NEW 2006 SONATA

The new Sonatas are very pretty. I would buy one only like you I'm wating to get word on how well they stay in one piece in real world driving situations and through *time* damage i.e. damage over use over the progress of time.

If one waits for results "over time", one will no longer be buying a new car ! There are some good reviews in Edmund; check out :

Double Wishbone front suspension! ESC Standard! I wonder if the 235 HP V6 can be had with a standard 5-speed manual transaxle.

To be honest with you. I myself would wait at least 2 years for the car I want and buy it used. That way I don't get crucified from the cost of depreciation. I've had a new car from the start and to be honest with you I can do without being the first owner to save some big $$$.

You are right. But different circumstances result in different choices.

V6 comes with automatic only. I believe you have the choice of a 4 or 5 speed auto.
