A rental from the future? :-OOO

They said it was brand new so I assumed it was a 2005. It may have been a
brand new 2004, but the point still remains, just change from 2005 to 2004--are
the 2004s smaller than the 2000s.

The 1999-2004 Sonatas are the same size. I haven't seen a 2005 in person,
so I can't comment. I don't know if any have made it to rental fleets
yet.

I find it hard to believe that the interior of that 2004 was the same as my
2000. Both I and my roomate commented on how cramped it was. I lowered the
seat all the way down, and my knees were hitting the steering column. I
adjusted the wheel tilt, and it was the same.

Are you sure it was a Sonata you drove? Current Accents look like older
Sonatas :-)

It was a Sonata.

I've determined part of the issue may be the short steering wheel
columm. I haven't measured the relative distances, but basically it
seems the wheel on the Sonata is short compared to the pedals.

This means when you adjust for pedal fit (which is how I do it) you
end up too far from the wheel. Conversly, if you adjust for wheel
fit, you'll be on top of the pedals.

For more, see my post under: 2003 Sonata complaint, started 11 Sept
2004.
