Used 2006 Hyundai Sonata for Sale

While the Hyundai Sonata has a lot of great features, the 2006 model has some not-so-great qualities that they should look at for later models. It’s geared high, so keeping it in first and trying to go up a slick hill won’t work. It still has too much power, even in the lower gears. The stereo does not have any extra hookups for devices or audio input, just a CD player. That one is a little less terrible because it was 2006 and those features weren’t standard in any vehicle yet. It is also really expensive to replace anything on the vehicle since it has the nicer engine. Oil changes are $60, the spark plugs were $20 a piece instead of $6, the headlights take the nicer bulbs, etc. It isn’t at BMW levels, but it is still definitely something to consider. Additionally, there has been an issue with the coolant system that nobody has been able to figure out. Periodically, the coolant disappears and it isn’t going into the engine, or the brakes, or the gas line and it does not seem to be actually leaking out onto the pavement. It happens randomly and not always when it is hot or cold. This just means that I need to monitor it and occasionally add more coolant as needed.

It is getting older and I have started to have to make some repairs. My CD player has malfunctioned and will not allow me to retrieve my CD's.
