Default My new 2011 Sonata Limited

Hello all

I received my 2011 Sonata Limited a week ago and love it. Unbeatable value with a comfortable ride. Handles very well.

I have been driving Honda Accords and Civics since 2004. The styling on the new Sonata is awesome. The first day I drove it home from work a guy on a Harley was behind me and then pulled up side me looking it over. I looked over at him and he gave the OK gesture...never had any car that I owned have that kind of response on the open road

The Sonata has the potential to give nearly the same highway gas mileage as my Civic with over 40% more horsepower

I initially thought I would go for the SE as I really liked the sportier look with the dual exhaust, but I did not like the seating with leather only bolsters with cloth inserts, as well as the lack of heated seats...so I went with the Limited.

Anyone been able to find a website with aftermarket accessories for the new Sonata ? I am looking for all weather floor mats.

Here are a couple of pics

Gorgeous. Not a fan of the color coz I drive a 2006 civic that's very similar to that color so I'm kind of sick of it but boy, that is a handsome car. Congrats!

I also have a silver Civic, a 2 door coupe with black leather....2008. I find the silver easy to not show dirt and on the Sonata looks very elegant.

To each his own on color preference.

I have enjoyed it so far...only had it 2 weeks tomorrow. I am anxious to take it on a road trip.

One thing I am a bit disappointed in is the radio. It is supposed to have 360 watts with a sub, but it very weak on the bass. My Civic with 350 watts and sub has alot more punch to it in the bass department. I do not see a separate control on the subwoofer as the Civic does to help bring it out...only a 3 section tone control, and a 3 preset equallizer that really doesnt change anything to my ears.

Awesome car. I have the same color combo. I would think the sub would be an easy upgrade.

Do you happen to use an iPhone with yours? I can't get my iPhone to work with my Limited but my iPod I have does work.

Default We just got our 2011 Limited

My wife just picked hers up yesterday in the Camel exterior with camel interior also. Pics hopefully attached. These sure are beautiful cars! She is loving the Nav interface for her iPod and the voice-activated commands for her phone. Awesome power for a four cylinder.

She is so thrilled I thought I would share the joy and join this forum.

Love the camel color interior. Much better than the wine color interior.

It actually does have the subwoofer in the rear deck and I can hear it...just doesnt have the punch I would expect for 360 watts

No I do not use an iPhone...sorry
