We are looking to replace our 2003 Ford Taurus that has been a good car for over a decade but has had its share of maintenance issues like eating four alternators.

I would like to hear comments about any maintenance problems I might expect from a 2016 Sonata. Things like how difficult it is to perform basic to moderate maintenance. Oil changes, brakes, spark plugs, alternators, fuel pumps, brakes, cooling system hoses, fuel filters. I do almost all my own maintenance since there seems to be no trustworthy or reasonably priced shops out there.

Would you buy a Sonata again knowing what you know now?

Thanks,

Mike
