Car Hunting
Categories: Personal
Due to recent events which I will detail later, Sarah and I are considering getting a new car. With the baby on the way, we're thinking family sedan -- something with some room and good safety features. We've narrowed it down to a Hyundai Sonata or a Toyota Camry. There is also a pretty good chance we won't get a new car at all right now. We've driven both. I think the Sonta rides a little better; it's quieter and has better acceleration. The Camry has a little better fit and finish, tighter steering, and two more airbags (it has knee airbags in the front!). The Sonata also has a better warranty, a bigger trunk, and lists for about $1500 less. Everyone knows what you get with the Camry, but the Sonata gets good marks from Edmunds and Consumer Reports says decent things about the newer models.
Sarah and I will reach a decision tonight, I think. If I HAD to get one right this minute, I'd probably go with the Hyundai. But like I said, there is a pretty good chance we won't get a new car right now at all.
