    this is what i'm talking about. buti pa yung mga korean car mas maganda yung feel ng interior materials.

    The lighter gray-shaded bottom half is a bit more problematic because the dirt and mud shows off better

    car companies have to cut corners somewhere to keep the price down, lalo na sa inexpensive to mid-priced cars, and the interior seems to be the most obvious area. i would rather have them spend less money sa interior than compromising the cars performance and safety.

    With the 06 3.3L Sonata, safety rating is now 5 stars and hp is 235hp with performance (0-60mph in the upper 6 sec), up from 3-4 stars, 172hp, (0-60mph in the mid 8's) of the 05 2.7L Sonata. Kind of hard to see where they compromised. Of course, the price also went up a bit. But, not much more. The interior could be better. But, better means moving up to cars $10k more. So, yep. I'm quite happy with this 06 Sonata.

    hey pekto, i hope you didn't think my previous comment was aimed at you and your car. i was talking about the car industry in general. if you read any car reviews lately, they would rave about the cars' safety and performance then nitpick about the interiors.

    pangit tingnan ang dashboard na shiny. looks cheap and luma and parang sapatos na nilagyan ng kiwi (IMO). Thats why brand new cars have flat color dash to prevent reflections during daytime especially when under the sun. Naka ka distracts kase glaring ang dating. Thats why I don't use armor-all (glossy) on the dash. Okay pa ung semi gloss lang pero once in a while lang pag gamit para maintain lang original look na medyo flat.

    Yup... love my new "dull" gray dashboard on the Lynx (new? I must be delirious!)... it doesn't look like much, but the material is soft and nice to the touch, and it doesn't reflect at all in the daylight.

    The nice and airy interior of my old Sentra Exalta had a light beige dashboard that was horrid to drive with during sunny days, as you could hardly see anything beyond the reflection of the dashboard.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    actually bro, in most cases mas mura ang EO kesa AA hehe... The old EO Concours was really really good for matte finish but wala na sa market... You can try Park Square True Value kung meron pa sila, it comes in a black gallon jug (like vinegar jugs)...
