if I find that the low-profile tires do ride rougher and noisier, can I change them (at my cost) to 17" "normal" tires without damage to the car or the wheels?

No. Since a higher profile tire would affect the tire diameter, you would have to go down to 16" wheels.
You shouldn't have to pay a penny. Many ask the dealer for an upgrade to the pretty but rough-riding 17's, so there should be a surplus of the 16's. Don't let them try to tell you otherwise.
Am afraid to buy the LX since it gives me the neck pain.
Just learned that the headrest adjusts forward and back, not just up and down.
But have not been able to find out how far back it goes.
I sit straight against the back of the seat, so the headrest should be just barely over the back.
The dealer said I should turn the headrest around.
And my husband said just take the headrest off and not have one.
I'm getting really irritated with this kind of help!
Need you all again.

The head rest adjustment has 3 Positions. To adjust lift the head rest a little (make it easier to adjust). Put one hand on each side of the head rest, then tilt it forward or backward into one of the 3 positions and let go... it clicks when you tilt it forward or backward.
The dealer said I should turn the headrest around.
I don't think he knows what he is talking about!
Did you change your's or was the factory default fine?
Thanks,

I would say there is 3" difference at the most between Far back and front.
I think it comes with far back set.
However, the top of the Head Rest curves forward ) .
I am not that tall, and all positions are comfortable to me.
It is very easy to test all positions to see: just tilt it to the desired level and try it.
Sit in the back seat and play with it, to get familiar with it and set all positions... all it takes in that position is a light push with the thumb on each side to advance it to the next level!
To reset it, all you have to do is tilt it all the way to the front and let go... it will go far back.
Turn them around, or take them off, who would even think to suggest that, as it can cause serious injury. My 1986 Dodge Colt came with these same type of adjustable headrests, all cars should feature this!.
I find the Sonata to offer total comfort. If only the memory seat and side mirror setting was offered, as in the Azera
I think it is wind I am hearing through the door.
Didn't feel anything, just the sound.
How do I check if the door is leaking or is this a typical sound at 55 mph?
Thanks,

My wife told me that she felt there is some vibration when
she drives on the Houston tollway Beltway 8 (I guess that the road is not very flat with some slight bumps or somthing). Is it normal for a new car? Thanks
My driver door is now "buzzing" after only 800 miles on the car. It seems to be coming from the top left portion of the door near the frame (from inside looking at door). I wouldn't expect any wiring to be at this location but even with a firm pressing I can't completely eliminate the rattle. Any suggestions?
I would hate to have the dealership take the door apart and screw up something else. It's making me crazy so I guess I'll have to have them fiddle with it.

I have a future in design don't I?
Hyundai dealer we bought from, he said that it might take a couple of weeks to make the car break-in. We might wait and see. Next month after I am back, I will take a drive to see what it happenes.
My car had this problem recently (it is a V6) and had 80000 miles on it. The dealer charged me to fix the problem, I only found out months later about the recall. Now I am fighting with them to refund me for the repairs.
Has anyone else had this problem? I took it to the dealer a number of times and am told that there has been no recall for this problem.
Am taking in for wet/dry compression test.
Sorry 'bout that, got your specs.
Mine was manufactured 11/05/04.

I had a car for 11 years, and except for 5-6 tanks of bad gasoline, it ran silky smooth. The first time it started running rough, we thought it was something serious. By the 3rd episode, we finally caught on. The last couple of times my wife would say "I got some bad gas again!". It always cleared up when we ran the tank empty and got gas from a trusted station. YMMV, of course!
Please tell me what is bad gas.
Please tell me what is bad gas.
Gas is stored Underground in big metallic tanks... as they age they are prone to collect more dirt/rust and specially Water (mostly from condensation), which mixes with gaso;ine and then goes in your car!
I always try to stay away from old gas stations... it is easy to tell which one is old and wich one is new/newer.
The station brand is really not that important... very busy stations are usually better; because they refill their gasoline almost daily!
But,,, that may not be your problem. However, it needs to be ruled out.
I just came from the dealership and they give me a
filter cartridge and 2 "O" rings. I haven't seen a
cartridge oil change since my old John Deere tractor.
Are there people in the 21 century?
Maybe not. Someone over on BITOG (an oil forum - yeah, there are oil nutz who periodically slip away from the "farm" and masquerade as normal people on BITOG) posted within the last week that Purolator now has a cartridge filter out for the new Hyundai Lambda V6 engine family. He said he got his - a "PureONE" premium design - for ~$5.00 at Pep Boys. If this is true (I haven't checked) Purolator's standard "Premium PLUS" line's version would probably come in around $3.50.
People are buying the Pure filter. I guess Pure didn't update their web site.
