We just took delivery on our 2006 Sonata GLS V6. Overall this is a great car, though we have never had a vehicle with features like ABS, traction control, etc., and it's something of an adjustment getting used to all this computer-controlled stuff. One thing we are noticing is that there is kind o..

I am thinking about buying the Sonata GLS V6, which is being assembled in the new plant in AL. (the V4 is still being made in Korea) I know the Sonata's in the past several years have been well made, but I am concerned about the change in their manufacturing plant. If you are a 06 Hyundai Sonata ..

« V4? I have an I4 that was made in Korea so I can't comment on the Alabama plant's quality. Matt »
« Bubba, I'll chime in although I only have 800 miles on my GLS V6. Build quality on mine was about 99%. I had a small door gasket leak on the driver's side near the outside mirror. It made a sligh.. »

I picked up my new Sonata V6 about a month ago. Also did a long trip with 2 other adults in the car. Lots of leg room and comfort front and back seats with prenty of luggage space. The car is amazing. I was travelling at speeds up to 145 kms without even noticing I was going that fast... hehehhe. ..

Hi Folks, I asked my service adviser the approximate cost for the 15k service. He told me $455.00 plus tax. Is it me or is that excessive. Granted I'm in NJ and all but seems high to me. What do you think? Thanks
« VERY high, IMO. They are going to do an oil change and some inspection. Note the "if necessary" before most of the items listed. This is where many dealers hose the customer and make a lot of mo.. »
« Hi, I think it's a total ripoff and I'd run from that dealer. They are obviously trying to rip you off. I have the 06 Sonata 6 cyl auto that just had the $15k check last week. My price was $125 with.. »
« thanks guy's, that is what I thought all along. »
