my Hyundai Sonata Hybrid.
I have had my Sonata Hybrid for about two years now, and initially part exchanged a standard Sonata (with 130,000 miles) for it. I live in Peoria, but work in downtown Phoenix. I am environmentally conscious, so the Hybrid fits my needs from many angles. I drive about 15 miles each way into work in stop-start traffic and still get well over 36 miles per gallon. Obviously I'm not out racing against Ferraris, but the car has great get up and go. On several occasions I have driven to Dallas Texas to visit family, with no problems, regularly driving "close" to the speed limits (even on the 80mph stretch in Texas). I only have 20,000 on the car at the moment, but between the two Sonatas, The only problem I have experienced was a slight oil leak on the valve cover of my original Sonata, which was replaced under warranty, and was so minor that I hadn't even noticed it, but I was advised of it when I took it for service at Don Carltons Hyundai in Tulsa. I'm expecting many years of worry free driving, and know if I do have any problems, the people at Larry Millers in Peoria will be able to fix it for me. Incidentally I traded a Mercedes 500 SEL for my first Sonata and was skeptical about reliability (because of the problems I had had with the Mercedes). I have been pleasantly surprised with my Hyundais and they have been the most reliable vehicles I have ever owned.
