thats right hyundai like sunday

my almost ten year old suv gets 20 mpg around town, 25 mpg highway if i stay around 65 miles per hour.  and thats way more than what it is rated for.  you just have to drive smart to get better than sticker mpg.  and its actually pretty damn good for a suv its size with its power.  it would be nice if i could find something that would double those numbers.  one of the best options out right now is the hyundai sonata.  i rented one for a week a few months ago.  when i drove all highway at 65 miles per hour i was getting 42 mpg, which is 7 higher than it is rated for.  for the week in mixed driving i got about 35 mpg which is incredible for a car its size.  the sonata is almost as big as my suv.  it is also very nice inside, drives and rides comfortably, and is all around a nearly perfect car.  a stronger engined turbo version is now out, which gets a little less mpg.  and a hybrid version is coming out soon which will get a little better mpg than the regular version.  a base model sonata can be had for around $18,000, which is an absolute steal for this car.  i just wish it was a little bit smaller.
