Future-Shite - 2012 Hyundai Sonata

[gtd2000]

Well this has been my daily method of conveyance for the past month or so.

 

Overall it's been pretty good but not as solid/well built as the Nissan Altima on a previous thread.

I like most of the styling on these, but the front end always puts me in mind of that scene from Brazil.

 

 

One facelift too many.

I had one of these when I was working in Los Angeles

I don't think that they are a good long term prospect, build quality and durability was still no better than the polish built new shape Panda I had for 3 years.

Here I am parked up on PCH after having a great drive up to Santa Barbara. Wonderful scenery.

That's for the SiriusXM satellite radio - basically the category button.

 

You'll see on the display that I'm in the Rock category and listening to the First Wave station.

It's good in the sense there are never any adverts on it - so it'll probably not be on air for long

I saw a few adverts for the Fiat 500 over here as a low cost car - not sure I'd be convinced to buy one, unless it had a fantastic warranty though.

 

I'd have to be priced at or below the Korean offer prices (in my opinion) of course

It's been many a year since I watched Brazil - might have it on one of my HDD's somewhere though...

With the car being Korean in origin - the mind boggles.

Sirius XM is a subscription service- XM only lost channels when they and Sirius Radio merged.

I like it because you never have to fuss about with changing stations- if you're on the highway a lot you have the same coverage coast to coast (big trees, tall buildings and tunnels notwithstanding). The reception quality is better than DAB and the playlist per channel isn't half bad.

I like the look of that Sonata. Wheels are a bit small, but the rest looks tidy enough. Mind you, a black car in Cali?

I think it looks rank, but I do like the fuel and temp gauges.

That does look lovely inside and out, much nicer than any other USA spec "sedan".

If you want a Sonata with a manual gearbox, you'd better hurry. 2013 models will be automatic only.
