Hello HyundaiForum!
After test driving many cars, I ended up leasing a 2011 Sonata Limited 2.0T, Camel Pearl exterior, Camel Leather interior. So far, I really like the car. 275 hp and 33 MPG highway along with a very comfortable driver's seat work for me! As you might have guessed, I am a bit of a road warrior...
For all those wondering - 4/9/2011 build date, NO LEFT PULL ISSUE (at least for now)!
UPDATE on 9/8/2011: I recently completed my first tire rotation on the car. Sadly, I must now report that the car definitely has a left pull. I've tested the bejeezus out of this trying to prove to myself that it is just road crown, wind, etc. However, I am now sure it has a left pull. Ironically, I just received my "Important Service Campaign" letter - guess I'll be taking it in.
I worked in the auto industry for 14 years as a powertrain component and calibration engineer, so hopefully I can offer some insight on some car stuff along the way. I'm currently working on the design and development of diesel engines for railroad locomotives - quite a different world from auto.
Anyway, glad to be on board!
