I'm looking for real life comparisons.
I was looking at a Sonata LX with a moonroof that came with a Six disc CD

has anyone ever heard of a battery having a dead cell and then turning on the
defense mechanism of the computer so your car won't start? my stepson's
hyundai accent wouldn't start and i got 12 volts at the battery and at the

Well, some good news on the gas mileage front.  It appears that my
Sonata is responding well to the warmer weather we've had lately (50s
and 60s).  The last two fill-ups have been higher than previous tanks

I am very curious to know the reliability of Hyundais in general , so,
if you have more than 80,000 miles racked up, tell us if youve had any

Hyundai has released a revised evaporator drain hose that (purportedly, I

I have a 2006 Sonata with 5200 miles on it. It is a GLS V6 and I really
lover it BUT..

1800 miles, 4th tank of gas averaged 20.3 mpg, mostly local driving, trips
of about 5 miles at a time. is that about right?

How can I tell if my '95 Elantra GLS has rear shocks or struts? Thanks.

Other car bumped into the left front side my Santa Fe bumper: no
dent/cracks, just a few scratchs that show the next layer darker color

this ?  Thanks.
