Old Newbie or New oldie?
 

Howdy, I'm over 60 years old, retired and thinking about the Sonata Hybrid as the last car I'll buy. My main concern is this.....does it have a regular spare or a space saver spare, or am I up a creek when it comes to usable spare tires? Also, can I install a hitch on this car and pull something small like a light utility trailer? What's the specs on towing capabilities?

Any response from anyone in hopes of becoming a part of this group.

Outside of pickups, I don't know of ANY car that has a regular spare. At best it has a space saver spare . . . assuming it has a spare at all. Many new cars make the spare tire OPTIONAL equipment you have to buy. They only come with a can of sealant and an air pump to fix a flat tire. I believe the Sonata Hybrid only has the "repair kit", no spare at all. You will have to buy one (and a jack) optionally.

And Hyundai suggests NOT towing with the Sonata Hybrid.
