cars

When I was in Louisiana, I rented a car. The company gave me one of these...

It was a 2011 or 2012 Hyundai Sonata. I was actually really impressed with the vehicle.
At home, I drive an Acura TSX. But, the Sonata was actually a nice car to drive. Roomy and spacious, with a ton of little nooks and crannies to store things in the dash (those kinds of things are important for women). A huge trunk, so my luggage fit in it no problem. Great handling. Easy to park, with a tighter turning radius than my Acura, despite the fact that it was a larger (and longer) vehicle.

I don't necessarily want to get rid of my Acura anytime soon. I just bought it 1 1/2 years ago. But, I did hear that Hyundai has now come out with a Sonata Hybrid. One of the things I need to consider in the next couple of years, is my commute to work. With the amount I drive now, I may have to consider a hybrid soon. And while in the past I would have only looked at the Toyota hybrids... well now, I may look at a Hyundai.
