My wife is currently driving an '06 Sonata. It has been a great car. We bought it new maintained it well, has almost 160,000 miles on it and still runs great. I just started thinking about a new car for her. I've considered another Hyundai, but like the looks of the Chevy Impala, and Equinox. Anyone have any experience with either of them? She's on the road without me from time to time going to see the grandkids, and I've begun to worry about the Hyundai on the road so much.

I understand about the frozen pipes. I helped my nephew fix a burst pipe in his house just yesterday. I was the site plumber when I retired from DuPont's Spruance plant in 2014. For whatever reason, they could never remember that water froze at 32 degrees f. I made a TON of money in overtime because of it. The funniest incident was a very young, very new manager who called about a plugged pipe. It was a drain from a modular office area rest room, and exposed to the weather for about 30 feet. I told him I'd fix it the next morning. I get a call that morning that water was "everywhere over here, it's even coming out of the toilet"! When I got there he told me he had left the water running in a sink so it wouldn't freeze. I told him the drain was still frozen so it had no where to go. "Why is it coming out of the toilet and not the sink then"? "Because the sink it higher than the toilet and they use the same drain", I said. He almost had tears in his eyes..."Please fix it and don't tell anyone.." I did, and never mentioned it.
