My previous car was a Honda Accord. You know how they advise that you stop every 2 hours to stretch/maintain focus when on long trips? I stopped because the lower back pain was killing. I emerged from the Accord in the shape of a question mark throughout the journey. In contrast, I can skip the 2 hour suggestion. Like a Chrysler (the comfiest seats ever), I can just keep going until there's a real reason to stop, like coffee or de-watering the dog. And, unlike the 4 cyl Accord, the 6 cyl has power. I have the sports package, and can happily zip past trucks before they kick rocks up and fracture my windshield (again). I can summon enough quick power here in suburbia to avoid being stopped at every corner's badly-timed lights. I'd burn out a lesser car. Sure I'd buy another Sonata. If I were better-funded, I might even get a Genesis.

 

I have 94,000 miles on my 2007 Sonata Limited. Got a good deal in purchase ($20,000 in Northern Virginia). Lifetime oil changes and state inspections are free. So far, the car need replacement of two O2 sensors during the first 10,000 miles, two visors for drooping down at around 25000 miles, a motor for the power driver seat at around 30,000 miles, the 3rd brake light bulb at 40,000 miles, two fog lamp bulbs at 50,000 and 55,000 miles, one head lamp bulb at 55,000 miles, two rear lamp bulbs at around 30,000 miles. Except the lamp bulbs, all the work was performed under warranty.

That is it, other than oil changes and other fluid changes as well as brake service at 50,000 miles. The car provided great value for me. At 94,,000 miles, the car still accelerate great, almost like when it was new. Brake rotors probably need resurfacing since it was last done at 50,000 miles.

I want to get another car for the family, deciding between Sonata and Genesis. Probably will settle on Sonata for the better gas mileage.
