Got a quick question regarding your test drive. I have the 2020 Sonata Limited. When you go to "manual shift" the car will drop down to "D" if the revs drop below or above recommended. In my 2018 Elantra GT Sport there was a switch that essentially kept the car in "manual" instead of dropping it into drive it would drop or increase to the next gear. Does the N-Line have something similar? Plus does the N-Line have driver profiles for the seats and mirrors?

Wasn't really a Kia/Hyundai fan until very recently. But yeah, going from making cheap and awfully dreadful cars during their early days that nobody should be caught dead in, to making likeable cars that are just as good as the rest of the competition, if not better. They've came a long way.

Holy Hyundai I just got 9 new Hyundai reviews in my sub box. I applaud Hyundai for giving us this version of the Sonata, but as sporty and fun to drive as it seems, I’d probably still go for an Accord 2.0T or a Mazda6 2.5T, personally. But easy to see why others would go for the Sonata instead. I will say I’d have this over the Camry, though.

Great video guys , this will be my next car.
Great video guys. I purchased a Limited model back in May and I'm still pleased. It has the contrasting leather interior with heated and cooled seats and LED headlights which aren't available with the N line. That all gray interior looks bland.

I have the pearl white with the blackout roof and tan interior. It looks great against the contrasting exterior. This is my third Sonata (I've owned a 2011 & 2015). I gave the 2011 to my daughter and it still looks new. The biggest difference in that car and the 2020 is the size and weight. The 2011 had lighter steering fell and a stiffer suspension. However the 2020 feels like it turns flatter, and its isolation to potholes and ruts is exceptional. It feels like a more sophisticated car. The technology is great. Only wish it had the new wireless Apple Carplay. Hyundai gives you more value for your money.

TheStraightPipes, What I only learned today was that this G4KP class engine Hyundai and Kia uses has both Multiport and Direct injection like Toyota's D-4S system. This helps me consider the chance of purchasing one of these cars. The G4KR class engine is for the company's rear wheel drive applications. Identical engine but for longitudinal orientation. Thumbs up!
In Australia we get heads up display, automatic rear blind and manual rear door blinds, heated and cooling front seats and heated seats in rear,heated steering wheel, 360°camera, blind spot cameras.
You guys should definitely put the K5 GT or the Sonata N-Line against the Camry TRD.

Mustang beat it by 3 cars on the drag, idk what you were watching. And on the roll race, the Mustang started after the accord and still came past. Not to mention ford sells a tune for the Mustang with a warranty that shits on every similar car. Mustang runs a 13.5to 13.7 quarter mile, accord is a 14.00 to 14.2. Mustang with ford tune runs a 13.00 to 13.2 Not even close. Also the Mustang has the worst Intercooler ever put in a high hp inline 4. It gets heat soaked after a single run, a problem literally any other car doesn’t have to deal with. Mustang was already heat soaking by the roll race. I know because I own one, (19) modded and tuned.
