According to the brochure, it's standard on all models.
I would love to post pics, but I don't know how to attach pictures.
I got an offer for Accord Auto LX-P as follows in Chicago (7.25 % tax):
Sale Price: $19,237
Out The Door Price: $21,179
The offer on 2011 Sonata GLS Auto Pep02 OTD was 20900.
More confused now!!! (~279 between accord and sonata, both 4 cylinder)
When you are inside the car, you hardly see outside from the rear seat. Be aware of possible claustrophobia syndrom
On the official Hyundai websites in Korea, the sticker price is very attractive.

I certainly wouldn't let these tires be the deal-breaker if you like the car. I have 15" tires on my Toyota Solara, and now 17" on the Sonata Limited, and if I need new ones, yes, the larger diameter tires will cost more, but the joy of having this car more than makes up for the little extra I will spend on tires. In normal use, you won't be replacing the tires all that often. Enjoy getting the car you want. There's nothing inherently wrong with the tires on these cars.
Lost lots of goodies but got better seat, ride & handling (that is what i felt).
Also looking for a another one too, I will pick Elantra or 2010 Sonata (if i got a deal)
That's why 17" is my limit. If I end up buying a new Sonata SE, I'll trade away the beautiful 18's for more utilitarian 17's. I'm sure the dealer would be glad to take them off my hands.
But Good Luck with your Honda. It's what makes you happy that really counts, not looks ,performance,or price.
Nice color for an old man of 65.
What color interior is yours?
The only improvement in a larger tire was the skidpad and a little better braking.
0-60 times 7.6 sec with a 15 inch rim weight =40lb
7.9 sec with the 19 inch rim weight =54lb
So 0-60 times are worse with a larger wheel.
MPG got much worse
1/4 mile time worse
noise worse
ride worse
replacement cost much worse
But hey, they sure look good......lol
16 or 17 inch wheels seem to be the best trade off between performance and economy.
I was attracted to drive the SE initially simply on looks. Even with my lack of expert knowledge, I felt a big difference between the SE & the Limited. I bought the SE.
Probably helped a lot that my test driving them was on Jersey roads with the infamous circle intersections
The SE was MUCH better on the turns, while the Ltd was a bit smoother.
Hubby only test drove the Ltd. After we picked up the SE, he also immediately noticed a difference in handling the curves.
Good luck to all,
FYI, this is my second Hyundai and I've never had either in the shop. However, it's nice to have the warranty as a security blanket.
Me? I prefer good cupholders, but I understand why some people wouldn't be all that excited about them.

I find the interior just fine for what I paid. The leather in my car is quite nice, although I prefer perforated not smooth, and the other interior touches are fine. To each his own is still a saying for a very good reason. By all means, go pay more.

Good luck to all,
Sonatas have been among the most reliable cars since 2005.
I have an 06, and it had 1 minor recall and 1 major TSB, both fixed with no problems. I have still not spent a penny on the car.
I got into car 1st and a minute or two later wife gets in car. We both have our phones on and in the car. About an hour into the trip my wife's phone rings. She waits a couple rings to see if car will pick it up. No...XM radio keeps playing. She answers phone and takes the call. After the call I go into phone settings and check pairing. Both phones are there and contacts for both are correctly listed. My phone is listed as number 1 and hers as number 2. I assume this is because I got into car first.
My question is since both phones are listed and paired to system why didn't it go through car? Will it only recognize the 1st listed phone?
I moved her phone to the top of the list and made calls from it through the car. Same with mine.
On a side note we averaged 37.1 mpg for the entire trip. Including about 5% city driving. Very Impressed...
If your wife uses the car without you and your phone inside, it will pick up her calls.
