2006 Hyundai Sonata GL review from North America

Front rotors warped a bit at 11K miles - Dealer turned them with no protest or charge (also made sure to let me know how many miles I had left on the base warranty).

Car is slow off the mark if cold (about 1 minute of warm up time seems to be sufficient, no matter how cold ambient temp is). My feeling is there is a sensor somewhere than needs time to come up to temp - to me, no biggie.

Typical "clunk" from the rear suspension on really bad pavement (I don't fret over it, and wonder why those that do fret do...).

Gasoline "sloshing" sound if the tank is totally full (In a car without this level of sound dampening, I doubt you'd even here it though)...

Sloshing goes away when fuel is just slightly less than full... No worries.

Handles well.

Quiet as a church inside.

Will definitely be checking out the Azera in a couple of years.

The area I live in (California's Splendiforous Central Valley...yippee!) is lousy with Hondas and Toyotas and is the the #1 area in the US to get your new or older Honda or Toyota stolen.

I deliberately picked a nice reliable comfortable understated car (Of NON Toyota, Honda, or Nissan make) that one of our many local car thieves shouldn't be targeting a couple of years from now for parts...
