Perhaps a mid summer launch in 09 for 2010 model???

Drive by the chevy dealer today and they had a new cobalt SS with a big "turbo" sign in the window. Last I knew they were slow S/C cars. well GM decided to put a turbo in instead and its fast. 13.8 1/4 mile stock!! Fastest car under 25k. We even worked numbers I was about to drop $2000 bucks and I would have been out of my sonata on the same payments on my new cobalt ss. But...

anyone notice the new azera did not get the new 249hp motor? whats up with that?

Just an off the wall question. I know it's comparing apples to oranges but just want to hear your thoughts. Why the Charger? Cause I like the exterior.

After an awesome head-on collision which totaled my Toyota Corolla, I decided to get with the program and buy a Sonata. Through the great rebates to clear the '08 inventory, I got a 2008 V6 Limited.

The stereo doesn't have an aux-in which is something that is on my list of things to update. In a relatively exhaustive search of forum topics, I didn't find anything that...

A little tease from Hyundai, with the VI

Hi all,

Lately I've been smelling a lot of funk out of my AC. I minimize the use of recirculate and instead use fresh air as much as I could. That certainly helps but every now and then, I still get blasted in the face with funk-o-rama.

I'm thinking of spraying some Lysol into the AC with the fan running on high in the hopes of killing off any mold or mildew...

First off this car is not my daily driver. I drive it almost solely on weekends taking our dogs to the beach, going on drives with my girlfriend, running errands. M-F it's motorycle commuting.

Things I've noticed about my Sonata 4cyl.

1-The build quality is VERY GOOD-car still feels tight (it's only a year old) but it just feels solid and NOT cheap with...

Anyone know how to tighten up the driver's side sunvisor so that it will stay put. On my 91 Civic, all that has to be done is tighten a phillips head screw and it's good to go. I don't see any adjustment screws on my 06 Sonata and I'd rather not have to take the time to make an appointment with the dealer for what would seem an easy fix. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Has anyone ever gotten a spoiler put on the trunk by a Hyundai dealership? Do they even do that? I have a silver 07 Sonata SE and would love to get a spoiler for it. I do realize that I could buy one online but I want it installed at a dealer so that I can go somewhere if things don't work out. Do you know if holes have to be drilled into the trunk or if its just glue?

Thank...

Hey all,

I bought a used Thule set up from a friend. It has the square load bars and the wide mouth bike racks (2). I also have the fairing. The whole setup was fine on my previous car (a Mazda). With the Sonata fit kit (2169 - and following the directions precisely, the front left hand clip is digging into my front driver door weatherstripping and making it fray. All other doors are...

Does anyone out there have the colour codes for the wiring at the brake, running and turn lights in the trunk space.

I need to hard wire a harness and would like to check out the color coding of the wiring before starting out.

what are the bigest and widest wheels i can put on my car without touching the suspension or rubbing??

im getting an awesome deal on some 19x8.5 and some 19x9 for under $500 w/ tires.

I just had these installed at the dealer as a part of "We owe".

The fronts fit perfect. The part number is 08460-3K000.

The rears fit, but not like the fronts. The clip that is under the car is pulling out and around the outside edge it is bowed. This is happening on both sides. The part number on the invoice for the rears is 08460-3K500.

My questions...

06 Sonata V6 (42 K miles)
So I went to get my brakes checked at brakecheck. Steering wheels shakes when I brake...I figured it was rotors.

With some minor fixes, new brake pads, the bill came out to be 320 bucks....so I am thinking I might as well get a set new rotors and brake pads.
I just did a new set on my 06 Maxima and the entire bill was under 3 bill...drilled/slotted,...

Please tell me that Hyundai finally added delayed-off headlamps on the new 2009 sonatas???

Jus put the filter in my wife's gl---boy what a difference. Part number 33-2887.

I have a 2009 sonata with the 16" wheels. I want to go from the plastic hubcaps to real wheels. I have done some homework and I am looking to stay with my OEM tires 215-60-16 with less than 3500 miles on them.
The rims I have seen that I really like are 16X7 and 5x4.5 (5x114.3) with an offset of 42. American Casino diamond cut. Anyone have these?
As I understand it that is...

My father in law just picked up a new 07 Sonata as part of the model year clear out. 2 days after he had it, the roof stopped working.. dealer replaced a fuse and said bring it back if it happens again... duh. 3 weeks later same issue.

He hasn't taken it in yet, but I find it a bit unusual that this happened again.. short somewhere I suspect.
Has anyone else had this issue...

But I searched a few threads, and searched the owners manual, but does anyone know what kind of oil filter an 06 sonata v6 takes? Im basically stuck going to walmart, since the only other reputable auto place just burnt down. I don't really feel like driving 20 miles, when Walmart usually carries the same stuff and is only 2 miles away!

Thanks guys, sorry if im blind/lazy, but I...

Want to purchase a oil filter from my Sonata dealership and do my own oil changes? Is it relatively simple, what kind of oil should I use...it's a 4 cyinder. default/beer.gif' 'beer.gif' />

on disc. I have all 06 models if any one wants a copy $22 shipped for all of models. Just an FYI

My 2006 sonata came with 215 60 16 tires it is time to replace them can i install 225 60 16 tires in place of the oem tires.
If i do are there any issues i need to know about?
The dealer where i purchased the car seemed to think it would cause little problem.
But before i buy new tires was interested in your opinions.

after driving my 2007 sonata for around 10 minutes, there is a very high pitched squealing sound that is intermittent and stops when the brakes are tapped. I was told it may be due to a "brake sensor"??

In 2008 ltd- is there a speedometer calibration the dealer can do? I have found that the analog speedometer is ~3MPH faster than actual at 55MPH (using a couple of different high speed GPS that match other cars dead on). I know it is not much, but it seems unfair that my lovely car will rack up miles quicker than it should.

I have a 06 GLS I4. I get, what I feel is, horrible mileage for the I4. Im thinking of getting a 09 with the 5spd auto to get better mileage. I get pi$$ed when I read here about people getting 30+ mpg out of their 6cyl and I get between 24 and 26mpg out of my 4cyl. and thats all hi-way miles. I dont get why I get such bad mileage. I have tried driving the speed limit and everything....

Looking for fenders, hood, radiator, radiator support, condenser, air bag, air bag module etc..
does anyone where can I buy them? besides stealership..

Hello Everyone:
I'm coming up on almost 36,000 miles and I just recieved a letter from my dealership saying that there is a service for my car at that mileage. Does anyone know what it consist of? Im thinking if its something I can do myself, then I would do it myself. TIA.

Hi,

I've noticed that my transmission takes 1 second (say the word one normally) to kick into gear after I put it in drive. If I don't wait for it to kick into gear and push the accelerator (after it's in drive) then it jumps into gear and lurches forward. Other than this the shifting if flawless. I'm wondering if this is a problem I should have looked at or it's...

Hi, guys!

I have some confusion on front brake pads for 2006+ 3.3L model.

After some online research, there are two different types for 2006+ 3.3L model: part number with 924 and 1125. I picked 924 and installed on my 2006 Sonata; however, its width is about 1/8" shorter than OEM so it does NOT completely cover the swept area of rotor. I suspect that 924 perfectly...

Has anyone replaced their brake pads yet? I have 44,000 miles on the gl and everything seems OK. Also I'm still on the original tires but they look like maybe another 5,000 miles or so and the fronts will have to be replaced.

This was discussed here in the past, but we were never able to come to a conclusion, at least that's as much as I remember....

We all know that dealers would be happier to do no-warranty work, get paid by the customer. That's a given....

My impression from taking my car to my dealer (the whining engine), was that he's reluctant to spend time and money on trying...

I am at 26,000 miles and will need to change it out at 30,000, so
after searching high and low for something that is Hyundai/Mitsubishi SP III compatible, here it is guys and girls a whole $3.99/quart at Auto Zone. Beats buying the Hyundai stuff for $7 and change a quart. It's Castrol Import Multi Vehicle Tranny Fluid and it's a Synthetic blend to boot. Here's the...

So I am sure there has been tons of threads about this. I am at 37 K, check engine light came on this week. Will take it to the dealer tomorrow. ABS/ESC has been coming on and off sporadically but I think I will tell him about it too.

Anything I can expect from this before I take it to the dealer?

Hi all! Today I noticed that the outside of my two front tires are worn down a ton to the point that I should replace them. The middle and inside of the tires have a ton of tread left. What would cause this? Any of you experience this on your Sonata's?

These are the OE tires with 37k miles on them.

I had the tires rotated so I'm good up front at least for now. ...

So do any other Hyundai dealers add these "market adjustments" to the MSRP? This picture happens to come from my local dealer (name withheld to protect the guilty). They also own Nissa, Mazda, and a Mitsubishi dealers, all of which do this market adjustment BS. Most adjustments were $999 (even for a big-a$$ gas guzzling V8 Nissan SUV), but the Nissan Versa was...

I painted the chrome on the hood and all the emblems. I like it but will be buying a badgeless grill soon.

After much debate I have decided NOT to put nitrous on my car. I simply just owe to much on it and need it to get to and from work/school everyday and can't afford it blowing up on me. Sorry guys!

Instead I am going to get the Duraflex body kit for the Sonata,...

The search doesn't work So I cant find it. What bulbs did you use are they still working and how many did you need?

Hello everyone.
It's no big deal but I thought I'd share my install with anyone who needed ideas on where to place one of those portable gps units.
I really wanted to install an aftermarket in-dash dvd-nav, but unfortunatly you can't buy the dash kit for the 09's yet. Yes, metra has the part listed on their website but you can't buy it yet(I called them).
Anyway...

Hi I'm looking for a set of stock 5 spoke 07 or 08 - 17" wheels to put on my 09 4cyl. I believe the bolt patter should be the same, but if anyone has any input on that it would be appreciated. Also, if anyone has any leads on where I might find some that would also be appreciated. Thanks

I need to patch some dings in the paint on the front of my '06 Sonata GLS V6 and its proving to be extremely hard to even find out what color my car is.

The paint code on the plate on the door says "Paint: U1" but depending on where I go online, that can mean Aquamarine Mica, Deep Water Blue, Deep Blue Metallic, Aurora Blue Pearl, Steel Blue... there are half a dozen...

Still waiting......wife has been asking the same thing - "When is Hyundai supposed to send the letter about the recall."

Seems like they are taking their good old time regarding a potential serious problem!! default/sad.gif' 'sad.gif' />

Both time I was at full throttle, when the car hit the top of 1st gear it hit the rev limiter then shifted then again after driving around abut an hour I got on it going up the freeway on ramp and "put put" it reved out again? Any ideas?
