Just to find out from brothers and sisters here how far has your mag taken you and was there any major issue? Mine is 64K after 3 years of driving and minor mechanical prob here and there. Battery changed twice. Lights still ok. Wonder how tough is our korean baby and how far can it go until bottoming out. I understand that mag is really the sonata mechanically so it should be as tenacious as its hyundai cousin.

my mag 05 is going at 82k, for 3 years now. No problems at all actually..just did some adjustments to the spring and absorbers to make it more stable considering mag's stock stability is not very good.. =) i'm beginning to love this car.

I have no problem getting better 10km/L. Slow driver only first 5-10 mins driving in smaller road. Engine lethargic when cold and also car heavy mah. Once highway, mostly 100-120 in lane 1 (oops gonna watchout for TP). Engine so quiet can't tell different between 90 and 120, except my tyre.
Just installed Fuel Cat after warranty over. Looks like getting 11km/L. Still monitoring.

Pai seh just gasak gasak.
ok. You can try my ride if you notice any better before considering Fuel Cat. Any time just sms me.
I just passed 100,000km and still think it's not very different from 3 years ago. Do correct me here if I am wrong after trying.
