| Description of the problem | The sonata hybrid has a major flaw and it's the gas mileage. I was told i would get at least 45 mpg with sensible driving and that was a lie. On cold damp morning and after a cold fog there would be condensation all over the front and back windshields to the point where water droplets would run onto the dashboards and back seats. Also the car has a safety issue with the low beam head lights at night especially in the country. At 50 mph you out run your head lights and can't see far enough ahead of you to stop in time if something runs across in front of you. |
