 To start the previous automobile was a 1997 Buick Park Avenue Ultra, 190k trouble free miles, tranny went.Too pricey to replace with Lucerne.Nearly entire family drives Hyundai's now.Bought Sonata.Transmission:Wish it had a "winter" mode, button to start in 2nd gear... Feel fifth could be leaner.Excellent acceleration, smooth and quiet, nicely laid out with high enough quality feel and look.Have near 60k, had one mechanical issue and dealership has been great. Niggling, butaccess to high mount stop lamp bulb is crazy, tires have worn out very quickly(not the car's fault)...Have not had an alignment and I live in Buffalo, which amazes me.
