2006 hyundai Sonata V6 0-60 run

[marcomariaz26]

2006 has 234hp/224tq. My 2009 has 249hp/229tq. Me thinks mine is a little quicker, based on this video...

[SpinMaster08]

this video is really retarded........just to let the rest of you dumbass's know

[pleeeeep]

i just hit 120mph with my 06 this morning. . . the quietness of the cabin is incredible, it was hard to believe i was going that fast.

[mendesb76]

i had one used 2006 top of line and this car is amazing. I drive constantly doing my job mercedes, lexus, audis, infinity and i can tell you one thing: the confort and speed of this car doesnt owe anything to all this others cars. This car is so fast that is going to surprise you: 0-60 in 6.7 seconds is what a lot of this fast cars do, and costing 5 times more.

[TheTexasHitmen]

Is this Sonata stock or did you do any mods. I just finished the engine, exhaust, intake, and computer programing and it is making 300 hp. I'm happy with it. Not a bad brand if you set it up right.

[Sebwang45]

haha lol at hyandai. cheap ass brand

[HailtotheThief21]

@Sebwang45 You didn't even spell Hyundai right fool Lol

[Sebwang45]

@HailtotheThief21 its cause the brand sucks that bad, it doesnt deserve to be spelled right ;)

[jamockwell]

I love this car.. just got one :D

[livinginthewater]

Hey xoQueefCakesxxo, trip over your own tongue much? Here's your Hyundai-loving post from 4 weeks ago:

"The engine sounds awful in the upper revs and the tranny short shifts like crazy. Forget this car, back in 06 I would have taken the Accord anyday with 244 hp (more than the Sonata with less displacement 3.0L vs 3.3L)"

You're stating facts from 3 years ago. That rhetoric is old and tired, and like I said before, your whole crap-spewing mission is just one big epic fail.

[wonderbread4332]

@livinginthewater my 08 sonata would murder that piece o shit honda the 08 has about 260 hp by the wayy

[livinginthewater]

Hey xoQueefCakesxxo I looked at your channel and you're obviously a hater with all the negative remarks you have made about Hyundai and Kia vehicles. If you think they are so bad then why do you even waste your time commenting about them? If you weren't such a 'tard you would realize the fact that when you spew so much biased hateful crap, it shows that you regard Hyundai as competition to your beloved Honda cars, etc. Yes, you are an idiot.

[xoquixxoqafxo]

The engine sounds awful in the upper revs and the tranny short shifts like crazy. Forget this car, back in 06 I would have taken the Accord anyday with 244 hp (more than the Sonata with less displacement 3.0L vs 3.3L)

[livinginthewater]

@xoquixxoqafxo You really try hard though when you sprinkle in a "nice" comment about a Korean model that nobody cares about. Then you comment on how you made a truck based Kia SUV (as big as a Chevy Tahoe) slide out and how you thought you were gonna "die" or how ever time you drive a Hyundai it makes you want to "go running to your nearest Honda dealer. " Your whole mission is an epic fail, son.

[xoquixxoqafxo]

What about you? You are pretty much like me, but instead totally faithful and biased toward Hyundai. Like I said in my channel, only Hyundai I like is the Genesis, the Sonata and Elantra are just soo ugly I'd buy a new Focus or Fusion before those models. Heck, the Kia Optima is way better looking than the Sonata but its still a Kia. Hyundai which mean low resale value over 5 years compared to Honda. I'd rather not take a huge depreciation hit when its time to trade that car in.

[livinginthewater]

@xoquixxoqafxo Don't compare me to yourself. I own a Hyundai and I like most of the new Hyundai and Kia cars, but I'm not trying to convince the world of how much better Hyundais are compared to any other cars. Compare the resale value of any new Hyundai model to any competing model and it's a wash (or such a small difference that it has no effect on total cost to own). Get your facts straight, or go apply for a job as a Honda salesman. Honda makes very good cars, and I never said otherwise.

[xoquixxoqafxo]

@livinginthewater

I am merely stating facts, and its a well known fact that Korean cars still aren't up to Japanese car standards in resale value over 5 years time. Reliability is still unknown of all these fresh new models as well. I never said I hated Hyundai or Kia, I would buy one over a Toyota any day I'm just not convinced on their long term durability and resale value, I want to know that I can still get a good return when its time to get a new car and trade the old one in.

[Solowizard]

@pcmr57,

*

The book I would most recommend for you would be;

" AUTO MACHANICS 1 ON 1 FOR DUMMIES"

[Solowizard]

Zero to 60 in 6 seconds. Not bad. I have a 2006 LX, and I murdered a 2010 Audi TT Roadster, a Porsche Boxter, a Land Rover, a 2009 Audi Sedan, a 2007 Pontiac GPX, a 2010 Toyota Camry, a Saturn Aura, a Honda Civic, and a few others. I got dusted by a Mercedes Benz, but I was just a car away. The guy couldn't believe I was able to keep up. Of course only a well tuned, well taken care of Sonata will perform this way. I only use 93 Octane with 10% ethanol gasoline and nothing put pure synthetic oil.

[pcmr57]

@Solowizard

You're wasting your money on 93 octane gasoline. The engine in that car only calls for 87 octane. Burning higher octane gas will not improve mileage one bit as the engine doesn't have the compression required for higher octane fuel. Many people make this mistake and actually cause problems with engine knock sensors.

[Solowizard]

@pcmr57, LOL! Oh Really?

YOU are wasting YOUR time telling me that none sense. I KNOW MY CAR, I KNOW HOW MY CAR RUNS, and you can't tell me any different. The manual says that 87 octane is the MINIMUM. Obviously you know nothing about octane levels and how it affects cars. My car sips gas, but has Ultra Kick Ass Performance. Sometimes I make the mistake of turning the key again when it's already in the ignition, because you can barely hear the engine running.

[pcmr57]

@Solowizard

It depends on the vehicle. MOST vehicles are designed to run on 87 octane. High performance engines with higher compression ratios run better on higher octane but the manual will clearly state as much. Hyundai Sonata's do not call for high octane.

Putting 93 octane in a car that only calls for 87 is a waste of money and you could actually damage the engine. If your manual states

[Solowizard]

@pcmr57,

I've had other cars and made the mistake of being cheap by using the lower octane gas, BUT like the old saying goes, "YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR". When I did this, my car was loud and the idle was rough. I saved money, but the gas mileage was terrible, and the performance was second string. I learned my lesson.

[pcmr57]

@Solowizard

It's not being cheap. It's being smart. Putting a fuel that requires high compression to burn it when not needed can cause engine damage. Putting 93 octane in a car designed for 87 will not make the car run better or make it go faster. That's only wishful thinking.

Sounds like your other cars actually called for higher octane and you didn't use it. That's not smart.

[lonza64]

@Solowizard The camry had to be the 4 cylinder model because the 6 cylinder model will eat sonatas all day long

[Solowizard]

@lonza64 - LOL! Yeah, I guess they must have made a mistake at the factory and placed a "V6" Emblem on that Camry. LOL,LOL! Care to try again?

[lonza64]

@Solowizard Well lets hold up a minute what model was the camry?

[m109r1800]

I have a 2005 Vue Honda v6 and a air intake,. I race my buds V6 Sonata I beat by 2 cars.

I did get the jump on him.

I think Hyundi had really turn it up. Matter of fact My son just came back from Iraq and he is going to by the new 2011 Sonata nots as fast as the V6 0-60 7.8 But the looks and the MPG and price and great. 35 on the High crazy. sick. He is going with the big 18 rims.BLack.

[m109r1800]

@m109r1800 BUY not by. were are my glasses.

I am looking to guy a used car next year Sonata would be one of the first things I look,at. I buy GM and Ford all my life and they have really let me down. SAD.

[JRELGRAN]

I had a 2007 and people couldnt believe all the other v6s I could leave lol. Ive been telling people for years not to sleep on hyundai!

[Dicklle34]

@JRELGRAN I know, they have really quick acceleration!

[bcuzofview]

I love how people are slamming hyundai for reliability. Last time I checked weren't they the only car company that offered a 10yr/100k mile warranty? That would suggest that they put some sort of faith into their cars. One of my friends has a hyundai accent that just turned over 330k miles and the only thing she has ever done is change oil and tune ups. I'm looking to purchase an 09 sonata next week and couldn't be more excited. Considering the bang for buck where can you go wrong?

[kylereece22]

That is very fast. Shit.

[magla3oon]

i timed my stock 07' sonata V6 and got 7.5 seconds..

[buickman85]

This car has very good acceleration.

[kawaisounaninhu]

TOYOTA CROWN>>>>>>hyundai Sonata

[nolimitsouldier09]

Btw you don't have to use premium gas for tls but it's recommended and I get 0-60 in 5.8 secs, but I bought my car cos I like to relax and cruise, not abusing it by racing :]

[nolimitsouldier09]

I also have a 08 tl s, it's worth the money. My personal opinion hyundai is like a generic Honda. To the person who said they'd buy a Hyundai and use the extra money on mods, you'll prolly need that money to fix your car down the road since you void your warranty with the mods and Hyundai has a bad reputation for reliability. My 2cents.

[cman2k5]

Shit is super slow! I drive an Acura TL Type-S stock and my gauges for one are absolutely gorgeous compared to this cheap shit and I do 0-60 in 5.43 secs not in almost 7!

[fsv87]

Let's see a video.

[cman2k5]

@fsv87 Don't need to post a video, just look it up it's all over Youtube already

[herky303]

@cman2k5 wow fag, who asked you

[cman2k5]

@herky303 No one did but I am wondering why people decide to put videos up of slow cars thinking they are fast

[herky303]

@cman2k5 just cuz they post a vid doesn't mean they think their cars fast. no need to be cocky man. (how the fuck did you get 5.43 anyway?)

[ArtoDelFunko]

@cman2k5 You´re the man!!

[cman2k5]

@ArtoDelFunko I know, thanks!

[Gadgettime]

@cman2k5 With the TL type S you need Premium gas to get that speed, plus it is a lot more money. You can put the money towards mods with the hyundai and make it faster than your Tl type S. I also hope they corrected the horrid transmission issues with the previous TL type S as I knew many people that blown them from regular driving.

[kylereece22]

@cman2k5 This is in MILES PER HOUR.

[palebeachbum]

Damn fast. I counted 6 sec!

[pcgeek86]

I just picked up a 2011 Hyundai Sonata Limited today :) Unfortunately, it doesn't have the same performance, or deep throaty noise of my old 2006 GLS v6 that I traded for it :( It's still a great car though! :) Go Hyundai!

[jcomm333]

Hey does your sonata have a bit of a delay when shifting form 1st to second gear????

[BFLY3]

hey i got tiptronic in my sonata to but i was wondering when you switch gears you can rev high like that in tip?

[LLCoolPass]

this a stick or auto

[BFLY3]

tiptronic

[LLCoolPass]

its either manual or automatic dude. in this case its automatic, tiptronic being some kind of tradename

[BFLY3]

what do you mean normally its auto, but you can put it into tiptronic kind of like a manual without a clutch

[LLCoolPass]

the transmission doesn't shift by manual action

[BFLY3]

yea u just use the paddle shifter

[Radwan7]

my 2.0 liter sonata can run a lot faster than this u should learn how to drive and have a look on my video response

[DontKnowMyName]

@Radwan7

lol no not really

3.3 - 6 cylinder is faster than 2.0 - 4 cylinder

[Ziralhack]

he think the vedio is 0-60Km, not mile.

[m109r1800]

@DontKnowMyName Drove both 4 is faster.

[MangoSmoothie16]

@DontKnowMyName the guy is a tool. I refuse to look at his video but I think the 2.0t could out run the 3.3 if thats the 2 liter he is talking about

[number13lucky]

hey retard your car is in kmh this is mph lol dipshit

[adidas170]

@number13lucky dumbass it's mph cause kmh goes at least to 240 kmh

[Ziralhack]

hahahaha...........u got me.

[pcmr57]

Anybody who thinks that is slow is on glue. The Sonata V6 3.3 Liter engine can hit 60 mph in just over 6 seconds. Think about that. Early 90's Mustang 5.0 Liter V8's were taking 6.2 to hit 60 mph with a manual transmission. The Sonata will also do close to 150 mph.

[Dicklle34]

@pcmr57 exactly I test drove it in 2006, its really surprizingly quick car! 3.3 L V6 that is, and its my next car!

[m109r1800]

@pcmr57 No way. I rented one. I have a 2005 Vue that killed this thing in a race.

2005 3,5 250hp 0-60 7,00

[pcmr57]

@m109r1800

You rented one what - a V6 or 4 cyl? Makes a huge difference. The Vue is fast but not as fast as the Sonata. If you raced a V6 Sonata and won really that doesn't mean anything. The other driver was probably not pushing the car. Read Car and Driver articles on the V6 Sonata - they don't lie.

[Solowizard]

@pcmr57,

I'm not sure about the newer Sonatas, but I know for certain that the 2006-2009 3.3 liter LX models and the Genesis are among the most under-rated cars today.

[pcmr57]

@Solowizard

I hear ya. I feel the 2002-2005 models were grossly underrated as well. I had a 2002 Kia Magentis (same thing as a Sonata) and my parents bought it from me and just sold it last month (June 2010) with over 125K (200Kms) and the only problem ever encountered was warping front brake routers. My cousin bought the car from them and everything works perfectly still even the AC.

[SuperWhoopass]

@pcmr57 Dude, no car from the early 90's was fast. For Christ's sake, those Fox 5.0's came stock with like 215 horsepower.

[pcmr57]

@SuperWhoopass

They still hit 60 in 6 seconds. The 92 Stealth had a 300 hp twin turbo 3.0 litre V6 and hit 60 mph in 4.8 Seconds according to Car and Driver. Cars were plenty fast in the 90s just not family cars.

[reporter00191]

@pcmr57

I got a Sonata V6 2006 it a great car for everyday use, I already got 2 Mustang with the 5.0 L, the difference was the high torque with the V8, but the Sonata is a lot better car on every side.

[wonderbread4332]

@pcmr57 yep i have two one 08 and 07 both v6 fun little cars took one to about 148

[RobertRamey89]

That's a girls car dude, that's why there slow

[Takenata]

Slow? Funny...the Impreza WRX does 0-60 in 6.2 seconds...yet everyone and their momma says it is fast (though it is.) This is not a girl's car. That is what Mitsubishi Eclipses are for lol That and who says a girl can't have a fast car!

[d3boy2002]

i've riden in both and the WRX definetly feels faster. The sonata just makes it feel really comfortable cus of the suspension. BUT it corners like a... manhole cover?

But thanks for that bit of info... I have a new respect for my moms car LOL!

[cf80to01]

Seems a teeny bit slow.... mine is 0-100kph in ~6.7sec. Nonetheless, one hell of a fast accelerating family sedan. I love my Sonata.... she surprises a lot of people off the line.

[TRELL5044]

THEY OR SMOOTH AND QUITE..

[mrsjumi]

i have a Sonata 3,3 V6 and it goes 142 mph fully loaded ( 3 adult and a trunk full of suitcases ) i just did it in Germany on my way from Denmark to Croatia. Only thing that is not 100 % is when braking hard from 120 mph its a little unstabil. otherwise its a perfect car .

[pcmr57]

I owned an 84 BMW 325 and 2004 330ix. The 84 was bulletproof for 260,000 miles.

The 2004 only had about 40K on it and cost thousands in repairs outside warranty work. I know two other 330xi owners who are disappointed with their reliability. BMW, Mercedes and especially VW are not what they were 20 years ago. Sure they look great but honestly your average Hyundai Sonata is much more reliable.

My father has a 2002 Kia Optima with 110,000 miles on it, no problems except warped rotors.

[palebeachbum]

Couldn't agree more with ya. Hyundai/Kia vehicles are the cheapest you can buy and are actually quite good now. Waste of money to buy anything comparable.

[bidmittonchamp]

is this the 3.3 or the 2.4?

[4MATICbenz]

this is the 3.3L V6. The 2.4 I4 is a good 2 sec slower 0-60 than this

[bidmittonchamp]

i just bought my sonata. its a 2.4. all i have done so far is throw a K&N in it and i am doing 0-60 in 7.8

[ShINmerZ]

Hyundais are nice cars now they're no longer the cheap disposables they once used to be. The interiors of most hyundais match up to mercedes in terms of ambiance

[4MATICbenz]

hell no ! lmao. The new genesis sedan looks great, but is definetely no S or E class, my friend. The genesis coupe looks similar to the SLK but the SLK is still crafted better. The Sonata's austere interior doesnt even compare to Benz's of the 80s. Hyundai has improved, which is great, but just because hyundai has caught up to Honda to Toyota does not mean they come close to freakin Mercedes-Benz

[thecarexpert18]

hyundai genesis is the best car hyundai's made!

[hyperkkt]

Very well-put. Although I admire recent huge steps Hyundai has made, they are still far away from German automobile companies. I just hope other small Korean auto maker (SsangYoung) will not sell information to Chinese automakers. I would not want to see Chinese automobiles in American roads... I would really not want to see that... Kung Pao and General Tso Chicken is enough :)

[godspure64baby]

How can you compare a tiburon (korean made) to a german made (most likely bmws..... lmao)

[basslover352]

not any more they are mostly assembled in alabama

[pcmr57]

I have to disagree with your comment that the Korean cars are not up to German standards. German car standards have fallen way off in the last 10-12 years.

Most German brands of autos are at the bottom of the reliability list well below Hyundai and Kia. VW is the dead last. They handle nice but the build quality has suffered. Lots of electrical issues and body pieces literally falling off them.

Not a single Mercedes is recommended by Consumer Reports but several Korean cars are.

[palebeachbum]

I agree to a point. German car quality has dropped a lot in the past 20yrs, while Hyundai/Kia quality increased incredibly. In terms of interior quality, the German cars are still better, but you're also talking 2-3x the price. In terms of reliability, I think they are roughly the same these days. I've heard Mercedes is having tons of problems. My Kia only has 38k miles and has already had a few minor issues, but nothing that would keep me from buying another when my current one dies of old age.

[SlurpSilencer]

Yeah, I agree. Suggest someone who wants to suicide to buy China dog-shit cars.

[theemceemurdah]

racist prick.

[SlurpSilencer]

have u seen the crash tests of those china made cars?  huh??

[jnnycliff]

It's Korea car not china.

[SlurpSilencer]

i'm talking about china cars

[asuradagyu]

i agree:D cheap and still could be compared to more expensive cars

[JeepCherokeeKid]

new genisis coupe 2.0 turbo rwd 6spd for19000

[KJBPj]

My 02' 2.7 with basic mods-C.A.I-TRUE DUALS- UNICHIP PIGGYBACK WILL PUSH PAST 140,142TO BE EXACT.I ,and other have had our 05' and later v6 sonatas past 150.Sorry,it is just fact.

[pokeeto2]

I actually enjoyed an 08 Limited I rented. Awesome XM Infinity Stereo, Interior Quality, Ride, & Acceleration. The only thing that bothered me was how terrible the engine rattled for 5 seconds after a few hours off or a cold start. & it had clean oil & only had 19k.

Also Rented an Azera which was even better.. With it's 3.8, it didn't make the noises.

Maybe that Sonata I drove had premature issues. But hyundai will go far. I seriously want to try out the V8 Genesis.

[redhotrunner5188]

i have an 06. i can assure you it is governed at 139mph. ive tapped it a few times racing my friends WRX dont lie if you dont have one/

[Hassan7mideast]

um it doesnt have a governer, car and driver got 147 mph top speed and most owners have gotten a little over 150 mph

[redhotrunner5188]

is yours from the USA? the ones in the US are governed with a fuel cut off at 139.

car and driver had found an article about a sonata being trapped at 147 in a speed zone. if you read the article they realized that the cameras sensor was off by eight miles an hour. causing the difference. call hyundai if you dont believe me.

[pcmr57]

I don't know where you read that but I have a 2006 car and driver article comparing the Sonata to a Fusion, Camry and Accord and the top speed is 146 mph.

There is a 2009 article out now that also shows the top speed as 146 mph.

Get your facts straight.

[KJBPj]

Then my odometer must be off,because according to my SPEEDOMETER ,I HAVE BEEN JUST PAST 150 IN MY 07'. SO WHAT GIVES HERE?AND I LIVE IN ST LOUIS.

[mujjuman]

nice!

[pcmr57]

What planet do you live on?? A mazda 6 is faster?? Check Car and Driver 0-60 times and you'll see the Hyundai is faster to 60 and it has a higher top end of over 145 mph. The Mazda tops out around 131. Do your research before claiming such nonsense on the Internet. The Mazda does handle better, I'll give it that.

[mad12guitarist]

actually people have reported the hyundai hitting 153. look on wikipedia

[ztc347]

wikipedia is a non reliable resource, and the sonata is government limited to 140 mph

[mad12guitarist]

not to sure about 140.. ive seen it myself

[fordforme]

The Sonata does NOT have a governor. It can easily do 150. Research it.

[maxxikiller]

Not bad...

[SCTR9SPY]

haha for real!

Parts are probably falling off as its accelerating...remember its a Hyundai

[ctxspy]

i dunno...i have an 07, nothing has fallen off yet. I've had it for around a year and a half, so far it's held up better than my 04 impreza which i sold after two years because i couldn't stand the horrible stick on it.

[mazda6tuner99]

mazda6 is faster, 5secs XD

[DarrenCax]

Considering this is stock, and practically every other Mazda6 video I've seen (including some modded ones) is 0-60 in 6 to 7 seconds, I wouldn't go around bragging.

[mazda6tuner99]

well mine is one of a kind, 5 seconds with a good launch.

[ctxspy]

I'm sure your parents are very proud of you for that.

[blondetrumpetboy]

Hyundai has shown a lot of improvement since they first introduced their cars.

[kjh081]

hey if you stuck the car manually on each gear for a little longer, couldn't you cut the time by at least a half a second more or so?

[UInACrash]

That's pretty quick for getting 20 mpg. My sister has the last generation one with the 2.7 v6 and gets 20-24 mpg city driving. These cars should be scaring Honda and Toyota because they are kicking ass and taking THEIR NAMES.

[capricorn7086]

i don't think hyundai would be taking toyota and honda's names anytime soon, honda and toyota make a lot more money than hyundai does because honda and toyotas are the longest lasting cars they have, hyundai's on the other hand are shit to me!!

[UInACrash]

Times have changed IMO. This is coming from a Toyota guy. I don't think they are at the big stage yet but I do think they are extremely close. If they can get the safety ratings up I honestly cant picture myself driving a Toyota anymore. Why spent more money when you can get the same thing with money on the hood.

[ctxspy]

You realize people said the same thing about honda and toyota less than 20 years ago right?  I'm not a hyundai fanboy, but they are certainly nice cars. I cross-shopped the accord and camry and this is what I chose. I think it had the classiest interior and for the price it had nicer equipment.

[jimmydean91]

My Sonata V6 is stock besides at k&n air filter, and at 75 mph I was getting exactly 30.0 mpg according to the trip computer. the whole trip I got 31.0, only 35 miles of 75 mph, the other 105 miles were at 60.

I average 25-27, not bad for the power at my disposal.

[a96probegt]

I don't think they make Manual V6 Sonata any more... It is a shames... nice Power... The Hyundai Genesis Coupe will dominate the Infinity G37 next year! 300 HP coupe for 26k!

I have a 04' XG350, not that fast but fuel efficient and very comfortble. I have get 29 mpg on long trips.

[rodneychapman912]

Pshhh i dout the Genesis will out run a G37 300hp Genesis<330 hp G37 plus it's always gonna be a hyundai

[fordforme]

Hey, retard, the Genesis has a 375 hp V8. 0-60 in 5.4.

[supermariodrums]

i would like to put my caddy off the line with one of these...it would be close. very nice...any mods??

[SEV64GeCliPsE]

it's stock

[dominateuff]

Is that a maunal sonata or is it in the shiftronic mode of auto? cuz i think the automatics are slower

[jimmydean91]

Automatic, with a sport mode. 5 speed

[SEV64GeCliPsE]

its shiftronic.  I haven't drove manual but i think they r about the same.

[downhiller88]

v6 models dont come with manual only 4cylinders do come with manual mode

[pimpmaster2021]

What kinda gas mileage do they get?

[Ziralhack]

19 city 29 hwy

[pimpmaster2021]

Cool thanks thats not bad for as quick as they are

[lelemurien]

Maaaan!!! Use the damn gears. Evereybody can see the car is not at its max!!! Can do better!

[carfanPhil]

Gotta love those 3.3's... and they sound soo good!

[cashmunny]

You should shift at higher rpm.. 6100-6200 ish will make it a bit faster.

[mycarfast]

You can't shift at higher rpm.

The ecu won't let the motor spin above 6000 rpm, no matter how you try.

[cashmunny]

Odd. My Sonata let's me.

[mycarfast]

My 08 Sonata, I just tried manual auto 0-60 for the first time. Leaving shifter on manual mode and slam on gas pedal really works. Car moves much faster. Was doing 80 MPH on third gear. Scared me off little bit.

I think I saw up to 6200 RPM. Do you think it's OK to race like that? I'm worry what if that ruins my tranny.

[coorsbeer93]

wait till you see the 2009 Sonata!

[marinespilot6206]

i just got the 09 sonata....best car in the luxury cars!!!!

[mikee9913]

The newer Sonatas ARE really fast...right off the factory floor! read this news story abt a Phoenix guy hauling ass in a Sonata...go to google type : " Hyundai Sonata 147 Phoenix "

It's actually faster than you claim. Your 0-60 time was 6.37 seconds. This is the average of five stopwatch timings: 6.31, 6.40, 6.35, 6.37, and 6.42.

Each time, I started the stopwatch just as the needle twitched from Zero, and ended just as the needle leveled at 60.

Seeing the LED read 1,2,3 as the transmission upshifts tells me you had it in Shiftronic mode.

4 cylinder isnt top of the line

[i2455]

Bought a 2008 top of the line Sonata..leather, sound system with sub woofer etc.I chose the four cylinder engine 162 hp plenty of power to move this car. What surprised me about the car was the top of the line Micheline tires on it ...not some no name off brand tires.

[devin6687]

are you kidding me? the stock tires on the Sonata suck. They're overpriced, squeal easily, generate lots of noise, and they're garbage in the rain. Just because they're Michelin doesn't mean they're good.

[mycarfast]

Agree! I had 06 Sonata with stock Michelline tires are junks. They are worse in the wet road. On my 08 Sonata, I put Prelli tires insted. Kumhos are good too and still half price of Michellines.

my mom has a 06 sonata

that thing gets up

surprised the shit outta me when i found out that it has a 10.1:1 compression ratio

i found it to be a little quicker to accelerate with it in drive compared to tiptronics...car would rev to redline but hesitate to shift meaning it would take about a second to hit the next gear

but that 3.3 liter 235 hp family sedan got some balls no doubt

[roguagent71]

i just got a v6 one and was amazed at the power it had.

[punn04]

Hey Mom Drive one they are fast the one she test drove was a 2008 sonata with the V6 nice horse power

[cashmunny]

Nice.. I just got an 06 V6 Sonata LX used for a really good price. I'm thinking about doing some aftermarket stuff to it. I heard they make really good aftermarket exhausts and sway bars but other than that I dont know what to do to it mechanically.

[autokritiker]

Were you accelerating with the transmission in Drive, or were you manually shifting using Shiftronic?

Do you find that either mode provides quicker acceleration?

I noticed in both 1st and 2nd gears the tachometer only reached about 5,800/5,900 RPM before shifting.

Seems to be shifting a bit early, since peak horsepower is at 6,000 RPM.

[WoZIMoo]

Sorry, I made a typo, It was another video. LOL

[WoZIMoo]

Strange, you have a sonata with gauges in kph and another one in mph.

[devin6687]

what's the fastest you've ever gone?

[Ziralhack]

about 6.5 is the fastest. With automatic transmission I cannot find the good timing to change gear.

[SONATALX]

60mph at second gear?

You better make it at 3rd gear.

It will make it faster.

[autokritiker]

Sonatas are great cars. I rented a V6 Sonata a couple months ago, and will be buying a used 06 or 07 within the next few months. I agree, you should post a 0 to 100 run, or faster if you can manage it safely.

[Djonemore]

Make another vid make it go to 100 or something, but I have a 07 sonata Limited V6 and yeah they are fast cars!
