I loved my 06 Hyundai Sonata. Comfortable, with 240 HP, ESC, a full set
of airbags, and looks that won't draw a lot of attention. Just my kind
of car. The sound system was the best I ever had. I could hear Jimi's
fingers on the strings when blasting "Hey Joe." What's not to love? The
car was assembled in Alabama, and they did an awesome job. In my awesome
opinion, Toyota is dead meat - well, maybe not but could be! :-)
