Sonata GLS V6 Pricing?
Hi I was thinking of buying a GLS V6 Sonata. I got a coupl of quotes of
around 17350 to 17494 for the variant with moonroof. I was wondering is that a good price. Also is the V6 fuel consumption anywhere near the EPA figures? 1 has to be careful the way gas prices are looking now.. I mean if it's not worthy I could go for the 4 cylinder verssion & save a few hundred.. |

Take a look at Edmund's or Consumer Reports and you will see that the price is just about at the bottom line for the dealer including rebates and other incentives. The only chance for a bit of a rip off is that in your region, there may be another incentive that I can't check because I don't know where you are located. As far as gas mileage goes, there is a lot of discrepency over that. I am averaging just over 23 MPG with my GLS V6. Considering the EPA numbers are 20 city and 30 hwy, and I drive about 80% city or so, I think I am actually beating the numbers (just barely). But some have reported mileage as low as 15 MPG. And I have had tanks as low as 18 MPG myself in the Winter. I can't speak with too much authority on the 4 cyl., but it does seem that they typically get about 4 MPG more than the V6. Eric |

I have not driven the 4, but i sure do enjoy the 6. It may cost me 300 bucks a year more (my rough math), but its worth it to me. People spend(waste!) money in all sorts of ways. I'd treat myself to the 6, buts thats just me. |

I like the feeling of some power when I step on the gas and the 4 cylinders just don't deliver that. No matter whether it's off a stop light or out in the passing lane, I like to feel a decent motor under the hood without the thing winding itself out like a bumble bee in heat. And I like smooth too. Not many 4 cylinders deliver a smooth ride like a 6 does. I don't think it's a waste of money at all. It's your money and your preference - a waste of money would be buying something other than you really want. -- -Mike- mmarlowREMOVE@alltel.net |

Re: Sonata GLS V6 Pricing?
The mileage you get depends alot on your driving habits. I've got the V6 and averaged 29.3 on a trip of 1300 miles two weeks ago. This was a combination of interstate and highway driving in mildly hilly country (Southern Indiana and Kentucky). A lot of the time either the windows and sunroof were open or the A/C was going. |

It's your money and your preference - a waste > of money would be buying something other than you really want. I'm not arguing any of that. I can't!! I bought the V6 after driving both of them too. The OP asked for mileage numbers. I just provided mine, and a few examples of what others are claiming to get with the same engine. I would say you can expect to get between 15-24 MPG City and 24-32 MPG Hwy depending on just how much you like to push the non-linear, electronic throttle. A few weeks ago I managed to get 32.7 MPG on a trip to VA from NJ. It was a 1:00 AM - 5:00 AM trip with the cruise control on most of the time, windows closed, air off and so on. Almost "prefect" conditions. My trip home was 28.5 MPG in the evening with high humidity and the A/C on for a good portion of the trip. Eric |
