Car Forum / Hyundai Cars / May 2008CD's in all Hyundai's now standard?
I got screwed when I bought my 05 model, never thinking they would put a cassette player in as standard-no CD! Anyone know if the Accents or Elantra will have CD as standard Equipment on 09 models. What's next-8 track? LOL. freddy <melbedewy1226@hotmail.com> wrote in news:e33b6eee-163e-4677-a6db- 69c1eda82282@2g2000hsn.googlegroups.com: > I got screwed when I bought my 05 model, never thinking they would put > a cassette player in as standard-no CD! > Anyone know if the Accents or Elantra will have CD as standard > Equipment on 09 models. > What's next-8 track? LOL. My new 08 accent had a standard cd player that actually plays mp3's as well. >I got screwed when I bought my 05 model, never thinking they would put >a cassette player in as standard-no CD! You did not specify which model. Not all models come with cassette player as standard. Accent and Elantra base models (the best definition of "standard") come with speakers but no head unit, as far as I can tell. Sonata, Azera, Tiburon, Tucson, Santa Fe, Vera Cruz and Entourage all come with CDs as standard. I could not find any model on the Hyundai USA website coming with a standard cassette, but maybe you are not in the US -- another vital piece of information. Genesis promises to come with a 6-disc in dash DVD changer. I tell you one let down I had with my new Santa Fe vs my 2005 Tiburon -- the Tib had a cassette and 6-disc CD player with 400+ Watts power. The new more expensive Santa Fe only has the 6-disc CD player with 605W system -- no cassette! >Anyone know if the Accents or Elantra will have CD as standard >Equipment on 09 models.

I have an 05 Accent I think it is GL or GS-the basic. 4 door. I never inquired as to sound system. I was shocked to find a cassette player in a 21st century car. Pre-recorded cassette's have been obsolete for about 15 years! What I've done is record a couple of dozen of my favorite CD's on blank casssettes (luckily I still have a stereo system that can do this) but this makes as much sense as having modern sewers put in and then connecting them to an old leech field. Maybe I'm spoiled having bought Lincoln's in the past but I assumed any 21st century car would have CD as standard equipment. > > On Sat, 17 May 2008 13:58:56 -0700 (PDT), freddy > > [quoted text clipped - 38 lines] > the past but I assumed any 21st century car would have CD as standard > equipment. Shouldn't assume when buying a car, the accent is Hyundai's base model car, they probably had a warehouse full of tape players they still had to get rid of. Be lucky, chevy still sells their base model work trucks with just an am/fm radio. no CD, no cassette. > I got screwed when I bought my 05 model, never thinking they would put > a cassette player in as standard-no CD! > Anyone know if the Accents or Elantra will have CD as standard > Equipment on 09 models. > What's next-8 track? LOL. Are you sure your car was a 05? My 05 Accent 3 door came with a CD player, It was not listed as an option on the window sticker, Unless it was part of a package that included power windows and mirrors. I just traded in the Hyundai, It was a good little car but the Hyundai dealer that I have come in contact with here in Florida made me decide to try another brand.

[quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > And why would a huyndai dealer make you buy another brand? I guess I phrased that badly. Because of the terrible way the Hyundai dealer treated us I decided I didn't want to do business with him again. I have been purchasing new cars and trucks (mostly Fords) since 1977 and have never had a dealer try to rip me off like this dealer did. Fool me once, shame on you, Fool me twice, shame on me. I liked the car, but not the dealer. Jack Cassidy |
