    I used to watch quite a few car reviewers. But now I've just narrowed them down all to only one. And that's u Joe. Love everything about your channel. The car reviews are frequent, relevant, and detailed enough so that I know what I need to know fairly quickly without spending 30 mins to learn about a car. And also your reviews follow a set pattern or sequence so I know where to find specific details if I'm quickly looking for them. Others have some or all of these above mentioned details as well, but the reason u stand out is because of your humor. Breaks up the monotony. Thanks from a long time subscriber 👍😊

    I love your videos and the detail. I actually just purchased this SEL PLUS, with the Tech Package, in Shimmering Silver. I had to get the panoramic sunroof. Would have gotten the limited version, but I couldn’t justify the extra cost for functions that I’m not going to use. I mean, if I gotta worry about using the park assist feature, I’d be worrying about dings in my door to repaint. No thank you, I’ll park far away and enjoy walking back to my beautiful car with no dings. As the former owner of a Volvo S40 T5 and a Lexus SC40, I have to say this is a really fun car to drive. Best value for the money for sure.

    Those wheels look good, so much better than the ones I’ve seen on the other trim levels. This is one of the few cars that a front plate (required where I live) will make the car look better by breaking up that huge grill.

    Hyundai has been hitting grand slams! I got a 2020 Sonata SEL in Phantom Black a few months back and this car has been amazing as a daily driver. At this price point, I was glad to choose it over the Accord, Camry, and even the redesigned Optima. Your zonks are definitely warranted, but like you said this car is well balanced for what it offers. The N Line is sure to also be a winner as well and I cannot wait for you to review it alongside the new Elantra as well.

Family has had 4 sonatas now. 2013 15 18 and now 2021. Love this one very much. Wasn't expecting on getting the turbo but it runs great. And gets great gas mileage!.

    So ive been in front of this version on the road with the LED DRLs like this. Looked in the mirror...You dont see the strip running up as good and can see the difference in brightness majorly with the bottom. People talkin bout how nice this is but im sayin not as good in effect after you see it.

    One zonk that i have in terms of car design, and is not specificaly for the Sonata is "when you are designing practical family car with sloping roof why not making it hatchback (or as audi calls it sportback)".

      A month later still enjoying this car.
      Some of the alerts are naggy but it's a really nice sedan for the price.
      Plenty of space for storage and people. I can keep a wheel chair in the trunk and still have room for like 30 dozens of donuts. 😏

    • @RachelHendricks
      @RachelHendricks 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      So follow up review. 4 months out.
      The tires are really bad if it's wet out. I made the same left turn I've been doing to work and it was raining and the car ended up in the shoulder. I was surprised by that. It wasn't a dramatic thing, but enough for me to consider getting winter tires.

    Sonata and K5 are awesome abd great value. Better that the small crossovers for sure.
    But I think people (ok not all... just buyers who want more sporty sedans)should wait for the Sonata N-Line cause the 2.5L 290HP will be really cool.

  • @3232myke
    @3232myke 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Those LEDs are nice , yet another thing to go wrong or break after warranty is up, and the tires, not much meat on them , they look good but hitting a pothole or bumps not so good, those size tires are expensive as well

    I would rather see a flat horizon through the windshield. Too many manufacturers design busy dashboards with tacked on humps across the top of the dash which look too busy and too cheap. Smoother lines would be much better.
