Just recently returned from vacation, and the rental car I had was an
'06 Sonata V6 with 1179 miles on it. I picked the car up in Denver a
bit disappointed since I was hoping for a Mustang. I drove the car
from Denver to Rapid City to Sioux Falls to Minneapolis and put about
1100 miles on the car. I was surprised by the size of the car (I have
an Elantra '05 hatch) it seemed much bigger then I thought it was. I
drove 98% of the time on the highway with the cruise control set
between 70-80 mph and the AC on, by the time I turned the car in the
trip computer said I was getting 40MPG. My only complaint about the
car was the control for the sunroof, I prefer separate switches for
tilt and open as opposed to the one switch in the Sonata (I kept
getting the feeling it wasn't closed properly). If I had known the
Sonata was this roomy and got such good gas mileage I would have bought
one instead of the Elantra.
