    My 2006 Hyundai Sonata runs like new at 190,000 miles (305,775 km). Granted, the suspension on the right passenger side had some weakened parts a few years after we hit a deer head-on at 60 mph. If we hadn't hit the deer, they'd probably still be original. The first engine component to have serious problems was a leaky power steering assembly shortly before the car hit 190,000 miles. It turned out, only the rubber seals were bad.

    The 3.3L V6 will happily go to its top power band although I limit the car to 100 mph because I'm not sure what other parts were weakened by that deer hit. The Lambda V6 is a very durable engine.

    I bought the car in 2005. It's over 11 years old and full of dents and scratches. It also gets washed/waxed once a year (maybe). Upon returning here to Arizona, a lot of drivers disrespected me at first by speeding up and cutting me off. Perhaps, it was my New York license plates. Perhaps, it was the "old Hyundai junker" perception. But, I had had enough of their behavior. The next time I saw these same drivers on the way to work, I was ready for them. When they tried to do the same stunt, all they saw were tail lights pulling away. They had to settle for cutting off the car behind me.

    Now? It's a nice easy drive to work because these former assholes now drive decently. They definitely notice my car. I know it's the car because when I drive my wife's car, they pull the same stunt. Of course, it's an 8-second car and nowhere as quick as my Sonata. I just let em go.
