Purchasing a new automobile

I own a 2006 Hyundai Sonata with a 3.3 ltr engine. I could not be happier. 215k miles and never a repair until recently, air conditioner.

So I want to purchase another automobile.

Suggestions from anyone? I want:

A car with some power as my Sonata,
cruise control that maintains the speeds without a sudden surge
a large trunk
a comfortable drivers seat
prefer a sedan
<$24K
and the usual - PB,PS,PW,PL,FM Stereo & CD player
Cloth seats

I own a ranch and do not want to drive a truck - I own a ranch truck. I want a comfortable car with power and large trunk to haul supplies and tools and on occasion a dozen bags of cattle cubes.

Any suggestions on what make and model to cpnsider?

Re: Purchasing a new automobile

If you like your current Sonata, I would suggest getting another (newer) one. The only thing is the 3.3 you have has been retired, they're all 4 cyl engines now, but some of them are turbocharged. If you get one with a turbo, you'll find almost the same amount of power as your 3.3. If you spring for the GDI version, you'll find even more power.
