I agree that 2010 and later Hyundais are fine cars. In their earlier
days they were less than stellar.

Not Australian. US cars built in Australia.

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! :-)

06 was a major change for Hyundai. I used to laugh at people buying the
Excel. I bought an 07 Sonata Limited with the same engine as yours.
