Mig v Sonata
« on: 15 April 2008, 23:18:56 »
My girlfiend just bought me a Hyundai Sonata as my mig has been very ill with suspected head gasket failure.

The coolant leak on the mig was fixed with k-seal and is now running fine.

Do you think I should keep the mig or sonata?

I would obviously try and get another mig eventually! :y

Not my first choice of car but there is good and bad and when i say bad i mean friday afternoon before christmas. A friend of mine had Hyundai people carrier and in the year he had it he did about 45,000 miles and spent about £9000 on things like a new head and gearbox so he got rid when he got the chance. :)

Garage clear out in March 2011 and I will have a large amount of omega parts going very cheap.

Just what I was thinking ... drive the Sonata while the Miggy is fixed PROPERLY, then sell the one you like least - and I bet I know which THAT will be  !!  :)

Irrespective of running costs etc, I know which body shell I would trust my (and my kids) lives in.  

Just ask Mark DTM how his omega stood up to being run over by a truck.

Years ago when i was a yoof, i had a Nissan sunny.  Nice and cheap to run, and reliable but no solidity in the body at all.  Sold it before i crashed it and seriously hurt myself.  The thin tin made me nervous.

i had a hyundai pick up a few yrs ago. column change that was hard to get in gear and the steering was as  light as hell.
emergency braking at 35mph= fiesta and escort in front both written off. never felt safe in it in the 6 months i drove it.

Yes, it amazed me that it still ran and drove!

Miggy is much stronger and well known and also cheaper to fix in UK ..

Will never touch a Hyundai..
