    Thank you Joe and Lori! I very much like the drivetrain of the Sonata. No turbo and no CVT. Just hybrid system for extra power and efficiency, which is in my opinion the way to go if one wants reliability and longevity. The Koreans are killing it.

    I remember in the late 80's I took a Sonata out for a test drive for some reason i declined buying one my first car was a Honda Civic Hatchback got it used found out it was in a bad accident so i went and got another used car the Nissan 200SX loved it Then in 1989 after trying out the Sonata I went for a 1989 Dodge Spirit ES V6 Silver Loaded Fog Lights came to near 22 Thousand dollars Loved that car so much but had lots of problems with Breaks and Pads
    Then Traded it in 1991 for a Blue Mazda Protege 323 SE Loaded
    Sunroof Spoiler . Love it you done those cars . also a 1992 Grand Prix Loaded
    Now that Hyundai Sonata has changed so much over the years Love the look of it now. the front reminds me a bit of the Lucid Car also what happened to that car don't see any in my Province of Nova Scotia , Canada
    Looking inside of the Sonata when you are sitting behind the wheel all you got to say now is Like Capt Picard is say Engage lol Love the white and grey inside when buying a car like that make sure you don't have kids eating candy or anything
    I see more Elantra's around in my city more than the Sonata's all in all I think the Car is Beautiful Great Video

    I'm currently looking to get a new car and am torn between this new Sonata and the new Camry. I think I could get a better deal with the Sonata as the new Camry will probably be in high demand. I was looking at the Accord but I don't think they offer as much for the similar price.
    I am concerned over Hyundai's reliability with all the coverage of their recalls and break-ins due to social media trends.
    In 2018 I bought a 2015 Hyundai Sonata shortly after college as my "new" car and loved it. I gave it to my brother in September 2023, as he needed a car at the time; I worked from home and rarely drove it. Since then he's spent hundreds on repairs that should have start appearing when he hit 100k miles. He only just hit 60k miles recently.

I would say nowaday, cars are like design to last around 10 years that even apply to Toyota.

      This hybrid system seems to be fairly reliable since they stopped using the DCT. I have 3 hyundai kia vehicles and gave had no issues with any so far. Toyota is reliable but the price difference will be big since Toyota dealers don't have his incentives or deals so it can take a lot of possible repairs to make up that difference

      Don’t go Accord. It’s unreliable and if you hate cheap materials, you will regret in getting it. The outgoing Camry is nice enough, and the new one is even nicer. But the Camry is still far from being as nice as the Sonata. As far as the Accord, think of it as a Yugo 😉

For example, when you drive on suburban areas, parking lots, just stop on the road, hybrid battery will cover you. Additionally, the regen breaking on this specific vehicle will also give energy to your battery when you apply brakes.

    I honestly think more companies should at the very least offer the option of an traditional transmission instead of cvt. Especially toyota since they're notorious for offering several different engine options.

    IDK the answer but I just saw one and that is a very good looking car about like the latest Accord and Audi A7. In Honda I still think I'd choose a Crosstour. I think the answer you're asking about which one to pick is going to be about income. Hyundai has intermittent quality like Dodge and GM. They hire attorneys rather than fixing anything. I'd think if you could fit Honda in your budget or Toyota that's what you'd choose but I was wrong once before today so IDK. I really don't know these late model imports. I like the looks but that's all I know. Maybe I'll drive one next year when I go.

    Short answer, no. Not as good but maybe Hyundai/Kia have sorted out reliability issues, particularly with that delta engine that seems to enjoy destroying itself sometimes.

    The front looks cool - almost too aggressive for what it is - it could literally be a lambo. I think it's the wheels that are letting it down - we know they can do it, the first gen Optima (or at least the first gen that mattered, 5-10 years ago) had awesome wheels.

    I have the ‘23 Accord Sport Hybrid and I gotta say, the Sonata (old or new) makes my Accord look like a plebeian car. Hyundai uses upscale materials, while Honda has been using cheap, disposable materials throughout the exterior and interior on the entire new vehicle lineup, even on the Prologue. Unlike the previous Accord, the new one is a major disappointment. It’s been to the shop 9 times (so much for reliability). Every time I’m on a rough road or go over a bump, the feeling on the Accord is as if it’s going to fall apart. You can see the dash, center console and all the mirrors move, and you can also hear excessive creaks and rattle everywhere. I don’t think Honda fully finished building my Accord lol. The new Camry looks nice, with more premium materials and more power than the predecessor, but it’s definitely nicer than the Accord. The only premium cars that offer comparable high quality materials to the Sonata are the K5 and Mazda 6.
