    I'm in Texas. I've got a 2021. For what it is, it's a blast. It's fun shocking the hell out of "big boys" like Charger RTs and numerous European badges. It's not a track car. It's a fun daily driver. I drove from Dallas to Austin and back in the same day. 450 MI on a tank and I was not exactly driving like the reasonable and prudent sedate older gentleman that I appear to be. 😉

    Sunday I just picked up a new '23. Thanks for the video. I was out looking for a car this weekend. My range of what I was looking for was huge. I am 6'6" and shaped like the younger, larger gentleman of this video. Except I have linebacker shoulders. My wife is 6'2". I was looking for something we fit in. I have been an Accord driver my entire life. I love them. I sat in over 30 vehicles this last weekend. I honestly thought we were going to get an SUV or a Pilot. This car has more front cabin space than many SUVs. (Not the Pilot, however many things the size of the Pilot is more cramped than the N line Sonata.) It is spacious and comfortable. The fact that this car has so much wrapped in one for the price is absolutely crazy. It is a beautiful blend of sports/sedan/intro luxury with decent mpg all for a crazy good price. All weekend people are trying to show me Chargers and things of that ilk. I kept saying I am not looking for a sports car. I need to be comfortable. I end up getting a car that dusts a Charger not only off the line but in the hills too. :facepalm: Also to note, my wife does not have a license yet. I am going to teacher her how to drive. She is asking if she can learn to drive in this. I feel absolutely comfortable teaching her to drive in this. As is pointed out in this video. The normal drive mode has a smooth appropriate dilled in steering. When in sport it tightens it all up. It is also very well balanced and handles wonderfully on the road. The pedals are not overly sensitive. the engine does not surge if you are driving slow. However, I still have instant power and handles wonderfully. Also comes with modern safety features, driving assists. It will keep her (or me) from sideswiping or plowing into a car. You can turn that stuff off. Or have parts of it on. Edit: We took this on Highway One (Northern Cali Coast) This car was just planted. I did not look for the limit. I kept it safe. I agree, the car does make you want to know where the limits are. The largest issue with this car: I have had it less than three days and way too many young dangerous fools are trying to race me. Or trying to run up on my tail, or cut me off etc. Take that crap to the track.

Not tuned, no drone, sounds great...and it does still have some ("snap-crackle-pops") when in sport mode, in various situations. Running the OEM sized tire on OEM rims, with VREDESTEIN WINTRAC PRO tires. Couldn't be happier. (Wisconsin)

Making a Sonata "N" would push it too close to an awd Genesis line. Hyundai didn't confuse themselves. Or maybe they are looking at ditching the 2.5 Genesis and will come out with a Sonata awd N version that bridges the Sonata to just the 3.3 genesis. 20K less than a Stinger, I can't complained. Owned both. The 55+ tag on the Stinger/G70 3.3 AWD, is overrated imo.
