I already mentioned earlier here about favoring the 4-cyl Camry over the 4-cyl Mazda 6. But, if we moved to RP, I'd buy the 3.3L V6 Sonata all over again.
sorry, :offtopic: reply to :offtopic: post

How i wish we're back in the Philippines, but no, it's here in Nevada and the 2007 3.3 V6 Sonata SE indeed got a lot of pep though i haven't pushed it real hard yet. Already logged almost 1,100 miles in about 3 weeks since we got it and so far we're very happy with it's performance.

And for only $16,900 (i.e. rounded-off) + TTL & Doc fee, the price was a steal as compared to the well equipped Corolla S at a net price of $17,400 + TTL & Doc fee. As for the mileage, we are now on our 4th fill-up and with a 60/40 city/hiway daily route, initial consumption has been steadily improving from about 21.5 mpg to currently about 23.0 mpg (i.e. about 10 km/l):2thumbsup:
