I really respect that you put as much effort into a Sonata as you do in your Audi and Volvo videos.
Shows you take care of your customers no matter their income bracket...you give them quality, RESPECT!!
Thanks so much for your kind feedback! I really appreciate it. Our crew does everything we can to produce the best videos within our ability so that we, hopefully, never let our viewers down..:) Steve
It really is a great car! I'm actually enjoying my commute every morning in mine. ☺
Amazing how different it feels when you love what you drive.
Actually purchased the Hybrid limited. Best car I have ever owned. I love this ride. Thank you for the great review.
Congratulations and you're very welcome..:) Steve
I already bought the sel plus 2020 but I still love watching videos about it!
This channel needs more views. Always loved your vids!
I bought a k5 GT LINE with premium package in passion red last May and love it. On a side note, after watching your review of the 2017 Elantra, I bought one. It's been an excellent vehicle, just turned 95.000 miles, and has required 0 repairs!! Still runs, drives, and looks like new! I kept it , its too nice to let go, so I use it for my 80 mile round trip to work. And keeps the miles down on the new car!
Great as usual! Watching it while flying to Siberia (Novosibirsk) Hello to you and all ur team! BR Iurii. S.Petersburg, Russia
Thanks so much and I hope you have a great trip! Stop by and say "hi" if you're ever in town..:) Steve

@@rosenthalstevek8869 Cant Wait!
We looked at the 2021 Sonata but after reviewing numerous of TH-cam videos and test drive we decided on the Kia K5 EX more car for the money The 1.6 T has ample HP. Both cars have great styling. This is our 3 Kia and we went with the Customer Loyalty Perks to save money Both Cars are a win win !
Wanted to see how the safety features worked
Start at 1:15 - you're welcome
Nice review, You did excellent, Planning to buy
Thanks! I hope you enjoy your new ride..:) Steve
Getting this car because of you. Great video
Thanks! I know you'll enjoy the ride..:) Steve
Which trim are you buying?
I'm interested in the SEL with Convenience package.
I just cant decide on a color. Probably red or silver.
@@dougn2350 I just got a blue limited with black interior yesterday. Never been happier in my life
The trunk structure demonstration was very helpful.
Just got the 2023 Limited which has some additional tech compared to the 2019 Kia Optima SXL turbo I traded. Lots of style and value. The Kia had more getup and go but this Hyundai is decent enough. Love the steering wheel design which provides more options for gripping. I actually am using the remote park function in my tight garage which has always been a struggle. Missing some of the physical buttons for menu selection but using voice commands more often now. I added an organizer to the armrest bin which makes it more useful imo. The vary has a more upscale feel at a lower price than it's typical competitors.
I was initially put off by the glossy piano black but have found it has not been the fingerprint magnet I had expected. I actually am loving the design of the steering wheel which gives me several different positions to grip or hold and turn the wheel. You have to use it to appreciate the design. I would have preferred a power port in back that i could put in a USB car charger or any other 12v accessory. Might prefer some whale or more interesting ambient sounds to the nature sounds offered. Also would like a net on the back of the driver's seat. Lane keeping is improved over my previous 2019 Kia. Wish they would do away with the gas cap as other cars I've had.
I don't really see the fish. I see a strong aggressive appearance that stands out among its competitors. I remember the negative comments when Audi changed their grill back around 2006. The more recent offerings from both Kia and Hyundai have changed my mind about this more budget brand compared to the more expensive cars i have had previously. The badge may not have the cachet of some other brands but the value is worth more to me. I don't really like the hyundai logo but will put up with it. Maybe it will grow on me
Great to read your experience, did you look into a Limited 20-22?? I’m trying to figure out if there’s an differences between the years
@@cristianfaison8238 I didn't shop other years but it's essentially the same design for those years from what I can tell.
@@oldgoldtopgoldtop6039 thanks bro I appreciate the quick response!! have a great day
Love the review thank you
You're very welcome. I hope you check out some of our other car reviews and subscribe..:) Steve
Great Review, my friend! I love my 2021 Limited
Thanks for your kind words. Congratulations on your new 2021 Limited..:) Steve
Best review thanks !
You're very welcome..:) Steve
I thought the parking brake set itself when you hit the Park selection.
You should do more videos on a regular basis.
Great video. I’ve been holding out for N Line, but it looks like it will lose some of the lux features like cooled seats and 360 cam. Think I’m gonna get this.
What did you go with?
@@kJ-gk5qu I bought a 21’ Limited in Hampton Gray. Love it!!!!
Can’t wait until I get mines
The SE and SEL is 2.5 litre non-turbo
The cane part was funny
Subscribed nice Hyundai Sonata.. do compare with k5 , accord, Mazda 6 etc.
From my understanding,the 2.5 l is not turbocharged.
I'm a little confused with this car, how is the 1.6T an upgrade over the natural aspirated 2.5LT when it has less horsepowers?, Also why does the SEL Plus has 19" wheels while the limited has 18"?, Overall I like the car but weird decisions on Hyundai's part.
With the 1.6, you get higher torque...... and you get it low in the rev range. So you don’t have to wind it out to get thrust. Thus, it feels faster than 2.5 even though it has less HP
Is the steering wheel actually heated.?
Yes
Yes it is.
Do the camera merrier's
My dream!
Love your reviews. Please quit any full time job
you may have that takes away from making more videos.
I would definitively pick this car over many Europeans.
It's a great choice..:) Steve
I love all your reviews, but you sound like a commercial! Lol
Thanks and I'll take that as a "compliment"! I wish I was paid as if it were a commercial..:) Steve
Car is a dog with a cute face. Just drove one. Lawnmower engine sounds rough. Think I’ll buy a Mazda 6
MAN I must say... That’s a longgg red light stop action you go going on there.
I was also thinking that
its great car but made in usa so no thank you
Why not just pull down the rear seats from opening the back door? Ohhhh that’s too haaaaard!
The front of that car looks like a head on look of a flounder. Major fail.
I thought the same thing until I saw the car in person and out in the real world. Strangely, it didn't look as "out of place" as most people might believe at first sight. It's nothing like the gigantic Lexus grills and I think that the proportions of it actually accentuate the body style and don't really detract as so many people say. But that's just my opinion. Thanks for watching our video and I hope you subscribe..:) Steve
If you get this in portofino grey or black, it’s hardly noticeable. Then throw on your plate which breaks it up, and it’s way less than accord or lexus
Ugly cat fish.. I love the teck they offer the interior etc but the front in horrible ugly cat fish ....
The front end looks like a catfish opening it's mouth.
you look a little like KIRK DOUGLAS .
