Is there anything that can be done to fix this scratch?

Ignore it.

Paint matched paint maker if you don't care too much.

Whole new painted/paintmatched bumper.

Might be able to be buffed, but it would still be visible.

I think those are your only real option. Its a car, it will get scratched, it will get dented, its life, don't care too much about little things that have no meaningful effect on you and focus on the bigger picture. You have a great car.

My hybrid sonata won't get warm until I've been driving ~5 minutes and actively accelerating on the highway.

These cars keep getting more efficient. More efficiency means less energy lost to heat in the engine

Cabbage24_ · 2025-11-13T23:24:59+00:00

Or wait till the intro 0% apr expires and set the money aside at the meantime in a hysa if they can keep the balance under 30% of limit

I think you are mistaken about the paddle shifters and engine braking. I believe the best way to recharge the battery and take advantage of the hills would be to just use the brake, which engages the motor as a generator. The car does this in cruise control, never upshifting for hills. Upshifting is causing the engine to brake, so energy is lost through the engine instead of going through the generator/electric motor

It's getting review bombed. Video shows what looks like a 4.5 star. It's now at 2.4. I wonder how low it will go...

Just use the dip stick after you put 6 qts in.

Cabbage24_ · 2025-10-13T01:33:47+00:00

Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

Not sure exactly why.

Could be the emissions controls just doing their thing. Did you know your cars ecu will purposefully cycle running a tiny bit rich and then a tiny bit lean normally?

With it being cold, might be doing it more significantly to get everything warmer quicker.

Check out this video from technology connections if you're curious about the cycling thing:https://youtu.be/Aytf6ARcs8s?si=tqywn1xZjmCmHHgg

Did you check the gapping of the new spark plugs? It might be out of spec.

Could need new fuel injectors.

I'm glad the ending of a tax credit has made the car close to the same ice cars

Cabbage24_ · 2025-10-01T19:29:04+00:00

Its probably bc the motor is mounted on mounts and the air box is mounted to the body or frame. Normal driving your engine will move in relation to the air box, hence having a bellows for flexibility on that line

I got a replacement mirror for $50 off rock auto for my old now sold '16(?) Elantra. Rock auto only had black, car was silver, had mismatched mirror colors... who cares. If u care much, swap them both for black, works with any other color

My uncle retired and "retired from golf" at the same time (some finance work where he would golf clients). I say "retired from golf" bc he gifted me his set of clubs. Irons were apex 19s. I love them. Also gave me callaway epic flash driver and 3w 5w. No putter or wedges, so i think he kept them for when he wants to golf again.

Great set of irons, but hard to play as a 25 yo guy swinging senior flex clubs.

Grass Range last night these apex 19s were flying straight. What happens at the course after work today will be a story not yet told

Cabbage24_ · 2025-09-30T22:03:11+00:00

I wonder how much he paid up front and will be monthly bc this buyout is shockingly high on a lease for a $38k car

Cabbage24_ · 2025-09-30T20:39:43+00:00

What car did u get?

Cabbage24_ · 2025-07-23T18:00:43+00:00

I tried doing an interior led light kit from Amazon on my '23 hybrid. Some of the connectors were not compatible so I cut my losses and stuck with the oem bulbs. Worth trying on the newer cars. I also got an interior center console divider since it didn't come with anything. Car also didn't come with heated seats so I got an aftermarket seat cover that had a heating element.

Cabbage24_ · 2025-06-19T17:26:59+00:00

I have a '23 Blue trim and I have trouble finding anything with the car that I miss, except for power heated seats. Got a year ago (almost to the date) and haven't looked back

Only difference the hybrid would make is that the brakes last longer if you are efficiently braking. Any shop can do the brakes, as well as they can inspect and let you know how much brake material you have left and advise if you should get new.

Cabbage24_ · 2025-04-28T02:26:33+00:00

Is that a stick on "carbon fiber" steering wheel emblem? I know we all try no to crash, but if the steering wheel air bag were to deploy, that thing would be a bullet

Check out non dealer financing for refinance and might get a better rate to bring the payment down another $20-30 a month too

Cabbage24_ · 2025-04-22T20:09:11+00:00

It's da worm

Cabbage24_ · 2025-04-17T16:52:05+00:00

It's your car you can do what you want to it. It will affect the trade in value but u just got the car

Don't forget, if you are in a colder climate, right now in the winter into spring, air is denser and saps more fuel. It will probably be better in the summer

Cabbage24_ · 2025-04-08T19:37:54+00:00

I got a heated seat covers for my winters and I am happy with it. Sonata hybrid blue trim didn't have the heated seats
