Ok, so heres the situation. My mom wrecked my ralliart last night at 10 p.m. (the car is TOTALLLLLLLLLLED, ill get some good pics up of the car) she's fine so dont worry about it. But he's looking at buying a hyundai sonata instead of the ralliart. What things about the ralliart do you think i could use to convince my dad to buy one. (for seriuos). they have the same warranty. Ralliart is a littttttle cheaper. Gas mileage is about 1-2mpg better. Anything else?

Dude, you mom totalled the car and she's fine. I think it's pretty clear the car is safe.

NO, NO... NO, NO, NO, NO... NO,NO,NO,NO...

Don't say that to your dad. You'll end up with a sonata.

that all depends on how cool your dad is though..

^ and please use 'with' rather than 'in'.

rallioveru

True.

Sonata = Camry = Accord.........its a big car...I'm not sure if you want it....

That's reason enough.

True, safety is what most parents look for when buying their children something, especially a car.

a hyundai isnt as reliable. she totalled a ralliart so u want it replaced with a ralliart. you can work on the RA. its your favorite car. oh and:

You could always buy your own? From what you've said i'm gonna assume they bought you the car but everyone uses it.

Tell your dad to look into the resale value of the Sonata. That will scare him from buying that crap.

I wouldn't quite call any Hyundai crap anymore. Give them another year or two and they will have the large market share if they keep up the good work.

The sonata is more of a midsize family car. It will be more comfortable to drive but more difficult to work on, and I'm not just talking about aftermarket parts. The RA is obviously safe, and I believe the '06's come standard with side airbags, even safer. It's more fun to drive, but less roomy. Overall I would think you should tell him to consider who the primary driver is. If it's you, then he should listen to why you want it. If it's a whole family car I would say this is going to not go your way, unless your dad races around all the time.

good luck.

ugh. ya the whole getting laid thing wont go my way
i got a cool dad. but he aint that cool.

And i cant really brag about the safety issue cause sonata has higher crash test ratings ect.

And my dad got me the car as a christmas present this year, but it actually came like mid january, so it was like belated w/e. ya but i pay all the aftermarket w/ my own money. he doesnt want me to do ne of that "crap". I like it h ough. I can almost beat my friend in an eclipse GST (99 model) in the quarter mile (on a track of course , no street racing)

n e one got any other ideas to help me get hopefully a new ralliart.
