04 Sonata - Hyundai Performance Forums

NewSonata · 11-19-2006, 09:16 AM

I am going to be buying an 04 Sonata. It is really nice and it is the 6 cylinder. I am not going to do much of anything to it. I figure a set of whells and a stereo.
But my main question is, How nice are these cars? Are there any Problems to look out for? Basicly tell me about this car!
Thanks so much,
Justin

Very nice cars. My mom has one and it is fun to drive. She has the 4cyl and it is pretty quick even in the automatic. I'd love to test drive a 6cyl, but I don't know anyone around here with one. The ONLY problem she has had is the passenger rear door lock (it makes a grinding noise and doesn't unlock) and she's put almost 50,000 miles on it.

As far as i know they are pretty nice rides. You wont get as good as gasmilage as you think you should. I would at least get a K&N filter for it. They do wonders for gas milage and performance. Get a nice set of rims, a system, and tint the windows. Thats all you got to do and your ride will be pretty sweet.

So really they don't have any problems to worry about? Picking it up tomorrow. It is the GLS/LX version with the AutoStick Tranny. It is a dark gray. Is it worth keeping the factory cd player and just run convertors to put the amps in?

Keep the factory deck beacuase it flows with the dash.

DO put new speakers, amps, and what nots. Including an EQ.

Alright sounds good! We will see how everything goes today! I am excited! I am only 17 but I am glad i found such a nice car that i can afford! Now the Neon becomes pure track car.

Also does anybody sell some good looking grills for the 04 Sonata?
