Perhaps he doesn't want the V8. Could be any number of reasons why,
expense, purchase price, point being, that wasn't his choice.......Doc

No, just talking usenet reality.


No, it is a logical extension of your original argument.

Matt

It's only easier to admit if it were actually true. If telling the truth
just makes me look silly, then just call me Mr. Silly.

I'll stop feeding the troll now because I know that almost everyone that
bothered to drive the V6 bought it.

I am pretty sure Matt has never had the opportunity to drive in conditions
that we call "normal". So please go easy on the troll, for he knows not
what we speak of :-)

Even I can only imagine how much worse it is for you than me.

See, I knew it was reading comprehension problem!! I wasn't comparing
anything to your 1970 Fury, unless you are that much in a fog to think that
1970 was "just a few years ago".

I drove both. I liked both. The decision point for me was three-fold:

1. I like stick shift and the Sonata doesn't offer a stick with the V-6
2. I was after fuel economy.
3. I wanted to keep the initial price as low as possible.

So, the 4 cylinder was an easy decision. And the ironic part is that it
easily out accelerates my V-6 minivan and my V-6 pickup truck. :-)


Matt

Maybe, maybe not. What are your normal conditions? I've driven in
Boston, LA, Atlanta, Paris, most of England and many large cities in the
USA. I haven't driven in Italy and I hear that is one of the most
challenging places to drive. Are you in Italy? :-)

Matt

Wowwee, you certianly do get around on this planet...........jeez! You
should do a tv travel show. Just one question why would you think he
was in italy?....Doc

I've driven in all of those cities as well as Rome and Venice in Italy.
That still doesn't answer the question of what your normal conditions are.
Southern California was the worst I've seen by far, but where I live is
second on the list without a doubt, although I'd have to say that Atlanta
wasn't too far behind.

Fair enough. I'm not judging your decision. For me, having to sit in
daily crawling traffic, a stick just doesn't make any sense. I did NOT
drive the 4 with a stick (the dealer didn't have one even if I wanted to).
Maybe that has good enough power, but you have to admit that the automatic
was a bit on the feebler side as far as pulling out into traffic, no? The
V6 was even an easier decision for me without the stick in the equation.

Just out of curiosity, do you know how much the minivan and pickup weigh
versus the Sonata?
