 My second hyundai. First was "99 Accent 
which was very dependable. Sonata was 
bought new, July "01. Car has 61130 mi. 
Battery replaced after 24 mos., Front 
rotors turned--47000mi. Front rotors 
and pads replaced @ 60000 mi--$ll8.00. 
Other than oilchnge every 5,000mi, 
repairs, bat&rotors, came to less thn 
$200. Car is quiet, smooth, roomy. Many 
good comments from friends on ride and 
performance. Owned around 30 cars in my 
life, my sonata is among the best I've 
owned, Major dislike: Steering is too 
light.  I prefer more road feel.
