I bought a Hyundia Sonata (Korean company) in 2006 and loved it until I just bought a new 2013 Sonata. Gave the old one to my son as his first car. I would definitely recommend one.
The Korean car companies are on a roll! While the current Sonata style is starting to look faddish...to me...I REALLY like the previous generation. Lots of greenhouse and easy access. The current generation looks too swoopy and hard to get in and out of, but that might just be me.
Mrs p6 aand I are very close to getting rid of our beloved 98 Durango in favor of a Kia Soul. The only problem is I like big V8’s with 4wd/AWD.
Actually since I have become VERY intimate with our 30k original miles 92 Saturn I am thinking of getting a Vue, or a 3 door coupe.
I like the pladtic, can work on the mechanicals and we get 30+ mpg in town.
