thanks hyundaitech. the 20k to 25 k is the sticker price i see on the
new cars. we get a lot of check engine lights on some of the cars but
don't think i have ever saw one come on on the sonata. love the standard
trip computer that comes on the sonata. also like the standard 6 airbags
on the 2008s and the standard stability control. seems like you get a
lot of car for the money. also noticed standard satellite radio on the
2008s.   in case anyone wants to know the fastest car hertz rents that
we have a lot of is the infinity g35 , seems faster than the dodge
charger with the hemmi v8..   5.6 seconds 0 to 60 for the g35. 6.0
seconds  0 to 60 for the charger with the hemmi according to consumer
reports.  guess i am just an old man of 60 who still likes to put his
foot in it from time to time.

Is that Hertz's used price?  Used '06 Sonatas should be going for a
LOT less than 20-25K.  Maybe $14K.

My brand new '06 was bit less than 20K.

Since you work at Hertz, go ask your maintenance people what they
think of the Sonata.  And let us know what you find out.  It would be
very interesting to know what a rental company thinks of this car.

no real problem. but wonder what you think about the 2007 & 2008 sonata
V6.  drive a camry and thinking about selling it and getting a 2007 or
2008 sonata V6. retired but work for hertz part time and of all the cars
we have in the $20000.00 to $25000.00 price range the sonata V6  is the
most fun to drive. handles great and lots and lots of power when you
need it with pretty good gas mileage. just wondered if you think the
sonata is on par with the camry and hold up in the long term. any real
problems  with the sonata or complaints from owners? my camry is a 2006
le 4cyl. great car but oh so  boring.   thanks   DAVE
