What is it with me and the Koreans, I mean Samsung, LG and then Hyundai. Loved the Samsung 19" monitor, 50-50 on the LG Chocolate and the EnV Touch cell phone & finally the Sonata. 'Nuff said.
Became the happy owner of a 2009 Sonata last night. Got a good deal and couldn't resist. After all, the research did come in handy.
But again, with strict instructions from wifey, "Maharani" is only allowed out when "Rani" is not available for use. (Maharani = Sonata, Rani = Corolla).
The Sonata is actually bigger than I thought it would be. Quite a comfortable ride and per the manufacturer, great on great mileage (like I would buy one without a decent return on a gallon of gas). I am also pleased with the 5-star safety rating and the 6-standard airbags and of course, the looks.
Soon enough, by the looks of it and the general trend that I am following, I am going to be in with the Koreans and out with the Japanese. There was a time in 2006, I was sure I was going to buy a Toyota Camry (but then again which Desi wasn't). With the Sonata's rating and the recent flurry of recalls from the Japanese giant, my decision was a no-brainer. Fit the budget and the need. Soon enough, Rani would be off to sleep and Maharani would have to take the lead.
Went to the temple and had the Car Pooja done this morning. Money well spent on the Pooja.
With that out of the way, the only thing left now is to pack up from here and move out to our own apartment. Heavy lifting coming up next week. Till next time, have fun.
