 Bought the car off the show room floor in North Los Angeles and drove it home 130 miles south to San Diego.  I t was a great trip.  New Car, New Car smell and acceleration galore.  Car is fast.  I moved to the mid south a year later and have been there ever since. Car is great in snow and ice.  Car has 175K miles and is still on original spark plugs.  Still on original transmission fluid and original radiator fluid.  I get an oil change religiously every 3000 miles (I think thats the secret to long life).  Car has had no major trouble.  I tow with it all the time. (5x8 utility trailer 1000 lbs not a problem).  Minor problems include: Sun Visor, brake pedal switch, rear 3rd brake lamp, replace headlamps 3 times, drivers window when wet and rear brake lamps bulbs.  I have driven the car at 130 miles an hour in the Southern California desert just to see if cruise control works at over 100 mph  (it does). Best Feature: Reliability. I would buy another but they don't offer that V-6 in a sonata,  It is available in the Santa Fe and it now produces almost 300 hp.  I like this brand and will stick with it.  They need to hurry up and make the Santa Cruz  cause I need a new vehicle...10 years time for a change.  And yes I will keep the old sonota as a second car until she dies.
