Thanks much River19. Have to consider it with the 10/100000 warranty.

Hyundai shows just how important good management is. They used to turn out horrible products. In the space of a few years they've gotten to the point where they make some very nice cars that they support with great warrenties. The new 235 HP V6 Sonata is a very nice machine. is it as nice as an Accord? Not quite, but it is a good deal cheaper and has a ten year warrenty. Would that GM and Ford had Hyundai's management.

Did some research on the Sedona. Not good from Consumer Reports--this in itself did not deter me, as CR is often behind the curve, IMO, and 2006 brings a new version of the Sedona from what I understand, plus the great warranty.

But, lots of complaints on Edmunds, and complaints about getting jerked around on the warranty, with Kia/Hyundai taking the position that lots of problems are not covered.

I'm back to looking for a previously owned Odyssey but will continue to look around.

I've always owner Toyotas, but I'd be lying if I didn't admit I ~really~ wanted a Santa Fe.

Had to settle for a pre-owned Rav4. I do love it, but I still want a Santa Fe one day.

Does Hyundai make a minivan? I'm in the market and was leaning toward an Odyssey over a Sienna. Does Hyundai still have a 7/100,000 warranty?




Beware of Honda's 5-speed auto transmissions......

Do you know whether Honda even makes Odyssey with a manual transmission? It seems everything is an automatic nowadays.

My wife and I just bought a Tiburon. For the price and the warranty it is well worth getting. Lots of people have asked us "why Hyundai when you could of got a better sports coupe?" It really came down to the 100,000 mile warranty, we also extended the bumper to bumper to 100k miles. Plus the Tiburon is really nice compared to what it once was.

I don't believe they do. I haven't tracked their transmission faults the last couple of years. I used to have an Acura (Honda) MDX. I got rid of it after two years because the transmission fluid was 'browning' indicating excessive heat.

Just do your research. There are internet forums for just about every vehicle that owners can have discussions.

Good luck!

If Korea could pop out a 280 HP Tiburon (with optional V8) and Hyundai would have something to really look at versus the muscle car craze currently going.

Must be Samsung.... The Koreans have this name for the mega-corporations they have (can't remember the word), which seem pretty akin to the OCP of Robocop fame...

As long as my Hyundai doesn't come equipped with a bbq dog cooker I might check out purchasing one.

They like dog over there. Makes you feel warm all over according to a guy I used to know that was over there during his stint in the military.
