Buying today? Yes. But I only have 12,000 miles and six months on my Sonata.
Perfect so far. Ask me again after I've had it for four years or so.

 

Yes but not from the dealer that I bought the last 3 from in Weatherford
Texas USA

Yes, but not going to. I got most of my family to buy Hyundais 2
Elantras and 1 Entourage (Actually 3 Elantras selling mine to family
member). Nothing against them but they just don't have what I'm
looking for right now.
After looking around for the past few months I have decide on A Chevy
Equinox as my next vehicle. Thought about the Tucson and a Murano but
the Chevy is a happy medium, plus $1000 of because of my GM credit card.

Yes, but... I am at roughly 10 months and 8000 miles on my Sonata
with relatively few issues and lots of smiles.

As for the "yes but" part... Looking back, I wish I'd waited for the
new Santa Fe. It just would have been the better choice for me.

 

Maybe. I found a GREAT dealer in Plano, TX, Huffines (bought our 2nd one
there), and a crooked dealer in Mesquite...(bought our 3rd one there).

However, Hyundais are getting expensive enough that they are losing their
cost - effective appeal. They still have their relative ease of maintenance
going for them, however they are not as fuel (or emission) efficient as,
say, Honda. Also, for the $$, surprisingly enough, GM cars are catching up
fast... believe me that is hard for me to admit.... I have lothed them for
30 years - but they seem to have gotten their act together (almost too
late).

So either a GM or a Honda would probably be my next car.... or a vintage
Porsche 911 if I won the lottery .

I already did. This is my second one. Yes, I would buy another, but not
until this one dies.

I'd buy another Hyundai possibly, but probably not another standard
shift. Their throttle/clutch combination in my Sonata is the pits.

I'd like to get a BMW, Audi or maybe VW as the Germans know how to make
a standard shift vehicle. If I buy another minivan, I'll consider a
Hyundai, but my next purchase will likely be a truck to replace my 94
Chevy and it likely will be another Chevy.

I'm going to test drive a Tundra today as Toyota says they will give me
a $50 Home Depot gift certificate if I do. That is enough incentive for
me! :-)

Most DEFINATELY Im waiting for the full size luxuary version to come here, I
already have 3 in my family, my wife has a 2003 Santa Fe, I have a 2005
XG50L and my daughter has a 2007 Tucson... Also in the family is my

I have an 03 Elantra and an 06 Sonata LX. Like both cars. The Elantra for
around town. The Sonata would be good on the highway if it didn't have
those 17 inch HARD tires..Probably buy another Mercury Grand Marquis for
the road. I got better mileage on my last Merc than I'm getting on this
Sonara..and it rode a whale of a lot better!!

 

also might consider an entourage

 

I won't argue that GM's are catching up fast. But, being a recovering GM
apologist, I can tell you they are still nowhere's near where they have to
be to start being competitive again.

Still way too many problems I can only define as "GM'isms." I have an '03
Oldsmobile, and I, for one, am not seeing near the improvements I need to
yet.

Domestics are only slowly and begrudgingly starting to try to address their
3rd-rate powertrains - like the one currently in the Equinox (do not see why
someone would think that vehicle is perfect for them). And GM's continue to
have some of the worst seats in the industry.

Now GM has just recently come out with a new 3.6L V6, being matched to
either a 5- or 6-speed transmission. This is looking like a seriously good
powertrain, but up until now, they are refusing to put it into vehicles like
the Equinox (though it is now in the Equinox-based Suzuki XL-7).

But until they get more history, and more of a dedicated willingness to do
these kinds of things, right now Hyundai runs circles around GM.

And Hyundai, by the way, is the only car company that Honda is taking
seriously - and Hyundai and Honda are the two companies GM is studying the
most for "how to do it right."

That is pretty dumb since Toyota is clearly the leader in almost every
front in the auto industry. It is pretty sad when the car companies
can't even figure out who is in first.
