I'm selling my 2011 Hyundai Sonata SE Pacific Pearl Blue with 27,5xx miles because I live in the city and don't want to pay the outrageous parking rates. I'm selling on CL because I like to cut out middlemen who do not add value whenever possible. In a nutshell, I want to split the dealer's take with you, and we can both go home happy.
- I have a folder with receipts documenting the maintenance and small repairs done on the car; the CarFax history report also verifies maintenance.
- The car has had manufacture suggested checks up to the mileage to-date.
- Oil/checks have been performed every 5k for the first 15k, and every 3k thereafter. The service dates were done by Hyundai dealerships who also performed some warranty work. Since about 15k miles, I have been taking the car to my local mechanic that has been servicing my family's cars for 15 years; we have had cars run to over 215k.
*Appearance/Exterior Work*
- In 2012, I was rear ended at a low speed while on a trip with the car. The damages were approximately $1,200 and were on the real drivers-side bumper. Recently, my drivers-side taillight became unhooked from the plastic bolts holding it in place, and I had the taillight replaced last week. I believe the taillight issue was related to the fender bender.
- The car was parked on the street in Chicago for approximately 11 months at my old apartment. During that time, I had the good fortune of being the recipient of small paint scrapes on the rear bumper, a keying on the rear passenger door (aprox. 1.5 inches), and a scoff that appears to be from a door on the rear driver's side door (aprox .25 inches). The passenger side wheels also have a few curb burns from parking too close to the curb.
-- Last week, I took the car to the body shop and had them replace the rear taillight (from above), and buff and touch-up the bumper and respective scrapes on the doors. The paint scrapes on the rear bumper are virtually gone, and the two scrapes on the doors require effort to find. I have the receipt.
- I just had the car detailed (interior and exterior) on 9/14.
From my personal point of view, my favorite aspects of the car are, in no particular order:
- looks: Hyundai did a great job redesigning the Sonata's in 2011, and the SE has bigger wheels than the Limited and more chrome than the GLS and Limited.
- efficiency and practicality: I regularly get 35+mpg on the highway and the gas tank is large enough to outlive most bladders on road trips. In terms of practicality, its a four-door sedan; it holds people comfortably and has a great size trunk.
- reliability: I have never had any problems with the car, and the warranty comforted me at the original purchase (and is still valid with plenty of time and miles remaining). The Sonata line is well regarded in terms of reliability and maintenance is relatively cheap (it ain't no BMW).
- driving: The driving experience is enjoyable for a mid-size sedan; the manual mode in the transmission is great for passing and provides a satisfactory illusion of a more sporty car on two lane twisties.
- technology: bluetooth in the car is literally lifesaving and makes it easy to make phone calls and play music from a phone and they keyless entry and start are great (you don't even have to remove the key from your pocket).

Peter Schreyer designs the future of Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis
Fri, Mar 25 2016Peter Schreyer now leads the design teams at Hyundai, Kia, and the new Genesis brand. He has the difficult task of differentiating the three brands aesthetically, even if they share mechanical components. A new profile about the designer by Bloomberg shows just how much he means to the Korean brands, and it's well worth a read. According to Bloomberg, Schreyer has distinctive ideas for the Korean brands' design. A Kia should look sporty and appeal to young buyers. In contrast, a Hyundai would be for someone who prefers a minimalist design. So far, Genesis is blending those traits for its Athletic Elegance design language. Schreyer went to Kia from Volkswagen Group in 2006, and his mission was to revolutionize the Korean's brand's boring look. He succeeded with sharper, more modern designs for vehicles like the Optima and Sorento that arrived after he took over. He did such a good job there that Hyundai-Kia Motor Group appointed him as its first non-Korean president at the end of 2012. He also now oversees former Lamborghini designer Luc Donckerwolke at the Genesis luxury brand. Bloomberg speaks with industry analysts and other designers to get a better idea of Schreyer's meaning to the company. The piece presents him as an easygoing person who knows exactly how each vehicle should look. If you want to get a better Schreyer and his work at Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis, the story is worth checking out. Related Video:
2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo: February 2013
Mon, 25 Feb 2013I just couldn't bring myself to lead this post with the image you see on the right. The winter months have not been kind to our matte gray 2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo, and since you can't just run the thing through your local car wash, our oddly shaped little hatchback has spent more days dirty than clean. It breaks my fleet manager heart to see one of our test cars covered in schmutz so frequently, but let's be honest - the last thing anyone wants to do when it's 12 degrees Fahrenheit outside is play with a hose and spend a good amount of time hand-washing a car.
Moral of the story: If you live in a cold-weather state where you expect to get regular doses of the white stuff, matte paint probably isn't for you. Not to worry, though, as the Veloster Turbo is offered in plenty of pretty, car wash-friendly colors.
We'll have a lot more to talk about regarding the Veloster's cleanability in forthcoming updates, and we're even planning a trip to the Dr. Beasley's office - the company that created the special matte paint detailing kit for the Hyundai - to have their experts show us how it's done. For now, let's spend some time talking about what we've learned about the turbocharged hatch during its honeymoon phase here in the Autoblog Garage.
Hyundai considering pickup after good reaction to Santa Cruz
Tue, Mar 17 2015The Hyundai HCD-15 Santa Cruz pickup concept was one of the stars of the 2015 Detroit Auto Show and even earned fifth place on Autoblog's Editors' Choice list of favorite debuts. The strong response might have been enough to get it made. Hyundai research and development director Park Byung-cheol said that the company was considering building the truck, according to Reuters. He warned, though, that there were still some obstacles in the way of the pickup arriving to showrooms without saying what those were. Rumors about Hyundai considering a pickup in the US go back several years but were fruitless. The Santa Cruz's unveiling really reignited things, though. The North American arm of the Korean brand reportedly chose Detroit for the debut so that foreign executives could see the media reaction to the concept. That gamble might have paid off. Hyundai's pickup at dealers might not look like the Santa Cruz concept, though. The company said the version in Detroit had nothing production-ready about it and even lacked an interior. At the time, a platform still hadn't been decided on, and the brand had several internal design studies underway. Related Video:
