Re: Need opinion on Sonata 2006
I had recently the V6 Sonata for a car rental.
On the positive side, the car drove well (although not as tight as my Accord)
and was comfortable. Plus all of the options can't be beat (leather seats,
standard MP3 player climate control).
Now onto the negative side of things.....
The interior felt like it was smaller than our Accord, but checking the
interior on both cars, the numbers looks the same.
The side mirror do not fold. While it may seem a minor issue, on my
Accord which do fold, I've had them bent so many times that I won't buy a car
without them.
The rear window is narrow. While it isn't as bad as say an Impala, I
really hate car manufactures that are doing this to cars. It's almost like they
want you to get into an accident since you can't see as much from the rear.
As a previous poster mentioned, if you don't have any problems with your Toyota
why buy a new car? Save the money and run the car to the ground.

I guess that's because the cars are practically the same.
If you have a low mileage 2002 Camry in good shape, a 2006 car in the same
class doesn't have much to justify a new one. The one I recently rode in was
like new, and I couldn't see selling at all.
I'm sure there are plenty of 02 Camry's out there that are ready to be
traded in. In that case, the Sonata would be an excellent choice.
Personally, if I was wealthy enough to trade in every 4 years regardless of
the mileage or condition of my car, I would probably go for the big Lexus or
Azera.

I understand need vs. want, and though the cars serve the same market, their
are some real differences, no? It was my feeling the OP wanted opinions of
the '06 Sonata, more so than opinions of the "02 Camry. ps do you the think
the Azera hit the mark on styling ? Maybe the wind deflector for the sun
roof is what's homely. PPS Who doesn't love the 3.3v6, it's wonderful under
acceleration.

Re: Need opinion on Sonata 2006
My LX is as good a car is there is out there. It's fun to drive. few
little problems crop up but so far it's a good car. now have 5000 miles on
it. average 16.7 MPG city and 27.1 MPH highway with cruise control. It's
larger interior than the camrey and larger than the accord. Lots of leg
room, head room.

My point was, an 02 Camry can practically be a new car if it was taken good
care of.
I agree the V6 Sonata is a nice little step up in power and safety.
